How to Aim a Projector Beam Light
Projectors can be found in commercial, educational and domestic environments. They are used primarily for the presentation and communication of ideas, and for displaying multimedia, including television. When setting up the projector for temporary, or permanent installation the projector beam light must be aimed. If the projector is mounted on ceiling, the beam light needs to be inverted so the image isn't upside down.

Position the projector at 90-degrees from the screen to ensure that the aim is square left and right. Move the projector a few degrees left or right if the left or right side of the screen is larger or smaller than the other. Press the top button labeled "Keystone," if there is one, to reduce the upper part of the image, and press the bottom "Keystone" button to reduce the lower part.
