semi-transparent screen, as shown:

You can place the projector approximately 3.1 to 48 feet from the
screen when equipped with the standard lens. Use the figure below as
a guideline to help you determine the projector’s placement, or use the
formulas on page 112 for additional guidance.
Keep in mind that the image size generally increases with distance, but
may vary depending on how you position the zoom ring and whether
you have adjusted the image size with other settings.
