Kodak Menu
Kodak’s exclusive Image Manager feature allows you to select 
the image display setting best suited for your specific 
presentation material and projection environment.
.
Image Manager Settings
Photo-PC Setting matches the higher contrast found on a 
standard PC monitor. This option is best for:
 images created on a PC
 images from a KODAK digital camera
 a starting point for composite or S-video inputs.
Photo-Mac Photo matches the lower contrast found on a 
standard MACINTOSH monitor. It is generally used for images 
created on or for a MACINTOSH. This setting also works well 
with a PC if you are using higher than normal contrast PC 
images.
Spreadsheets results in an image with contrast between a PC and 
MACINTOSH monitor. It is generally used for text-rich tables, 
such as financial displays. This setting factors in ambient light, 
subject matter, and personal preferences to deliver the right 
balance of contrast and brightness.
Graphics delivers the maximum brightness and high contrast 
needed to project graphics and text against solid colored 
backgrounds.
Rich Colors results in an image with deep contrast and saturated 
vibrant colors. It is generally used under bright lighting 
conditions. This setting works well to enhance colors of certain 
graphics and it may be useful when images created for a 
MACINTOSH are displayed from a PC.

The lamp hour counter in the Status menu counts the number of 
hours the lamp has been in use. The projector uses a metal halide 
bulb. These types of bulbs deteriorate over time. Replace the 
lamp when the brightness is no longer acceptable. You can order 
new lamp modules from your Kodak dealer. See “Optional 
Accessories” on page 60 for information.
Follow these steps to replace the projection lamp:
 1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord. 
 2. Wait 30 minutes to allow it to cool thoroughly.
 3. Place the projector on its side, then insert a small screwdriver 
or other flat object into the tabs on the lamp module door 
(Figure 22).
