Image Size and Projection Distance

The maximum size of the image is determined by the distance
from the projector's lens to the screen. Depending on how you
use the Zoom and other settings, the actual size may be smaller.

Projecting a Square Image
For best image quality, place the projector at a height where its
lens is between the top and bottom of the screen. This lets you
keep the projector level and use the vertical lens shift knob to
position the image.
If you place the projector above or below screen level, you'll
have to tilt it up or down to aim the image at the screen; this
distorts (or "keystones") the shape of the image, but you can
correct it using the projector's Keystone function (see page 5).
