Starting Up The Projector - Epson PowerLite 54C Manual

EPSON PowerLite 54c/74c Projector
If you place the projector level with the bottom of the screen,
the image will be rectangular and you won't have to adjust it. If
you place the projector higher than the bottom of the screen,
the image will still be rectangular, but you won't be able to fill
the whole screen with the image.

Starting Up the Projector

Make sure your projector and other equipment are set up and
connected correctly. Then turn on your projector, as described
below.
If you turn on your connected computer or video equipment
before starting the projector, the projector automatically detects
and displays the image source. If you turn on the projector first,
or have multiple pieces of connected equipment, you may have
to select the image source manually (as described on page 5).
Follow these steps to plug in and turn on the projector:
1. Remove the lens cap.
Caution
Do not use the projector with the lens cap in place. The heat
generated by the lamp can damage the cap.
2. Connect one end of the power cord to the projector's power
inlet. Then connect the other end to an electrical outlet.
The power light on top of the projector turns orange,
indicating that the projector is receiving power but not yet
turned on. Wait until the light stops flashing, but stays lit
orange.
