EMP NS Connection Useful Functions This chapter explains those functions that may be useful in a meeting or presentation, such as the function which allows you to send images to multiple projectors from a single computer (Multi-Screen Display).
In Presentation Mode, the images are only displayed when performing a PowerPoint Slide Show on a computer. When you stop Slide Show, the projector displays a black screen. This is useful when you only want to display the Slide Show.
Multi-screen display mode allows you to project different images from multiple projectors that are connected to a single computer. With Windows, multiple virtual displays can be set in the computer, and each image can be projected by the projector. This function is not available with Windows Vista due to restrictions in the Windows Vista specifications.

Specifying Either an IP Address or Projector Name and Performing a Search (Advanced Connection Mode Only) Specifying Either an IP Address or Projector Name and Performing a Search (Advanced Connection Mode Only) In the following explanations, unless otherwise noted, Windows screen shots are used.
Performing a Search with a Profile Performing a Search with a Profile You can save a search for a frequently used projector as a Profile. A Profile is a file containing all of the information pertaining to a given projector, such as the Projector Name, its IP Address, and SSID. By specifying the profile each time you perform a search, there is no need to enter IP Address or Projector Name.
Performing a Search with a Profile Enter a Profile name and then click "Add". Projector information is registered in the Profile. If you have previously saved a Profile, you are prompted to confirm whether that Profile can be overwritten. To save a Profile with a dif- ferent name, select Save as.
Click "Profile" on the EMP NS Connection projector selection screen. If no Profile is registered, you cannot select Profile. From the menu that is displayed, select the projector you want to connect to. The search results are displayed on the EMP NS Connection pro- jector selection screen.

Using a Computer to Set Up, Monitor and Control Projectors This chapter explains how to use a computer that is connected to the network to change projector settings and to control the projector.
Changing Settings Using a Web Browser (Web Control) Changing Settings Using a Web Browser (Web Control) You can set up and control the projector from a computer by using the Web browser of a computer that is connected to the projector via a network.
Changing Settings Using a Web Browser (Web Control) Items that can only be set in the Web browser The following items can be set only in a Web browser. • SNMP Community Name • WEP Authentication Method (Open/Shared)
By setting SNMP from the projector's configuration menu, notification messages are sent to preset e-mail addresses when a problem or warning occurs with a projector. This is useful when controlling projectors collectively at a point distant from them. See your User’s Guide for more information.
• When using a USB hard disk, we recommend using an AC adapter power supply. • The projector does not support media formatted on some file systems. If you have trouble with projecting, use media formatted under Windows. • Format the media using the FAT16/32 file system.
Press the [USB] button on the remote control or the [Source Search] button on the projector’s control panel. When a USB storage device is connected to the projector, Slideshow starts. See your User’s Guide for more information on connecting a USB storage device.
