99-00666-20 B0 Using the Slate and its Tools 31
You can select a creative tool on the tool strip (adjacent) or by pressing the tethered pen’s side
switch, and then write or draw on the AirLiner slate’s workspace with digital ink. Digital ink mimics
the appearance of liquid ink on paper. Creative tools include colored pens, highlighters and
stamps.
You can write with digital ink anywhere on your display, and you also can save what you write and
draw as part of the program file you’re working with or as a separate screen capture file. See the
SMART Board software online Help for more information.
NOTE: To work with digital ink, you must first install SMART Board software on your computer
(see page 18).
