Quick Reference Hardware Basics for Front Projection SMART Board Interactive Whiteboards The SMART Board™ interactive whiteboard is touch sensitive and operates as part of a system that includes a computer and a projector. • The computer sends an image of an application to the projector. • The projector casts the image onto the interactive whiteboard. • The interactive whiteboard acts as both the monitor and input device, allowing you to control any application by touching the screen.
It may help you to think of your interactive whiteboard the same way you think of your mouse or keyboard – it is an input device that enables you to control applications on your computer. Setup instructions depend on the model of SMART Board interactive whiteboard. Specific instructions on how to setup your SMART Board can be found at www.smarttech.com/ support/product/index.asp.
The SMART Pen Tray The SMART Pen Tray consists of four color-coded slots for pens and one slot for the eraser. Each slot has an optical sensor to identify when the pens and eraser have been picked up. You can write with the pen or with your finger, as long as the pen slot is empty. The technology in the pen tray is smart enough to know which tool was removed from its slot most recently. If you remove the eraser from its slot while you are still holding a pen, the pen tray will assume you want to erase. The lights above the tool slots indicate which tool was removed last. TIP:
If someone accidentally takes a pen or the eraser home, simply cover the optical sensor with a pen lid or a sticky note to continue using your interactive whiteboard until the tool is returned.

The Pen-Tray Buttons The pen tray has at least two pen-tray buttons. One button is used to launch the On-Screen Keyboard. The second button is used to make your next touch on the interactive whiteboard a right-click. Some interactive whiteboards have a third button; this button is used to quickly access the Help Center.
Pen tray buttons Pen tray buttons
The Pens The SMART Board interactive whiteboard comes with four Whisper-tip™ pens (black, red, green and blue) and one eraser. Although you do not need to use the pens to write on you interactive whiteboard, the pens do make writing more intuitive. Pick up a pen from the pen tray and write on the SMART Board. To erase your digital ink, remove the eraser from the pen tray and move it in a smooth motion over your notes. Your notes will disappear. TIP: To
clear a large area of digital ink, draw a circle around the area you want to erase with the eraser and tap once inside that area. All handwritten notes inside that circle will disappear.
The Ready Light The Ready Light indicates the status of your interactive whiteboard. Depending on the model of the SMART Board interactive whiteboard you are using, the Ready Light is located either on the right side of the pen tray or the lower-right of the frame bezel.
Ready Light on right side of pen tray
Ready Light on lower-right of frame bezel
If the Ready Light is a solid green, your system is functioning properly. If the Ready Light is flashing or is a color other than green for an extended period of time, you should check the User’s Guide that came with your SMART Board interactive whiteboard for guidance on troubleshooting. NOTE: After you turn on your computer, the Ready Light will be red while the SMART Board interactive whiteboard and the computer are establishing communication.

Quick Reference SMART Board Interactive Whiteboard Basics This Quick Reference Guide provides an overview of the information you need to begin using a SMART Board™ interactive whiteboard. Before you begin, make sure the appropriate SMART Board software has been loaded on your computer. For more information, refer to your SMART Board User’s Guide.
Starting the SMART Board Interactive Whiteboard 1 Ensure the interactive whiteboard and projector are connected to the computer. 2 Turn on the projector, then the computer. The interactive whiteboard draws power from the computer and will be activated automatically. The Ready Light, indicating the status of your interactive whiteboard, will be red while the SMART Board and the computer are establishing communication. NOTE: Depending on the model of the SMART Board interactive whiteboard you are using, the Ready Light is either located on the right side of the SMART Pen Tray or the lower-right of the frame bezel.
Ready Light on right side of pen tray
Ready Light on lowerright of frame bezel
3 Log on, if required, using the computer keyboard. When the Ready Light on the pen tray turns green, the computer and the interactive whiteboard have established communication. The SMART Board is now touch sensitive, and you can open any application available on the connected computer.
Orienting the SMART Board Interactive Whiteboard You should orient your interactive whiteboard when setting it up, or if either the projector or interactive whiteboard has been moved since you last used it. 1 Press and hold the Keyboard and the Right Mouse button simultaneously until the Orientation screen appears.
Pen tray buttons Pen tray buttons

Your Finger Is Your Mouse A press on a SMART Board interactive whiteboard is the same as a left-click with a mouse. To open an application such as an Internet browser, double-press the application icon with your finger.
Writing and Erasing Notes To write over your desktop image or application, pick up a pen from the pen tray and write on the interactive whiteboard. To write in a different color, pick up a different-colored pen. The color recognition comes from the optical sensors in the pen-tray slots and not from the pens themselves. Pick up the eraser from the pen tray and move it in a smooth motion over your notes to erase them. NOTE: The interactive whiteboard only recognizes the last tool removed from the pen tray. For example, if you already have a pen in your hand when you pick up the eraser, the interactive whiteboard will assume you want to erase, regardless of whether you touch the board with a pen or an eraser. To avoid confusion, return each tool to its proper slot when you have finished using it.
Saving Your Notes You can easily save the notes you have written on your interactive whiteboard for future reference. 1 Pick up a pen from the pen tray. The Digital Ink Layer border will appear on your screen. To save what you write on the board when this layer is in place, press the Capture writing button in the top right hand corner of the border. An image of the screen including your writing will be saved in a new Notebook file..

NOTE: If the Digital Ink Layer border does not appear when you pick up a pen, you may be working in an Ink Aware application (e.g., Microsoft Word). If the application is Ink Aware, buttons will be available in the application’s own toolbar for capturing writing.
2 If you wish to capture a specific area of your screen, press the SMART Board™ icon located in the Windows Notification Area at the bottom right of your screen, and choose Other SMART Tools > Screen Capture Toolbar... from the menu to launch the Screen Capture toolbar

3 To save a selected area of your notes, press the Area Capture button on the Screen Capture toolbar. Press the interactive whiteboard and, without releasing pressure, drag the selection box using your finger to outline the area you want to capture. NOTE:
The Screen Capture button in Ink Aware applications will capture an image of your entire screen.
4 Notebook™ software will open automatically, and your capture will be saved to a new Notebook page. 5 Select the unsaved Notebook file from the taskbar to view your captured image in Notebook software.

These thumbnail images, or Gallery items, are organized into four content types: Related Folders, Pictures and Backgrounds, Interactive and Multimedia, and Notebook Files and Pages. If you search for the keyword triangle for example, Related Folders will display all Gallery items associated with the keyword, providing you with additional content to help supplement learning activities. Double-press a folder thumbnail to view its contents. The thumbnails displayed in Pictures and Backgrounds include clip art and photographs. Drag an item to the work area to use as part of a lesson or to modify its properties. Interactive and Multimedia contains three types of content: Flash files, video files and objects with attached sounds. Items from this section of the Gallery are used to add rich media content to a lesson or presentation and engage reluctant learners with multimedia elements. Additional content can be found in Notebook Files and Pages. Notebook file thumbnails are recognized by the coil binding on the left of the thumbnail image. Drag the thumbnail image to the work area to add a page or series of pages, such as a complete lesson activity, to your existing content. Notebook files will be inserted directly after the active Notebook page. Notebook page thumbnails are identified by the folded edge in the topright corner. Drag the thumbnail image to the work area to create a new page with a background for students to write over, such as an exercise in identifying shapes.

Quick Reference Hardware Basics for Front Projection SMART Board Interactive Whiteboards The SMART Board™ interactive whiteboard is touch sensitive and operates as part of a system that includes a computer and a projector. • The computer sends an image of an application to the projector. • The projector casts the image onto the interactive whiteboard. • The interactive whiteboard acts as both the monitor and input device, allowing you to control any application by touching the screen.
It may help you to think of your interactive whiteboard the same way you think of your mouse or keyboard – it is an input device that enables you to control applications on your computer. Setup instructions depend on the model of SMART Board interactive whiteboard. Specific instructions on how to setup your SMART Board can be found at www.smarttech.com/ support/product/index.asp.
The SMART Pen Tray The SMART Pen Tray consists of four color-coded slots for pens and one slot for the eraser. Each slot has an optical sensor to identify when the pens and eraser have been picked up. You can write with the pen or with your finger, as long as the pen slot is empty. The technology in the pen tray is smart enough to know which tool was removed from its slot most recently. If you remove the eraser from its slot while you are still holding a pen, the pen tray will assume you want to erase. The lights above the tool slots indicate which tool was removed last. TIP:
If someone accidentally takes a pen or the eraser home, simply cover the optical sensor with a pen lid or a sticky note to continue using your interactive whiteboard until the tool is returned.

The Pen-Tray Buttons The pen tray has at least two pen-tray buttons. One button is used to launch the On-Screen Keyboard. The second button is used to make your next touch on the interactive whiteboard a right-click. Some interactive whiteboards have a third button; this button is used to quickly access the Help Center.
Pen tray buttons Pen tray buttons
The Pens The SMART Board interactive whiteboard comes with four Whisper-tip™ pens (black, red, green and blue) and one eraser. Although you do not need to use the pens to write on you interactive whiteboard, the pens do make writing more intuitive. Pick up a pen from the pen tray and write on the SMART Board. To erase your digital ink, remove the eraser from the pen tray and move it in a smooth motion over your notes. Your notes will disappear. TIP: To
clear a large area of digital ink, draw a circle around the area you want to erase with the eraser and tap once inside that area. All handwritten notes inside that circle will disappear.
The Ready Light The Ready Light indicates the status of your interactive whiteboard. Depending on the model of the SMART Board interactive whiteboard you are using, the Ready Light is located either on the right side of the pen tray or the lower-right of the frame bezel.
Ready Light on right side of pen tray
Ready Light on lower-right of frame bezel
If the Ready Light is a solid green, your system is functioning properly. If the Ready Light is flashing or is a color other than green for an extended period of time, you should check the User’s Guide that came with your SMART Board interactive whiteboard for guidance on troubleshooting. NOTE: After you turn on your computer, the Ready Light will be red while the SMART Board interactive whiteboard and the computer are establishing communication.

Quick Reference SMART Board Interactive Whiteboard Basics This Quick Reference Guide provides an overview of the information you need to begin using a SMART Board™ interactive whiteboard. Before you begin, make sure the appropriate SMART Board software has been loaded on your computer. For more information, refer to your SMART Board User’s Guide.
Starting the SMART Board Interactive Whiteboard 1 Ensure the interactive whiteboard and projector are connected to the computer. 2 Turn on the projector, then the computer. The interactive whiteboard draws power from the computer and will be activated automatically. The Ready Light, indicating the status of your interactive whiteboard, will be red while the SMART Board and the computer are establishing communication. NOTE: Depending on the model of the SMART Board interactive whiteboard you are using, the Ready Light is either located on the right side of the SMART Pen Tray or the lower-right of the frame bezel.
Ready Light on right side of pen tray
Ready Light on lowerright of frame bezel
3 Log on, if required, using the computer keyboard. When the Ready Light on the pen tray turns green, the computer and the interactive whiteboard have established communication. The SMART Board is now touch sensitive, and you can open any application available on the connected computer.
Orienting the SMART Board Interactive Whiteboard You should orient your interactive whiteboard when setting it up, or if either the projector or interactive whiteboard has been moved since you last used it. 1 Press and hold the Keyboard and the Right Mouse button simultaneously until the Orientation screen appears.
Pen tray buttons Pen tray buttons

Your Finger Is Your Mouse A press on a SMART Board interactive whiteboard is the same as a left-click with a mouse. To open an application such as an Internet browser, double-press the application icon with your finger.
Writing and Erasing Notes To write over your desktop image or application, pick up a pen from the pen tray and write on the interactive whiteboard. To write in a different color, pick up a different-colored pen. The color recognition comes from the optical sensors in the pen-tray slots and not from the pens themselves. Pick up the eraser from the pen tray and move it in a smooth motion over your notes to erase them. NOTE: The interactive whiteboard only recognizes the last tool removed from the pen tray. For example, if you already have a pen in your hand when you pick up the eraser, the interactive whiteboard will assume you want to erase, regardless of whether you touch the board with a pen or an eraser. To avoid confusion, return each tool to its proper slot when you have finished using it.
Saving Your Notes You can easily save the notes you have written on your interactive whiteboard for future reference. 1 Pick up a pen from the pen tray. The Digital Ink Layer border will appear on your screen. To save what you write on the board when this layer is in place, press the Capture writing button in the top right hand corner of the border. An image of the screen including your writing will be saved in a new Notebook file..
Digital Ink Layer border

NOTE: If the Digital Ink Layer border does not appear when you pick up a pen, you may be working in an Ink Aware application (e.g., Microsoft Word). If the application is Ink Aware, buttons will be available in the application’s own toolbar for capturing writing.
2 If you wish to capture a specific area of your screen, press the SMART Board™ icon located in the Windows Notification Area at the bottom right of your screen, and choose Other SMART Tools > Screen Capture Toolbar... from the menu to launch the Screen Capture toolbar

3 To save a selected area of your notes, press the Area Capture button on the Screen Capture toolbar. Press the interactive whiteboard and, without releasing pressure, drag the selection box using your finger to outline the area you want to capture. NOTE:
The Screen Capture button in Ink Aware applications will capture an image of your entire screen.
4 Notebook™ software will open automatically, and your capture will be saved to a new Notebook page. 5 Select the unsaved Notebook file from the taskbar to view your captured image in Notebook software.

Quick Reference Viewing Search Results Search results are graphically displayed as thumbnail images that match your search criteria. These thumbnail images, or Gallery items, are organized into four content types: Related Folders, Pictures and Backgrounds, Interactive and Multimedia, and Notebook Files and Pages. If you search for the keyword triangle for example, Related Folders will display all Gallery items associated with the keyword, providing you with additional content to help supplement learning activities. Double-press a folder thumbnail to view its contents. The thumbnails displayed in Pictures and Backgrounds include clip art and photographs. Drag an item to the work area to use as part of a lesson or to modify its properties. Interactive and Multimedia contains three types of content: Flash files, video files and objects with attached sounds. Items from this section of the Gallery are used to add rich media content to a lesson or presentation and engage reluctant learners with multimedia elements. Additional content can be found in Notebook Files and Pages. Notebook file thumbnails are recognized by the coil binding on the left of the thumbnail image. Drag the thumbnail image to the work area to add a page or series of pages, such as a complete lesson activity, to your existing content. Notebook files will be inserted directly after the active Notebook page. Notebook page thumbnails are identified by the folded edge in the topright corner. Drag the thumbnail image to the work area to create a new page with a background for students to write over, such as an exercise in identifying shapes.
