Getting to Know Your <strong>SMART</strong> Pen Tray<br />

Eraser Black Stylus Blue Stylus Red Stylus Green Stylus Pen Tray Buttons Ready Light<br />

The Ready Light<br />

When illuminated, this Light-Emitting Diode<br />

(LED) indicates the current state of your<br />

interactive whiteboard.<br />

When the Ready Light flashes between red and<br />

green, the Pen Tray is in the process of<br />

powering up. Steady red indicates the Pen Tray<br />

is receiving power. Steady green occurs when<br />

<strong>SMART</strong> <strong>Board</strong> software is installed and active<br />

on the connected computer. It indicates your<br />

Pen Tray is fully operational: power is being<br />

received and the hardware and installed<br />

software are fully integrated.<br />

Using a Pen Tray Stylus<br />

To write over top of the computer image, just<br />

pick up one of the four colored styluses from<br />

the Pen Tray and write on the active board.<br />

To write in a different color, place the stylus<br />

back in its slot and select another. Since the<br />

color recognition comes from the slots in the<br />

Pen Tray rather than the styluses themselves,<br />

you must ensure that each stylus is returned to<br />

its proper slot (the slot with the corresponding<br />

color) when you finish using it.<br />

You also have the option of changing any or all<br />

of these styluses to highlighters, assigning any<br />

one of an array of colors to them, or altering<br />

their width. The size of the area erased with the<br />

Pen Tray eraser can also be easily changed.<br />

Turn to page 18 for information on configuring<br />

the styluses and eraser.<br />

<strong>SMART</strong> <strong>Board</strong> User’s <strong>Guide</strong><br />

Using the Pen Tray Buttons<br />

Press the top Pen Tray button to make the<br />

<strong>SMART</strong> on-screen keyboard appear. Press<br />

the bottom button to make the next contact<br />

with the board a right-mouse click (Windows<br />

operating system) or a floating mouse<br />

(Macintosh computer).<br />

Keyboard<br />

Right-Click or<br />

Floating Mouse<br />

These default behaviors can be reconfigured<br />

(see page 18) so that either button can:<br />

• Send the current page to the printer<br />

• Create a new page (Windows operating<br />

system) or move to the preceding or the<br />

following page in Notebook software<br />

• Clear all annotations from the current page<br />

• Produce a floating or a middle mouse<br />

(Windows operating system)<br />

NOTE: A “floating mouse” is similar in<br />

behavior to moving your mouse on your<br />

workstation screen without clicking it. You may<br />

want to replicate this mouse state so you can<br />

view tool tips or simply relocate the pointer<br />

(without activating a program component)<br />

when you touch the board.
