EPSON PROJECTOR - ERROR MESSAGE

[Koldov]

Probably a rare one as a quick search on the internet yielded few results (and even less answers)...

 

Every minute or so, it pops up saying something along the lines of:

 

“This function is not available; switch from Quick Corner to H/V Keystone to perform this task.”

 

But it doesn't have any information about what the 'task' is that it is trying to perform

 

Now, pretty much all of our projectors are set-up with 'Quick Corners' in fact what a absolute winning function it is, I don't know if I could ever go back to 'Keystone' and I don't know how we ever managed before...

 

I found one link to a question that was pretty much exactly the same issue, but didn't have any useful information...

 

https://www.reddit.com/r/projectors/comments/q1kprj/why_does_this_message_keep_coming_up/

 

But when I set it to 'Keystone' it randomly jumps the screen a fraction at the same interval as the original message. So I think it is trying to H 'auto' adjust but even with this setting off, when going back to Quick Corners another very similar message comes up about V 'auto' adjust... again turning that setting off and going back to 'Quick Corners' doesn't stop the error message! I reset everything and turned off what I could, the 'auto' keystone setting gets greyed out when the image is flipped for ceiling projection so can't be 'turned off'. Although it's not the latest up-to-date model, it's modern enough to have so many 'image' options I end up going round in circles, unlike the old ones that literally had 'Keystone' and a manual focus ring and nothing else so you actually had to move the projector to get a decent image....

 

So I reluctantly set it to 'Keystone' and then it took about 10 minutes to try and get a half-decent image to even fit correctly on the whiteboard and not look too distorted (even then there is strip missing at the side that I just couldn't get to display).

 

Anyone ever seen this message and know how to actually fix it?

Is there a slider on the projector for sideways keystone correction? Its near the lens on the top (Bottom if on ceiling).

 

My guess would be that something has happened to that. Maybe try running it side to side a few times and then putting it back to center.

 

Fully agree with you on Quick corner. I wouldn't buy a projector anymore if it didn't have either this or H + V Lens shift.

Never seen that message but sounds like some stuck buttons on the remote or as Chris has mentioned the slider may be playing up.

Teacher came to the office complaining, so had to revisit this today as the half-term projector clean seems to have kicked off this message being displayed again!

 

Something in the back of my mind was telling me that I'd 'fixed' it before and I seemed to remember the answer was the 'keystone slider'...

 

Guessed I'd posted about it on here and got the answer, but dismayed I hadn't given thanks at the time!

 

Please forgive me, I have now righted that wrong (and fixed the projector... again).

Glad it's working again:D
