size of the image, but the size can also vary depending on the aspect ratio
(image shape), how you zoom into the image, and whether you've adjusted
other image settings. Depending on the image settings you've chosen, you
can place the projector anywhere from 33 to 407 inches (84 to 1035 cm)
from the screen.
Use the tables in the User's Guide, or the Image Size or Projection Distance
calculator on the Multimedia Projectors page on Epson's website to help
you determine the proper projection distance.
