Using the ID250
The Sympodium ID250 interactive pen display is as easy to use as a pen on paper. By touching
the tethered pen to the screen, you can interact with computer applications intuitively. In addition,
you can access additional tools and features using the pen tool buttons and function buttons. This
chapter tells you how to interact with the screen using the pen, as well as how to use the pen tool
and function buttons.
NOTE: You can use SMART Board software to make your presentations interactive and dynamic.
For further information on what you can accomplish with SMART Board software, refer to the
online Help.
Touching the Interactive Screen
You can manipulate objects, select items, and create and remove digital ink by touching the screen
with the tethered pen.
NOTE: You can interact with the screen only if the SMART Board tools are running on the
computer. You’ll know the SMART Board tools are open if you can see the SMART Board icon in
the system tray or the Dock.
Using the Pen Tool Buttons
Use the pen tool buttons to control how the ID250 responds to your screen presses. You can use
the pen tool buttons to left-click (sometimes referred to as Mouse mode), right-click, write digital
ink (in black, blue or red) or erase when you press the screen.
When you press the Left-Click pen tool button, each screen press is interpreted as a left-click until
you press a different pen tool button.
CAUTION
Only use the pen that came with the ID250. Pens or styluses from other products
can damage the protective coating of the display.
