Tasks that can be done using EasyMP Monitor
• Mail notification function settings
EasyMP Monitor lets you carry out operations such as checking the
statuses of multiple EPSON projectors that are connected to a network at
a computer monitor, and controlling the projectors from the computer.
Following are brief descriptions of the monitoring and control functions
that can be carried out using EasyMP Monitor.
You can set e-mail addresses to which notifications are sent if a status
requiring attention, such as a problem, occurs with a projector that has
been registered.
• Registering projectors for monitoring and control
Projectors on the network can be searched for automatically, and you
can then select projectors to be registered from the projectors that are
detected.
You can enter the IP addresses for target projectors to register them.
• Registered projectors can also be assigned to groups so that they can
be monitored and controlled in groups.
• Monitoring the statuses of registered projectors
The power status (ON/OFF) for projectors and problems or warnings
requiring attention can be checked visually by means of icons.
You can select groups of projectors or a single projector that you are
interested in, and then check the cumulative lamp operating time or the
details of information such as input sources, problems, and warnings
for these projectors.
To enable projectors to be monitored and controlled even when they are in

• Set Network Monitoring to On.
Projectors can be selected in groups or as single projectors, and you can
then carry out operations for the selected projectors such as turning the
power on and off and switching their input sources.
Web control functions can be used to change the settings in the
projector's configuration menu.
