SMART SBX880 - Writing, selecting and erasing using Touch Recognition; Using gestures

22 | CHAPTER 4 – USING AND MAINTAINING YOUR SMART BOARD INTERACTIVE
WHITEBOARD
Writing, selecting and erasing using Touch
Recognition
Your SMART Board X800 series interactive whiteboard supports Touch Recognition,
which means you can pick up a pen and write, select or erase without replacing the
pen. SMART software interprets your intent when you press the interactive surface,
based on the initial size of the contact area.
• If you press the interactive surface with the pen, SMART software identifies a
small contact area, and you write or draw in digital ink on the screen.
• If you press the interactive surface with your finger, SMART software identifies a
larger contact area, and you perform a left click.
• If you press the interactive surface with an eraser, your palm or the side of your
hand, SMART software identifies a much larger contact area, and you erase
digital ink from the screen.
Enabling Locked Ink mode
If you want any touch on the interactive whiteboard’s surface to register as digital ink,
regardless of the size of the contact area, press one of the pen tray’s pen color
buttons for at least three seconds to enter Locked Ink mode. While in this mode,
pressing the screen with either a pen tray pen or your finger creates digital ink on the
screen. If you need to erase digital ink, use the eraser from the pen tray.
To exit Locked Ink mode, press the same pen tray button for three seconds.
NOTE
The selected pen tray light blinks to indicate you’re in Locked Ink mode.
Using gestures
When you use SMART Notebook software, you can perform the following gestures on
the interactive whiteboard’s surface.
NOTE
Depending on which operating system and which application you’re working in,
some gestures may not work or may perform differently than described.
