Projecting Your Computer’s Screen Image from the Projector
via the USB Cable (USB Display)
Using a commercially available USB cable (compatible with USB 2.0 specifications) to connect the computer with the
projector allows you to send your computer screen image to the projector for displaying. Power On/Off and source
selection of the projector can be done from your computer without connecting a computer cable (VGA).
NOTE:
• To make USB DISPLAY available on Windows XP, the Windows user account must have “Administrator” privilege.
• USB Display uses functions of Image Express Utility Lite contained on NEC Projector CD-ROM (

).
Starting USB Display, however, will not install Image Express Utility Lite on your computer. This is because USB Display executes
the projector’s program only.
• USB Display will not work in [POWER-SAVING] of [STANDBY MODE]. (
