Changing Settings Using a Web Browser (Web
Control)
By using the Web browser of a computer connected to the projector on a
network, you can make settings and control the projector. This function
allows you to perform setup and control operations remotely. In addition,
since you can use the computer's keyboard, entering characters required for
the setup is easier.
Use Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later as the Web browser. If using a
Mac OS X, use Safari.

If you set Standby Mode to Communication On, you can use the
Web browser to make settings and perform control even if the
projector is in standby mode (when the power is off).
