3. Make sure the serial port settings of your computer match the settings specified in the manual. The serial port settings should be set to the following:
   - Signal format: Conforms to RS-232C standard. Parity bit: None

4. Once the connections are made, you can control the projector using RS-232C commands from your computer. Refer to the manual for a list of available commands and their usage.

Note: It is recommended to wait for at least 30 seconds after turning on the power before transmitting commands to the projector.
