• view status information for your SMART hardware and access the status log for
information and diagnostic purposes
• orient your interactive whiteboard (page 6)
• access advanced settings, such as the level of orientation
NOTE: Use the other advanced settings only when Technical Support advises you to
do so because some alterations can adversely affect your hardware.
• set up the interactive screen for projected (page 6) or non-projected (page 28) use
• control the connection between your SMART hardware and your computer
Use the Pen Tray tab of the SMART Board Control Panel to customize the pen tray tools or
the pen tool buttons to accommodate your individual preferences. On this tab, you can also
quickly return the tools to their default settings. See page 8 for more information.
The Pen Tray
The SMART Board interactive whiteboard is equipped with a pen tray that contains the
following tools:
• four styluses and an eraser for adding and removing electronic ink
• buttons for quick access to other software tools
• a Ready Light for checking the state of the interactive screen
To click on the interactive screen, leave all the tools in the pen tray and touch the screen.
To write over top of the computer image, just pick up one of the four styluses from the pen tray
and write on the screen. To erase the electronic ink, pick up the eraser and drag it across the
annotation.
You can change any of these tools to suit your needs (page 8). For example, you can change
a stylus to a highlighter or change the color or width of its electronic ink. You can also change
the size of the area erased by the eraser.
