Capturing Your Notes - Smart Technologies Smart Board User Manual

The SMART Board driver is now ready to function without a projector, and will
effectively capture your dry-erase ink in electronic form.
NOTE: You do not need to perform an orientation in non-projected mode; the computer
automatically scales the entire surface of the interactive whiteboard to an image the
size of the writing area of the application in which you're working.

Capturing Your Notes

Write on the interactive whiteboard with a dry-erase marker. As soon as you begin writing in
non-projected mode, SMART Notebook software opens to display your annotation on the
connected computer screen. Note that Notebook software will not open automatically when
you're running the Mac OS X operating system.
If you don't want to keep your annotations in a Notebook file, simply erase the dry-ink
markings on your board. This erases the electronic ink on the computer as well.
Once you've filled the interactive whiteboard with notes, you'll want to make sure they're
safely captured in the open Notebook file before you erase them and write any more.
Press the top (New Page) button in the Pen Tray or the Insert Blank Page button in
Notebook software. Your notes are captured in the current page and a new page is
simultaneously opened to be filled with fresh notes. Don't forget to save the Notebook file
when you finish.
When you press the New Page button in the Pen Tray, you can erase the board confidently,
knowing that:
• what you're erasing has been captured in Notebook software
•
the next board-full of notes you write will be captured into a new, blank page in
Notebook software
You can, of course, check to make sure your notes are captured simply by looking at the
current open page in Notebook software. You'll see the notes have been captured and now
appear as the final page in the Side Sorter. After you press the New Page button on the Pen
Tray, the current page will be a new, blank page, ready to receive fresh notes.
Before you erase, press the New Page button in the Pen Tray

Erasing Tip
You can also erase with
your finger in non-
projected mode. Leaving
all tools in the Pen Tray,
touch the board and you
will erase the electronic
ink on the monitor with
the equivalent of a small-
sized eraser.
