Updated on

This article covers the specific settings we use at Life.Church. We document these settings for consistency and support purposes. This article also covers network settings as well as saving the lens position settings. 

These settings are not endorsed by Epson.  

Please do not modify these settings without Life.Church Central Tech support! 

Set IP settings

IP Info

Use the projector remote and navigate to the following menus: Network, Network Configuration, Wired LAN, and IP Settings. Ensure that DHCP is turned off and set the IP settings given to you by your AVL Support member. Notify your Support member and ask them to reset the network ARP cache.

Network

Verify Network Settings.

The most important setting here is to ensure the wireless features are off. 

Make sure the projector is named appropriately. If it is not, please reach out for help so we give it the correct name. Normally, the projectors ae named along the lines of BAO-Center, KLR-Left, RRN-Right, or MWC Scenic.  

The above image shows the Wireless LAN settings. These should all be set to default. 

  • Main Notifications: Off - immediately click the Set button to save.  

This is the most important setting we need changed.  

Verify these settings; they should be set to default. 

Lastly, select the Apply button on the left below Others. 

Above is a visual example of name and IP address. 

Lens Position

Save the current lens settings

Saving Lens Settings

Epson projectors have the capability to save the lens settings such as position, zoom and shift. This is helpful because if a location reports the projector as misaligned, we can easily restore the setting that aligned correctly when last onsite.  

Back home at the main menu, select the Lens Control box on the right side. 

Be Careful! Do not touch any of the controls on this screen; they are specially set for each screen. 

Once in the menu, you'll be taken to this screen. Select the Memory tab at the bottom. 

Select the Save button. 

Select the row called Memory 1

Select Ok to save the Memory.

If it saves and all is well, it will look like the image above. 

Document

If you notice anything out of the ordinary. Document what you have found and ask one of the Central Tech Team members to take a look.
