NFC function3
NFC function
The NFC sensor on the front panel of the display allows users to perform various
shortcuts to make writing and creating annotations with EZWrite 4.1 easier and faster.
• Directly touch the NFC sensor with either end of an NFCPen to launch EZWrite
4.1. The brush color will be set to the color of the end that was used to touch the
sensor (for example if the red end of an NFCPen touches the NFC sensor EZWrite 4.1
will launch with a red brush).
• In EZWrite 4.1 you can easily switch the color of your brush by touching the NFC
sensor with either colored end of an NFCPen. Once you do so the color of the brush
in EZWrite 4.1 will match the color of the end which was used to touch the sensor.
NFCPens are available in four colors: red & green and black & blue.
