Adjusting offset
Always adjust offset before adjusting boresight. For the best optical performance and minimal keystone, use offsets instead of aiming at the center of
the image, in off

-axis installations. Avoid extreme tilts or offsets. Corner vignettes on a white test
pattern indicate extreme offset that should be avoided using mechanical alignment.
1. Project an image with the primary lens.
2.
 Select a framing test pattern.
3. Select  LENS OFFSET .
4. Use the arrows to adjust the offset to display a square image on the screen, with minimal projector aiming error.
5. To exit to the home page, select  Back.

3. To confirm the reset, select  OK.
Aligning the image with lens zoom and focus
Ensure that the image reflected from the digital micromirror device (DMD) is par allel and centered
with the lens and screen.
1. Display an image or test pattern that can be used to analyze image focus and geometry.
2. Select  ZOOM.
3. Use the up and down arrows to zoom in or out of the image.
4. To exit, select  Back.
