You can monitor and control the projector from a computer, via USB.
This is done by connecting the projector and the computer with a USB
cable, and entering communication commands (ESC/VP21 commands).
Before You Begin
To monitor and control the projector with ESC/VP21 commands, the
following preparations must be carried out.
Procedure
A
Install the USB communication driver (EPSON USB-COM
Driver) to your computer. For information about the EPSON
USB-COM Driver, contact your local dealer or the nearest
address provided in the Support and Service Guide.

From the projector's Configuration menu, set Extended -
USB Type B to Wireless Mouse or Page Up/Down.
C
Similarly, set Link 21L to On from Extended menu.
D
Connect the computer's USB port to the projector's
USB(TypeB) port with a USB cable.
From second time on, start from step two.
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.
