1. Introduction This projector can be controlled by connecting a personal computer with RS-232C terminal. In addition, by connecting multiple projectors to each other in a daisy chain configuration, you can control each projector from one personal computer.

• Example of ID setting (When Group A, which performs multi-projection with two projectors, and Group B, which performs multi-projection with three projectors, are connected.) Multi-projection Group A Projector 1 PROJECTOR ID GROUP ID Projector 2 PROJECTOR ID GROUP ID : 01 :A : 02 :A Multi-projection Group B Projector 3 PROJECTOR ID GROUP ID Projector 4 PROJECTOR ID GROUP ID : 03 :B : 04 :B Projector 5 PROJECTOR ID GROUP ID : 05 :B You can assign the ID code to the control command.

2. Control command configuration The command consists of the address code, ID code, function code, data code, ACK/NAK, and end code. The length of the command varies among the functions. Address code ‘30h’ ‘30h’ 00 ASCII code Character ID code ‘3Bh’ ID ‘3Bh’ ;ID; Function code Function Function Data code Data Data ACK/NAK ‘3Ah’ ‘4Eh’ :N End code ‘0Dh’ [Address code] Fixed to 00.

• The projector may not receive a command when the splash screen is being displayed immediately after turning on the power. Use command “00r10” to cancel the splash screen. • While using the LAN terminals, the LAN functions take precedence. • For the LAN terminals, the same commands as those for connecting with the TCP/IP (port number 63007) are available. Note, however, that the response becomes slightly slower than when using the RS-232C terminals. For the use of LAN terminals, refer to “4.

[RS-232C control flowchart] START Sending out command No NAK returned No response for 1 second or longer Awaiting response from projector NAK returned Command is sent successfully. Command is executed successfully. Checking execution of command (sending out check command) Command is sent successfully. Command execution fails. Check the following. • The ID code is out of the valid range. • Check that the function code is correct. • Check that the data code is correct.

4. Execution procedure of RS-232C commands via LAN • When you use the LAN function, set the STANDBY MODE to STANDARD or LAN. • When you execute RS-232C commands via LAN, check that the CONTROL SYSTEM in the NETWORK menu is set to STANDARD. • You can change the certification password using the NETWORK PASSWORD in the NETWORK menu. The default password is “admin.” • You can skip the certification process by setting the NETWORK CERTIFICATION in the NETWORK menu to OFF.

5. Command list 5.1 General control commands The general control commands are used for the basic operation setting of this projector. They may not be executed while the signals are changed. The general control commands have no data codes. (When the commands for input select are sent while the splash screen is being displayed, the splash screen is only canceled.

5.7 Password lock commands The password lock commands control the password lock. The password lock enabling or disabling command is sent with a 4 to 8-digit password comprised of any figures 1 to 4 added to the end of the data code. When the password lock is enabled or disabled successfully, the projector sends a return command comprising the data code, password, and “1” at the end. When enabling or disabling the password lock fails, it sends a return command with “0” at the end.
