Using The Pens And Erasers; Writing And Drawing In Digital Ink - SMART Board 6000S Series User Manual

CHAPTER 2
USING BASIC FEATURES

Using the pens and erasers

The display comes with a black pen, a red pen, and two erasers. You can use the pens to write and
draw in digital ink on the display, and you can use the erasers—or your palm or fist—to erase digital
ink.
The display has magnetic holders for the pens and erasers at the bottom of the display's frame.
Return the pens and erasers to their holders when you're done with them.
CAUTION
When you return a pen to the magnetic holder, make sure it's centered in its holder to keep it
from falling and being damaged.

Writing and drawing in digital ink

Several people can write or draw on the screen at the same time. Each pen writes and draws in its
own color. The Pen ID™ feature lets you assign different colors, thicknesses, and other properties to
each pen.
IMPORTANT
Use only pens designed for SMART Board 6000S and 6000S Pro series interactive displays (see
smarttech.com/kb/171230).
To write or draw in digital ink
1. Pick up one of the display's pens.
2. Write or draw in digital ink on the screen.
TIP
