Electrical Precautions
Warning Never open any covers on the document camera except as specifically explained in this User's Guide. Never attempt to disassemble or modify the document camera. Refer all repairs to qualified service technicians. Unplug the document camera from the outlet and refer all repairs to qualified service technicians under the following conditions: If smoke, strange odors, or strange noises come from the device If liquid or foreign objects get inside the device If the device has been dropped or the housing has been damaged Continuing to use under these conditions may result in fire or electric shock. Do not attempt to use any adapter other than the AC adapter and power cord included with the device. Using an improper adapter may cause damage, overheating, fire, or electric shock. Be sure to use the AC adapter with the proper voltage indicated in this guide. Use of a different power source may result in fire or electric shock. If the AC adapter, power cord, or document camera is damaged, turn the power off, unplug the AC adapter from the electrical outlet, and contact your local distributor. Using the damaged device may cause fire or electric shock. Do not touch the device, the AC adapter, or the plug with wet hands. This may cause electric shock. Do not use the power cable that is damaged. Fire or electric shock may result. Do not modify the power cable. Do not place heavy objects on top of the power cable. Do not bend, twist or pull the power cable excessively. Keep the power cable away from hot electrical appliances. Take the following precautions when handling the plug. Failure to comply with these precautions could result in fire or electric shock. Do not overload wall outlets, extension cables, or power strips. Do not insert the plug into a dusty outlet. Insert the plug firmly into the outlet. Do not pull the power cable when disconnecting the plug; always be sure to hold the plug when disconnecting it. Do not touch the plug during an electrical storm. Otherwise, you may receive an electric shock.
Caution Turn off the document camera and unplug it after use. Make sure the power is turned off, the plug is disconnected from the outlet, and all cables are disconnected before moving the document camera.
Installation Precautions
Warning If you apply adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening, or if you use lubricants or oils on the document camera, the document camera housing may crack. This could cause serious injury. Do not use adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils or lubricants.
Caution Do not place the document camera in an unstable location, such as on a shaky table or slanted surface. The document camera may drop or tip over, causing personal injury. If you use a table, cart, or stand, make sure it is stable and will not fall over. When using the mounting points under the document camera to secure it to a table, cart, or stand, fasten the bolts securely but do not overtighten them. Do not use adhesives. Do not place the document camera in a poorly ventilated place where heat can accumulate. Do not place the document camera on a carpet, blanket, etc. or cover it during use.
Cleaning Precautions
Warning Use a dry cloth (or, for stubborn stains, a moist cloth that has been wrung dry) for cleaning. Do not use liquid, aerosol cleaners, or solvents such as alcohol, thinner or benzine. Do not place any containers of liquid on top of or near the unit. Do not spill liquid or spray fine mist into the document camera. Liquids entering the document camera may cause malfunction, fire, or electric shock. If you spilled liquid, turn the power off, unplug the AC adapter from the electrical outlet, and contact your local distributor. Using the damaged device may cause fire or electric shock. Do not insert or drop metal, flammable, or foreign objects into the document camera's vents or openings nor leave them nearby. Doing so may result in fire, electric shock, or burns.
Caution Unplug the AC adapter from the outlet before cleaning to prevent electric shock.
Usage Precautions
Caution Do not look into the lens when the LED illumination lamp is on. The bright light can damage your eyes. Do not use excessive force when adjusting the document camera. The document camera may be broken, resulting in personal injury. Do not place heavy objects on document camera, or it may be damaged. Do not try to press the arm flat or fold it backwards, or it may get damaged.
Battery Precautions
Warning Incorrect battery usage may cause batteries to rupture and leak battery fluid, which could result in fire, injury, or corrosion of the remote control. If liquid from a battery gets in your eyes, do not rub your eyes. Wash them well with clean water and contact a doctor immediately. If liquid enters your mouth, rinse immediately with plenty of water and consult a doctor. If liquid from the battery comes in contact with your skin or clothes, wash with water to prevent possible skin damage. Keep batteries out of the reach of children. Batteries are a choking hazard and are very dangerous if swallowed. Prepare two replacement manganese or alkaline AA batteries. Do not use any other kinds of batteries. Insert batteries so that the polarities (+ and -) are correct. Not doing so may cause leakage, overheating, or explosion. Do not use a new battery and an old battery, or different types of batteries at the same time. Doing so may cause leakage, overheating, or explosion. Remove the batteries if you will not be using the remote control for a long period of time. When a battery runs down, take it out of the remote control immediately. If a discharged battery is left inside for a long time, gas emitted from the battery may cause leakage, overheating, explosion, or damage to the remote control. Do not heat batteries or put them into fire or water. When you throw away the batteries, follow your areas regulations regarding disposal or recycling.
Memory Card Precautions
Caution We recommend backing up data on the document camera's internal memory, your USB drive, or SD card to another media. Data may be lost or damaged under the following conditions. If the power cable is disconnected from the document camera while recording or exporting data If the SD card or USB drive is removed from the document camera while recording or exporting data If it is subjected to static electricity or electrical noise If it is used incorrectly If a malfunction occurs or if the device needs to be repaired If damage occurs due to a natural disaster In addition to the situations mentioned above, Epson shall not be responsible for the loss of any data or damage to data even during a warranty period.

The document camera may be set to display an image from your computer. Press the [Source] - [ ] button on the document camera or remote control to display the live camera image.
Select the correct source on your projector. The source refers to the port on the projector to which you've connected the video cable. If you're using a VGA cable, the source may be called something like "Computer" or "PC".
Make sure your projector is turned on and not in sleep mode. Make sure its picture has not been "muted" or turned off.
If you made a USB connection, the document camera's USB Mode setting may be set to Mass Storage. You need to change this setting to Application. First disconnect the USB cable, then reconnect to the projector using a VGA cable, composite video cable, or HDMI cable. Press the [Menu] button and select Function > USB Mode, then change the setting to Application. Now you can use the USB cable to display the image.
Image Quality Problems The image is fuzzy or out of focus
The document camera needs hard edges or sharp lines in the image to be able to focus properly. If the image has only soft edges, try placing a different document under the camera lens while adjusting the focus. Or focus the image manually with the Focus adjustment in the Image menu. s p.49
Make sure the lens is at least 10 cm (4 inches) away from the object you're viewing.
If you're using a projector to display the image, check its focus.
The image brightness or color isn't correct
To illuminate your document, slide the lamp switch on the side of the camera head.
Press the [ ] or [ ] button to increase or decrease image brightness. Set the White Balance setting to Auto to adjust the color automatically. s p.49 If the color is still not correct, choose the setting for the type of lighting you're presenting under (Cloudy, Daylight, Fluorescent, or Incandescent).
If the document camera was used with a microscope, be sure to turn the Microscope setting off when you return to displaying ordinary documents. s p.49
Other image problems
If the image is stretched or has black bars, you may need to change the Output Resolution in the Function menu.
a If you think some settings may have been changed, you can use the Reset option to return all the image settings back to their standard values except the Output Resolution setting. s p.50
Problems and Solutions 66
Problems Using an SD Card Certain images don't appear
If you use your computer to copy images to the document camera's internal memory or an SD card, you need to make sure their format is correct:
Images must be DCF-compliant JPEG files to be displayed, such as from a digital camera. Avoid editing your images, as this may change their format and prevent them from being displayed.
Images must be named using the format ABCD1234.JPG, where ABCD is any combination of upper- or lowercase letters and 1234 is any combination of numbers. For example: Pict0001, Pict0002, etc.
Images must be placed in a folder named DCIM\123ABCDE, where 123 is any combination of numbers and ABCDE is any combination of upper- or lowercase letters. If this folder structure doesn't exist, first create a folder named DCIM, then create a folder within it with the desired name (for example, 100EPSON).
Image files don't have the correct time stamp
The document camera does not have a built-in clock. Therefore, when you view captured image files from your computer, they won't show the actual time they were created.
Problems Using a USB Drive Images stored on a USB drive are not displayed
The document camera's USB Mode setting may be set to Mass Storage. Press the [Menu] button and select Function > USB Mode, then change the setting to Application.
There are no images stored on the USB drive
The document camera's USB Mode setting may be set to Mass Storage. Press the [Menu] button and select Function > USB Mode, then change the setting to Application.
Image files don't have the correct time stamp
The document camera does not have a built-in clock. Therefore, when you view captured image files from your computer, they won't show the actual time they were created.
Problems Connecting a Laptop If you've connected a laptop computer (s p.22) but the image doesn't appear on the screen, check the following:
Windows: Hold down the Fn key and press the function key (such as or CRT/LCD) that lets you display on an external monitor. On most systems, the or CRT/LCD key lets you toggle between the LCD screen and the projector, or display on both at the same time. Check your monitor settings to make sure both the LCD screen and the external monitor port are enabled. From the Control Panel, open the Display utility. Click the Settings tab, then click Advanced. The method for adjusting the settings varies by brand; you may need to click a Monitor tab, then make sure the external monitor port is set as your primary display and/or enabled. See your computer's documentation or online help for details.
Mac OS X: From the Apple menu, select System Preferences, then click Display or Displays. Select VGA Display or Color LCD, click Arrangement or Arrange, and make sure Mirror Displays is checked.
Problems Using the Document Camera Software The buttons on the document camera don't work with the software
When you installed the software, the Button Manager and TWAIN Driver for Epson Document camera (Windows only) weren't installed. Reinstall all
