Introduction The document describes how to control your BenQ projector via RS232 from a computer. Follow the procedures to complete the connection and settings first, and refer to the command table for RS232 commands. Available functions and commands vary by model. Check the specifications and user manual of the purchased projector for product functions.
Connections and communication settings Choose one of the connections and set up properly before RS232 control. RS232 serial port with a crossover cable D-Sub 9 pin (male) on a projector PC or laptop D-Sub 9 pin (female) Communication cable (crossover) Settings On-screen images in this document are for reference only.
