Try the remote shortcut only if your model supports it

Some Epson models let you change the projection mode by holding the remote’s Image A/V mute button for about six seconds. This shortcut is model-specific, not a universal Epson control. Check your projector’s guide and confirm the remote has the named button before relying on it. Epson documents the shortcut in guides such as the projector guide for changing projection mode and the EF11 guide.

If the menu labels do not match

Epson projector menus are not identical. Search the Epson support documentation for your exact model and look for “Projection” or “Changing the Projection Mode.” The guides show different menu routes, including Settings > Installation > Projection, Installation > Projection, and Extended > Projection, and may label the upside-down option differently.
