• Use the optional USB cable to connect.

• Effective with USB only when the mouse is used.

• Do not use with any device other than a personal computer.

• When using with Windows 95, it is necessary to set so that USB can be used with version

OSR 2.1 or higher. Depending on the kind or the virsion of the host controller, operation may

not be possible in some cases.

• In the case of notebook type computers with a built-in pointing device such as a track ball, in

some cases the built-in pointing device will have priority even if a mouse is connected and

the mouse may not be selected.

In such case, disable the built-in pointing device and change the BIOS setting (system setup)

so that an external mouse can be selected.

After changing the BIOS setting, perform the operations described in 1 - 3 above.

Refer to the computer hardware manual concerning the BIOS setting.

Also, some computers may not have a utility program to operate a mouse. Refer to the

computer hardware manual.

When data sent by the projector cannot be understood

(1) The computer sends the command code ‘3xH’ , ‘4xH’ or ‘4xH’ + ‘yyH’ +data to the projector.

(2) When the command sent by the projector cannot be understood, the the error code ‘0xH’ +‘yyH’ +data is

returned.

When the data length is greater than indicated by the data length code, the projector will ignore the excess data code.

Conversely, when the data length is shorter than indicated by the data length code, an error code will be

returned to the projector.

When a frame error occurs

Repeats 10 times per second until there is some sort of response to the error code 70H + 70H.

When the interval between bytes in one command is 500ms or greater

When a command or data is not sent within 500ms after the command code ‘2xH’ , ‘3xH’ or ‘4xH’ is sent by

the computer, the error command ‘70H’ +‘70H’ will be returned as soon as the 500ms elapses. After this, if

there is no response within 1 sec., a frame error will occur.

The response data in (3) above need not match the setting data in (1).

For example, when the projector cannot set the setting data in (1), the projector may set the

closest value. That value will be used as the response data in (3). Or else the projector will

return the error code ‘0xH’ + ‘yyH’ +data.

• Operation cannot be guaranteed when the projector receives an undefined command or data.

• Provide an interval of at least 40ms between the response code and any other code.

Do not operate the projector with the air filter removed. (If used with the air filter removed,

dust can enter the LCD panel and produce an adverse effect on image quality.)
