projector before sending the next command. When transmitting a command which does not need a parameter, a colon (:) is
not necessary.

f If a command cannot be executed, the "ER401" response is sent from the projector to the computer.
f If an invalid parameter is sent, the "ER402" response is sent from the projector to the computer.
f ID transmission in RS-232C supports ZZ (ALL) and 01 to 06.
f If a command is sent with a specified ID, a response will be sent to the computer only in the following cases.
