CONNECTING THE INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD TO A COMPUTER
Installing SMART Product Drivers
You can install SMART Product Drivers on any computer that meets certain minimum operating
specifications by using the software installation DVD included with your SMART product or by
downloading it from smarttech.com/downloads.
IMPORTANT
You must install the latest version of SMART Product Drivers on your Windows or Mac computer
in order to write in digital ink and to use touch on the interactive whiteboard's surface.
For a complete list of computer requirements, go to
latest SMART Notebook software release notes applicable to your computer's operating system.

Calibrating the interactive whiteboard

Digital cameras in the corners of the interactive whiteboard track the position of the pens and your
finger on the interactive surface, and then send the information to the SMART software. SMART
software interprets this information as mouse clicks, digital ink or ink removal in the appropriate
location.
If you haven't used the interactive whiteboard before, you must perform a calibration. This process
ensures that the cameras accurately track your finger and the pens on the interactive surface. If the
system detects a problem with calibration, a warning bubble may also appear recommending that
you perform a calibration.
To calibrate your interactive whiteboard
1. The first time you connect the interactive whiteboard, press the Please calibrate the
SMART Board interactive whiteboard pop-up bubble that appears in the bottom right corner
of the screen.
If the pop-up doesn't appear, click the SMART Board icon in the Windows notification area or
Mac Dock and select SMART Settings > SMART Hardware Settings > Advanced > Calibrate.
