What you can do with HUB
This projector is equipped with a relaying HUB.
You can do:
– Easy Data (File) Exchange
– Projection of the data in the compters connected
via the HUB
– Connection with an existing LAN
– Print out through a Network printer
Example of Network System
1) Connect laptop computers directly to the internal
HUB. Copy data to the computer which is con-
nected to this projector with RGB connection, and
project the data.
• You can also send presentation data to other
computers easily.
2) Connect an existing LAN network to the internal
HUB. Print out data through a Network printer
which is connected to the existing LAN.
• Read out data using the computer which has the
IP address of the existing LAN network and then
print them out.
• A printer driver, etc. may be necessary for printing.
Please refer to the owner's guide of the printer.
