Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a rectangular,
perfectly-centered image that completely fills the screen.
Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen and in such a way
that the lens center and screen center are aligned with each other, as shown in Figure 3-2.

If it is not possible to align the projector and screen as shown in Figure 3-2, you can use
the lens shift controls to center the image on the screen. Lens shift is generally expressed
as a percentage of the screen height or width, as shown in Figure 3-3 and Figure 3-4.

approx. 6-7" (depending
on the amount of lens shift)
Note: This is a general example of lens shift. Lenses vary in their shift capabilities. No
