how to install Ricoh PJ WUL5A40ST

• Plan placement: Determine the ideal location based on room size, seating arrangement, and screen placement. For short throw projection, position the projector closer to the screen to achieve a large image without crowding the presenter.
• Choose mounting method: Decide whether you will wall-mount, ceiling-mount, or floor-mount the unit. Ensure you have a sturdy mounting surface and all required hardware for your chosen method.
• Mount securely: Install the mounting bracket or enclosure according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Verify that the projector is level and fixed in place to avoid misalignment during use.

• Configure settings: Set the aspect ratio to 16:10 if not detected automatically, adjust brightness or color modes for the room’s lighting, and select the correct input source. Save any preferred presets for quick future setups.
• Test and finalize: Run a short presentation or video to ensure image quality, connectivity, and audio (if applicable). Confirm lens shift or digital zoom features are set to your preferences and secure all cables to prevent tripping or movement during use.
