Setting up the Screen For optimal image quality, position the projector perpendicular to the screen with the projector’s feet flat and level. Doing so will eliminate the need for Keystone correction and provide the best image quality. Note • The projector lens should be centered in the middle of the screen. If the horizontal line passing through the lens center is not perpendicular to the screen, the image will be distorted, making viewing difficult.
The projection screen size varies according to the distance from the lens of the projector to the screen. The optional lenses from Sharp are also available for specialized application. Please see your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer to details on all the lenses. (Refer to the lens operation manual when using a lens.) Also, be sure to have service personnel install the optional lenses.

Setting up the Projector Network Environment This section describes the basic procedure for using the projector via the network. If the network is already constructed, the projector’s network settings may need to be changed. Please consult your network administrator for assistance with these settings. You can make network settings both on the projector and on the computer.
Setting up the Projector Network Environment 1. Connecting the Pro- jector to a Computer Establishing a one-to-one connection from the projector to a computer. Using a commercially available LAN cable (UTP cable, Category 5, cross-over type) you can configure the pro- jector via the computer.
Setting up the Projector Network Environment 2. Setting an IP Address for the Computer The following describes how to make settings ® in Windows XP (Professional or Home Edition). Log on the network using the administrator’s account for the computer. Click “start”, and click “Control Panel”.
