14 Setting Up the Projector
Positioning the Projector
If you’re setting up the projector yourself and it isn’t already installed
in the classroom or conference room you’re using, you’ll probably
want to place it on a table in front of the screen, as shown on
page 15.low
This lets you stand in the front of the room, face the audience, and
remain close enough to the equipment to be able to control it. Try to
leave as much space as possible between the projector and the screen to
get a good-size image.
Use the figure below to help you determine placement. Image size
increases with distance, but can vary depending on how you position
the zoom ring and whether you’ve adjusted the image with other
settings.
Also keep these considerations in mind:
■ Place the projector on a sturdy, level surface.
■ Make sure there is plenty of space for ventilation around and
under the projector. Do not set the projector on top of loose
papers that could block the vents under the projector.
■ Make sure the projector is within 10 feet of a grounded electrical
outlet or extension cord.
note
You can mount the projector
on the ceiling, or place it
behind a translucent screen
for rear projection. See
page 111 for details.
