Adjusting the projected image
If your projector isn’t installed in a fixed location, you can correct many image problems by shifting your
projector or adjusting its zoom lens. Optimally, you should have a margin of approximately 3/8" (1 cm) on
both the right and left sides of the screen. You can then adjust the zoom lens to display a focused image.
NOTES
l Don’t adjust the image size and geometry based on your projector’s splash screen. The splash
screen image is much smaller than the computer’s projected image. Before you adjust the projected
image, make sure that you set the computer’s resolution and refresh rate. See Configuring your
computer settings on page31.
l Complete the following steps only as required.
To adjust the projected image
1. If the left and right edges of the projected image aren’t parallel, raise or lower your projector at the
front or back until the edges are parallel.
2. If the top and bottom edges aren’t parallel, turn the projector slowly until the edges are parallel.
