NOTE:
• No command can be sent or received for 10 to 60 seconds after the lamp starts lighting. Try sending any command after
that period has elapsed.
• When transmitting multiple commands, be sure to wait until 0.5 seconds has elapsed after receiving the response from
the projector before sending the next command. When sending commands without parameters, a colon (:) is not
necessary.
• When the wrong command is sent, the “ER401” or “ER402” status is sent from the projector to the personal computer.
• Projector ID supported on the RS-232C interface is ZZ (ALL) and a group of 01 to 64 and 0A to 0Z.
• The “STX” character code is 02 and the “ETX” character code is 03.
• If a command is sent with a projector ID specified, the projector will return answer back only in the following cases:
If it coincides with the projector ID
If the ID specification is ALL and responding (ID ALL) is on
If the ID specification is Group and responding (ID Group) is on
