3-1. Connection
Communication is enabled by the use of a D-Sub 9 Pin cross (reverse) cable.
The pin assignment of D-Sub 9 Pin and D-Sub 25 Pin is as follows.

Pin numbers indicated as D-Sub 25 Pin are not used.
Assured cable length: 15 m (However, assurance may not be applicable for some cables.)
The software for controlling the projector from a PC is intended for performing transmission and recep-
tion for only the TxD and RxD lines.
Therefore the handshake normally performed by RS-232C is not necessary.
3-2. Communication 
Specifi cations
.  Full duplex communication channels (Flow control not performed.)
.  Start-stop synchronism system
.  Baud rate: 38.4 kbps (bits per second)
.  The bit confi guration is defi ned as follows.
