Product: Epson iProjection software
Audience: Staff in classrooms with a networked Epson brand projector
Overview
This article will help you wirelessly connect to your Epson projector without using an HDMI cable. Your projector must be networked (connected to the internet) for this software to work. To see if this applies to your projector, contact your SPOC or press the “LAN” button on your projector remote and look for an IP address that starts with “10.x.x.x”. If you see a different number, your projector is not networked and iProjection will not work.
