● Features
• Three handy features in a single body. The projector for the multimedia age
1. Documents, catalogs and other printed matter can be projected directly from
the scanner. This frees the user from the need to make OHP film inserts for
each document.
2. Personal computer screens can be projected. This allows the user to make
detailed presentations using information on a personal computer.
3. Videos and DVD images can be projected as they are. This aids the user in
making visually appealing presentations.
• Easy-to-understand and simple operation
Projection of printed matter, personal computer screens and video images can
be selected at the push of a button.
• High cost effective resource-saving design
OHP film inserts no longer need to be made, which saves wasted time and
expense.
•
“Super-Slim” Stylish Body
Full OHP functions based on advanced technology built in to a super-slim
chassis. It fits anyplace, when you’re using it, and when you need to put it away.
• Expressive color images
The projector is equipped with a high-resolution 2 million pixel single-array color
CCD camera. This allows subtle midtones in color documents to be reproduced
faithfully and sharp as projected images in full color (16,770,000 colors).
• Enlarged display without changing the size of the projected image
When projecting documents such as catalogs and word-processor documents
containing small text that have not been made specially for presentations, the
document can be enlarged without changing the size of the projected image for
easier viewing.
• Provided with display functions for compressed or enlarged PC screen
Screens of resolution more than 1024 x 768 dots are displayed compressed to
1024 x 768 dots without any loss in character quality. Lower resolutions such as
640 x 480 can also be enlarged to 1024 x 768 dots.

CAUTION
• Installation
• Avoid installing the projector in places where it may be exposed to:
- Strong vibrations
- Soot or steam
- Direct sunlight or near a heater (35˚C/95˚F or higher)
- High humidity or dust
- Extreme cold (0˚C/32˚F or lower)
- Strong magnetic or electric field generated from a nearby appliance
- Wobbling on an unstable surface
• Do not block the air vents.
• Do not block the air vents with cloth or an object.
When you put anything around the unit, be sure to ensure a space of 10 cm/4
inches or more between the unit and the air vent. Be sure to prevent paper or
cloth from blocking the air vent at the bottom of the unit. If blocked, the
internal temperature may increase, resulting in malfunctions.

damage.
E-4
• Care of the projector
• To prevent risk of accidents, always disconnect the power plug before clean-
ing the projector.
• Clean the lens surface with a commercial blower or lens cleaning paper.
Wiping with tissue paper or a handkerchief can damage the lens.
• To clean the cabinet, operation panel, and glass surface, wipe gently with a
soft cloth. For particularly dirty spots, soak the cloth in a neutral detergent
mixed in water, wring out well and wipe off the dirt, then use a dry cloth to
wipe dry.
• Do not wipe the projector with any volatile solvent such as benzine or thinner.
Solvents can cause surface deformation or flaking of the paint.
If using an impregnated cloth, follow the instructions.
• Avoid scratching the glass surface.
• Take care not to scratch the glass surface of the scanner with hard or pointed
objects.
Scratches on the glass may distort the projected image.
• Batteries
• When inserting batteries in the remote control, note the polarity (plus and
minus signs) and insert correctly as indicated. Inserting a battery in a wrong
direction can cause rupture or leakage, and could result in fire and injury or
soil the surrounding area.
• Do not use batteries other than the type specified for the equipment. Do not
use a new battery and an old battery together. Incorrect battery usage could
result in rupture or leakage, and could cause fire and injury.
• Do not heat, break open, burn, or immerse the batteries. Battery rupture or
leakage could cause fire and injury.
• Servicing and cleaning
• Have the internal components cleaned by a retailer about once a year. There
is a risk of fire or faulty operation if the inside of the projector gets dusty and
is not cleaned for a long time. For best results, the projector should be
serviced before the wet season brings damp conditions. Cleaning charges
are at the discretion of the retailer.
• If not using the projector for a long period:
•
If you do not plan to use the projector for a long time, disconnect the power
cord for safety.
• Disposal
• Follow the recommendations of your local authority when disposing of the
projector.
• Transporting the projector
• Use the special packaging when transporting the projector. The manufacturer
cannot accept responsibility in the event of damage or accident if other
packaging is used.
• Use the special packaging no more than two times. Repeated usage reduces
the shock absorbency of the packaging and can lead to damage or accident.
• Contact the retailer if you require new packaging.
• Lamp implosion
• An AC type New Super High pressure lamp is used in this projector and it is
rare for the lamp to explode during use. The lamp is also designed to forcibly
turn off because there is a high possibility that the lamp will break if it is used
beyond the lamp usage of 1500 hours (Refer to pages E-54 and E-55).
E-5
Note the following things
• A noise occurs because the internal pressure of the New Super High pres-
sure lamp gets extremely high.
The unit is designed so that no pieces of glass come out of it when the lamp
explodes.
• However, the gas inside of the lamp can escape and looks like white smoke.
It will not cause any fire.
Remedy
•
If a lamp explodes in a product, there will be pieces of lamp inside. Do not
replace the lamp. Return the product to the sales office or agent of purchase.
Even though the lamp has exploded, never try to replace the lamp by your-
self. The lamp pieces could cause injury.
• Replacing the lamp
• Be sure to turn the lamp off and disconnect the power cord when the fan
stops, and wait an hour or more before replacing the lamp.
Replacing the lamp during operation or just after the power is turned off may
cause burns due to heat.
Refer to “Lamp Unit Replacement” on page E-54 for the procedure.
• Replacing / cleaning the air filter
• Be sure to disconnect the power cord when the cooling fan stops before
removing the air filter.
Removing the air filter while the cooling fan is rotating could cause a burn.
Refer to “Cleaning the Air Filter” on page E-56 for the procedure.
• Avoiding malfunctions and accidents
• Adjust the Adjustable feet to keep the projector horizontal.
Using the projector in a tilted status may cause injury if it turns over. Refer to
“Adjusting the Tilt” on page E-18 for the adjusting procedure.
• Do not disassemble the manganese batteries
•
Do not short-circuit, disassemble, or burn the manganese batteries.
Doing so could cause the batteries to generate heat or explode due to the
leaked solution, resulting in fire, injury, or damages to the surrounding area.
• Do not do the followings
• Do not put anything heavy on the projector.
• Do not step on the projector, rack, or stand. Do not hold or hang on the
projector.
Doing so could cause the projector to turn over or break, resulting in injury.
Especially be careful if small children are near.
• Do not use the rack unless the casters are locked when placing the projector
on a rack with casters.
Doing so may cause the projector to move or turn over, resulting in injury.
• Do not turn the lamp on/off within one minute after it is turned off/on. Ex-
tremely high voltage is generated in the lamp just after it is turned on. Turning
the lamp on/off too frequently could cause the lamp to deteriorate or break,
resulting in malfunctions of the projector.
• Do not project an image with the lens cap attached.
• Moving the projector
• Be sure careful of the glass surface when moving the projector while holding
•
the handles with both hands.
If not inserted fully, the materials cover may get loose and fall off while you
carry it.
E-6
• Care of the power cord and plug
• Do not put the power cord near a heater.
Doing so could cause the sheath of the cable to melt down, resulting in fire or
electric shock.
• Do not connect or disconnect the power cord with wet hands. Doing so could
cause electric shock.
• Be sure to pull out the power cord and disconnect any cable connections
between units and release the anti-theft lock before moving the projector.
Moving the projector with cables connected may cause fire or electric shock if
the cables are damaged.
If you do not plan to use the projector for a long time, disconnect the power
cord for safety.
