3| INTRODUCING YOUR SMART BOARD V280 INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD
How Does Your SMART Board Interactive
Whiteboard Work?
Your SMART Board interactive whiteboard and pen function as input devices
for your computer, just like a mouse, enabling you to work in any application available
on your connected computer from your interactive whiteboard’s screen.
When you connect your interactive whiteboard to a computer running SMART product
drivers, the following actions occur:
• The computer runs an
application, and then sends
the image to your projector.
• Your projector casts the image
onto your interactive whiteboard.
• Your interactive whiteboard acts
both as your computer’s monitor
and its input devices, i.e., mouse
and keyboard, enabling you
to control any application
by touching the screen with
your pen.
When you install SMART Notebook software on your computer, a Floating Tools
toolbar floats over your desktop and any open application. By default, SMART
Notebook interprets your pen presses as left mouse clicks. When you select a pen
button on the Floating Tools toolbar, SMART Notebook interacts with the computer's
mouse driver to change the pointer into a colored pen, which enables you to write over
your desktop or any open application with digital ink. You can change pen settings,
including the transparency, color or width of the ink. You can then save your notes
to a SMART Notebook file, or directly into any Ink Aware application. You can also
select and customize other tools, such as the width of the eraser tool you use to erase
your notes.
