Calibrating and orienting the SMART product

Calibration and orientation are important to the proper functioning of a SMART product's touch
features. Calibration and orientation ensure the touch interactions with the SMART product's
surface are interpreted and communicated correctly with the SMART software installed on the
connected computer. Without calibration and orientation, digital ink could appear at a distance
from the pen's contact with the screen, or areas might not respond to touch properly.
