Reconfiguring the Pen Tray Tools
You can alter the line thickness, color or opacity (to create a transparent highlighter effect) of the pen tray
styluses. You can also change the size of the pen tray eraser to suit your needs, as well as the function of
the pen tray buttons.
To reconfigure the pen tray tools
1 Press and hold the SMART Board icon and select Control Panel.
2 Press the Pen Tray tab.
3 Press any of the large tool buttons.
To change the eraser settings
Press the Specify Size option and select the number of pixels for the new eraser diameter
(between 10 and 100).
NOTE: Ten pixels is the approximate size of your fingertip.
OR
Select Automatically size eraser to SMART Board size to have the eraser sized to match your
interactive whiteboard.
To change the stylus settings
To change the width (the default is 2 pixels), in the Width box select the width you want. The
range is from 1 to 32 pixels.
To change the stylus to a highlighter, select the Highlighter check box.
To change the color, press the Color arrow button. A basic 16-color palette appears.
A preview of the selected color and width appears in the lower section of the dialog box.
To change the pen tray button settings
While the buttons available on your SMART hardware have been assigned a default behavior,
you can easily change this. If your SMART product has a pen tray, pressing the top or right button
activates the SMART Keyboard, whereas pressing the bottom or left button makes your next
contact a floating mouse. On the Sympodium lecterns, these buttons are labeled with an
illustration of a keyboard and a mouse with a pressed right-click button.
To alter these default behaviors, select one of the available options for each button from the
corresponding list.
NOTE: If you’re using an interactive whiteboard without a projector, turn to Appendix A:
Using an Interactive Whiteboard without a Projector on page 37 to change your pen tray
button settings.
