Epson 8100i - Manual (Page 8)

2 Welcome
You can operate the projector from your computer or you can control
it with a hand-held remote control unit. The buttons on the remote
control allow you to turn the projector on and off, zoom in on your
image, adjust the volume, mute the sound and image, switch from one
computer or video source to another, and access the projector’s
built-in menus. If you connect the main cable and mouse cable, you
can use the remote control as a wireless mouse; then you can continue
your presentation as you move around the room.

IBM
® compatible PCs and laptops, Apple ® Macintosh, ® Power
Macintosh ™ series (including G3 and G4 systems), PowerBook ®
