If you’re using a SMART Board 800 series interactive whiteboard and you want any touch on the interactive whiteboard’s surface to register as a specific tool, such as a pen, eraser, or Select tool, regardless of the size of the contact area, you can enable the lockable pen option. For example, if you select the pen tool, pressing the screen with either a pen tray pen, your finger, the palm of your hand or any other object creates digital ink on the interactive whiteboard. Use the lockable pen option if you’re more comfortable using a larger object, such as a tennis ball, to write on the interactive whiteboard.

To enable the lockable pen option

1. Press one of the pen tray’s buttons for at least three seconds to lock it.

   Note 

   The selected pen tray light blinks to indicate you’re using the lockable pen option.

2. When done, press any pen tray color button to unlock the button.
