Transferring Settings From a Computer

You can copy menu settings from one projector to another of the same model by connecting the computer and projector with a USB cable.

  • You can use this batch setup method with the following operating system versions:

    • Windows 10 and later

    • macOS 10.13.x and later

  • You can also use this batch setup method from the projector's menu.

  1. Disconnect the power cord from the projector, and check that all of the projector's indicators have turned off.

  2. Connect a USB cable to the computer's USB port and to the projector's USB-B port.

  3. Hold down the Esc button on the remote control or the control panel and connect the power cord to the projector.

  4. When all of the projector's indicators turn on, release the Esc button.

    The computer recognizes the projector as a removable disk.

  5. Open the removable disk icon or folder, and save the batch setup file to the computer.

    The file name for the batch setup file is PJCONFDATA.bin. If you need to change the file name, add text after PJCONFDATA using only alphanumeric characters. If you change the PJCONFDATA section of the file name, the projector may not be able to recognize the file correctly.

  6. Eject the USB device (Windows) or drag the removable disk icon to the Trash (Mac).

  7. Disconnect the USB cable.

    The projector turns off.

  8. Disconnect the power cord from the projector to which you want to copy settings, and check that all of the projector's indicators have turned off.

  9. Connect the USB cable to the computer's USB port and to the projector's USB-B port.

  10. Hold down the Menu button on the remote control or the control panel and connect the power cord to the projector.

  11. When all of the projector's indicators turn on, release the Menu button.

    The computer recognizes the projector as a removable disk.

  12. Copy the batch setup file (PJCONFDATA.bin) that you saved to your computer to the top level folder of the removable disk.

    Do not copy any files or folders other than the batch setup file to the removable disk.

  13. Eject the USB device (Windows) or drag the removable disk icon to the Trash (Mac).

  14. Disconnect the USB cable.

    When all of the indicators start flashing, the settings are being written. When writing is finished, the projector turns off.
    Caution

    Do not disconnect the power cord from the projector while the file is being written. If the power cord is disconnected, the projector may not start correctly.
