22 Camfire PC Installation and User's Guide
Using the Camfire PC System
Although you can also capture your whiteboard notes onto the clipboard, Notebook software
is a more convenient tool for collecting, organizing and presenting your captured notes. Each
time you capture your whiteboard notes, an image is inserted on a new page in the Notebook
file. You can then move, copy and save these images. If you like, you can also export your
notes as a PDF file, HTML file or a series of image files for people who don’t have Notebook
software. For a full explanation of the many features in Notebook software, refer to its Help
file.

For best results when you write on the whiteboard:
• Use regular dry-erase markers and not fine-point markers
• Use darker colors because they are easier to read. (Although the Camfire PC system
can successfully capture a full range of colors.)
• Do not use excessively small print. Make each letter at least 1/2 in. (1.27 cm) in
height.
Remember, the Camfire PC system creates the image of your whiteboard notes from
photographs. If your writing is messy on the whiteboard, it’ll be messy in the image.
Also, uneven lighting conditions at the whiteboard can result in an image of lower quality. For
best results, use even lighting and avoid spotlights or other light sources that may create
glare.
