They generate crisp, clear images using Digital Light ProcessingTM (DLP) technology, and feature an M1-DA connector for easy, built-in digital/analog and USB connectivity. They are easy to connect, easy to use, easy to transport, and easy to maintain. The LP340 has native SVGA 800x600 resolution, the LP350 has XGA 1024x768 resolution. The user interfaces of the two products are identical; information in this user's guide applies to both products. Image Resolution LP340 NOTE: The LP340 automatically expands 640x480 images to 800x600. You can display these images at their native resolutions by turning off the Auto Resize feature. See "Resize" on page 24 for LP350 The SVGA resolution of the LP340's projected image is 800x600. The projector cannot compress screen resolutions above 1024x768. If your computer's screen resolution is higher than 1024x768, reset it to a lower resolution before you connect the projector. The XGA resolution of the LP350's projected image is 1024x768. The projector cannot compress screen resolutions above 1024x768. If your computer's screen resolution is higher than 1024x768, reset it to a lower resolution before you connect the projector. more information.

You can select a default source to determine which source the projector examines first during power-up for active video; see "Default Source" on page 28. · Use the volume buttons to adjust the volume. 5 Turn on your computer. · The computer image should display on the projection screen. If a video source is active, press the source button on the keypad or the computer button on the remote to display NOTE: With some computers, the order in which you power up the equipment is very important. Most computers should be turned on last, after all other peripherals have been turned on. Refer to your computer's documentation to determine the correct order. your computer's image. Make sure your laptop's external video port is activated; see "Portable and Laptop Activation Chart" on page 44 for details. · If necessary, make adjustments to the image using the pro- jector's on-screen menus. To open the menus, press the menu button on the keypad or remote, then select the Display or Image menu. For more information about the menus, see page 20. 13 S e t t i n g u p t h e P r o j e c t o r Turning Off the Projector If you want to turn off the projector for a short period of time, press the standby button on the keypad or remote. This blanks the screen for fifteen minutes, but keeps the projector running. (You can change the amount of time the projector stays in standby mode; see "Standby Time" on page 27 for details.) After 15 minutes, the lamp goes out (the projector keeps running). To exit standby mode, press the standby button again. (It may take several seconds for the projection lamp to reach full power and project the image again.) To completely power off the projector, press the Power button. If you want to turn the lamp back on immediately, you must allow about a minute for the lamp to cool. The lamp won't light if it's too hot. NOTE: To maximize lamp life, allow the projector to run for at least five minutes before turning it off. 14 USING THE PROJECTOR This section describes how to use and make adjustments to the projector. It also provides a reference to the keypad and remote buttons and the options available from the on-screen menus. Basic Image Adjustment 1 Make sure you have powered up your equipment in the right order (page 13). 2 If the image doesn't display completely, zoom the image (page 17), adjust the height of the projector (page 17) or center the image by adjusting its horizontal or vertical position (page 26). Be sure the projector is at a 90 degree angle to the screen. 3 If the image is out of focus, rotate the focus lens (page 17). 4 If the image appears to shimmer or if it has blurry vertical bars after you have adjusted the focus, turn Auto Image (page 24) off and then back on to reset the automatic sync and tracking. If that doesn't clear up the image, turn Auto Image off and adjust the sync (page 25) and/or the tracking (page 25) manually. 5 If the colors don't look right, adjust the brightness (page 21). Using the Remote Control To control the computer's mouse from the projector's remote or keypad, you must connect the USB mouse connector on the computer cable to the computer. See page 10 for details. The projector ships with a remote that has four function buttons, a disk mouse and two mouse buttons, one on the top of the remote and one on the bottom. Point the remote control at the projection screen or at the front of the projector (not at the computer). The range for optimum operation is about 25 feet. If you point the remote at the projection screen, the distance to the screen and back to the projector must be less than or equal to 25 feet. For best results, point the remote directly at the projector. 15 U s i n g t h e P r o j e c t o r disk mouse right mouse button left mouse button (on underside of remote) FIGURE 9 Remote control NOTE: If the remote is inactive for several minutes, it "sleeps" to conserve battery life. Press any button except the disk mouse to re-activate the remote. Press anywhere on the edge of the disk mouse to move the cursor on the screen. You can move the cursor at any angle by pressing the corresponding edge of the disk. The mouse button on the top of the remote simulates your computer's right mouse button; the button on the bottom simulates your computer's left mouse button. See "Using the Keypad and Remote Buttons" starting on page 18 for a description of the four function buttons. If you are creating presentations in Microsoft® PowerPoint®, you can use the remote's mouse buttons to navigate through your presentation while in Slide Show mode. To configure PowerPoint for this, choose Options from the Tools menu, click the View Tab, de-select the "Popup Menu on Right Mouse Click" option in the Slide Show section, then click OK. Then, when you're in PowerPoint's Slide Show mode, a left click advances to the next slide and a right click returns to the previous slide (other PowerPoint modes are not affected). 16 Adjusting the Projector To focus the image, rotate the focus ring (Figure 10) until the image is clear. To zoom the image, rotate the zoom ring. This adjusts the image size without affecting focus. zoom ring focus ring FIGURE 10 Focus ring and zoom ring The projector is equipped with a self-locking, quick-release elevator foot and button and a leveling knob (Figure 11).
