30 | CHAPTER 3 – USING THE INTERACTIVE PEN DISPLAY
Basic Pen Operation
Pointing and
selecting
• Move the pen slightly above the interactive screen to position
the screen cursor. You do not need to touch the display surface.
The cursor jumps to the location where you place the pen.
Press the pen tip on the display surface to make a selection.
NOTE
If the screen cursor does not jump to a position close to
the pen tip when you place the pen on the display
surface, SMART Board drivers may not be installed or
they may not be loading.
Clicking • Tap the display surface once with the pen tip, or touch the pen
to the display surface with enough pressure to register a click.
TIP
To make navigating with the pen easier, configure the
Windows operating system to select when the pen is over
an icon and to launch the icon with a single click. To turn
on this feature, open any folder, and then perform one of
the following procedures:
– On the Windows Vista operating system, select
Organise > Folder and Search Options and then
select Single-click to open an item (point to
select) on the General tab.
– On the Windows XP operating system, select Tools >
Folder Options and then select Single-click to
open an item (point to select) on the General tab.
Double-clicking • Quickly tap the display surface twice in the same place with the
pen tip. Double-clicking is easier when the pen is perpendicular
to the interactive screen. For information on fine-tuning the
double-click area, see SMART Notebook software online Help.
Dragging • Select an object, and then slide the pen tip across the display
surface to the location that you want.
Writing or
Drawing • Use the pen tip like a pen to write or draw in digital ink.
Erasing • The pen’s eraser works like the eraser on a pencil to remove
digital ink.
