Setting Up for Using ESC/VP21 Commands
The first time you control and monitor the projector using ESC/VP21
commands, you must install the USB communication driver on your
computer and set up the projector. You do not need to install the driver the
next time.
a
Install the USB communication driver (EPSON USB-COM Driver) on
your computer. For information about the EPSON USB-COM Driver,
contact Epson.
b
Set the USB Type B setting to Link 21L in the projector's Extended
menu.
c
Connect your computer to the projector's USB-B port using a USB
cable.
You can start from step 2 the next time you use the commands.
ESC/VP21 Command List
When the power ON command is transmitted to the projector, the power
turns on and it enters warm-up mode. When the projector's power has turned
on, a colon ":" (3Ah) is returned.
When a command is input, the projector executes the command and returns a
":", and then accepts the next command.
If the command being processed terminates abnormally, an error message is
output and a ":" is returned.
