Projector Features and Main Functions
Features Common to All Models
z Mercury-free Hybrid Light Source
A CASIO-original laser and LED hybrid light source delivers high luminance from 2,500 to 3,000
lumens. This projector does not use a mercury lamp, making it environmentally friendly.
z A wide selection of input sources
Analog RGB, composite video, S-video (XJ-M Series only), component video (Y·Cb·Cr, Y·Pb·Pr),
and HDMI input sources are supported.
z Intelligent Brightness Control function (Eco Mode)
The projector senses surrounding light levels and adjusts projection brightness automatically as
required for efficient low-power operation. (Requires “Eco Mode” setting to be set to “On (Auto)”.)
z Direct Power On
The projector can be configured to turn on automatically and start projecting as soon as it is
plugged into a power outlet.
z Presentation Timer
The presentation timer is a countdown timer that shows the amount of presentation timing
remaining on the projection screen.
z Firmware update and user logo image data transfer
Firmware (software in the projector flash ROM) updates and user logo images can be transferred to
the projector from a computer as required.
USB Model Features
USB Models: XJ-A147, XJ-A247, XJ-A257, XJ-M146, XJ-M156, XJ-M246, XJ-M256
z Projection of image, movie, and other types of files (File Viewer)
The projector’s File Viewer can be used to open and project the following types of files located in
projector internal memory or on a USB flash drive connected to the projector: image files (JPG,
PNG, GIF, BMP), movie files (AVI, MOV, MP4), presentation files (ECA, PtG), PDF files.
z Projection of computer screen contents over a USB connection (USB Display)
Connecting the projector to a computer with a USB cable enables projection of the computer’s
screen contents. This supports projection of screen contents of even small computers that have
only a USB port, but no RGB, HDMI, or other type of video output terminal.
z Graphic Scientific Function Calculator Connection
Certain CASIO graphic scientific calculator models can be connected directly to the projector’s
USB-A port for projection of the calculator screen contents.
z Projection of images from a computer or smart device over a wireless LAN connection*
The projector is configured as an access point, a computer or smart device can connect directly to
it over a wireless LAN connection. Or a computer or smart device can connect over a wireless LAN
connection via an existing wireless LAN access point. Both screen output and audio output are
supported while a computer is connected.
z Projector control using a computer or smart device over a wireless LAN connection*
The projector can be controlled from a computer or smart device connected to it over a wireless
LAN connection.
* For details about wireless LAN connection, see the separate “Network Function Guide”.

Projector control operations can be performed remotely using the web browser of a computer
connected via a wired LAN connection.
* For details about LAN connection, see the separate “Network Function Guide”.
• Separately available 3D glasses (YA-G30) are required in order to view a projected 3D image in
3D. Also, separately available special software (CASIO 3D Converter) is required to project a 3D
image with the projector when a computer (analog RGB) is the input source.
• 3D image projection is not supported via an HDMI connection or component video connection.

Getting Ready
This section explains how to select a location for the projector, how to connect its cables, and how to
perform other operations required before using it.
Locate the projector on a desk, table, or stand that is firm and level. Make sure that you allow
sufficient space around the sides and back of the projector for proper ventilation. The illustrations
below show how the projector should be oriented relative to the screen for optimum projection.
Important!
z With an XJ-A Series Projector, the allowable vertical angle range when setting up is ±30
degrees (Figure 1). Make sure the projector is within this range. Setting up the projector
outside this vertical angle range can shorten lamp life. There is no limit on the horizontal angle
of the projector (Figure 2).
z With an XJ-M Series Projector, there is no limit on the vertical and horizontal setup angle.
Setting Up the Projector
XJ-A242/XJ-A247/XJ-A252/XJ-A257/
XJ-M241/XJ-M246/XJ-M251/XJ-M256
Other models
Position the projector so the lens side is at the edge of the table,
etc.
Make sure the projector is at a right angle to the screen.

Setup Precautions
z Use a conveniently located power outlet that you can reach easily when you need to unplug the
projector.
z Do not located any objected within 30 cm (11.8 inches) around the projector. Particular care is
required to keep objects away from projector air intake and exhaust openings.
z Airflow from air conditioning equipment can blow the heat being exhausted from the area around
the projector’s lens in a way that causes heat ripples to appear in the projected image. If this
happens, adjust the airflow of the air conditioning equipment or move the projector.

Horizontal Flipping in the 3D Input Mode
In side-by-side 3D, a full frame consists of two halves on the left and right for each eye. In rare cases,
the left and right images may be reversed, which causes a loss of 3D depth. If this happens, try using
the following procedure to swap the left and right images with each other.
To swap the left and right images
In the 3D input mode, press the [ENTER] key.
