Orienting the Projected SMART Board

If you are using a projector with your SMART Board, a check mark
should appear beside the SMART Board Has a Projector selection in
the Board menu. A projected system enables you to use the Pen Tray
pens, your finger, or the drawing tools of the Floating Tool Palette to:
•
annotate over applications that are not Board-aware (that do not
recognize Pen or Drawing Tool marks as integral program
components)
•
perform application procedures within Board-aware programs
The projected computer image must be oriented to the Board. Without
proper orientation, the cursor will not track your finger or a Pen Tray tool
accurately. Therefore, the first use of the activated SMART Board with a
projector should be performing the orientation procedure.
