Getting started with your SMART Board 500 or 600 series interactive whiteboard

Using your SMART Board 500 or 600 series interactive whiteboard, you can write, draw and erase digital ink, manipulate objects and browse content on the screen.

Note

You can change the mouse and gesture settings to accommodate the way you and other users touch the screen. In addition, you need to enable single-touch gestures to use several of the gestures described below. For more information, see Changing mouse and gesture settings.

Writing, drawing and erasing digital ink

Using the pens and eraser in your interactive whiteboard pen tray, you can write or draw digital ink over SMART Notebook software and other programs.

If you have a SMART Board D600 series interactive whiteboard, you can write, draw or erase digital ink while in Dual-User mode.

Note

How the digital ink you write or draw over a program is included in that program depends on whether the program is Ink Aware or not. For more information, see Working with Ink Aware programs and Working with non-Aware programs.
