Getting started with your SMARTBoard
interactive flat panel
Using your SMARTBoard interactive flat panel, you can write, draw and erase digital ink, manipulate
objects and browse content on the screen.
About SMART Ink
SMART Ink enables you to write and draw in digital ink over open applications, files, folders,
websites and any other open window on your computer.
You can write over an Internet browser window, highlight content on your screen and write over a
video without pausing the video and without interfering with your ability to interact with the video.
When you move, resize or minimize a window, the ink stays with the window.
You can convert your digital ink notes to text. You can also move, erase and capture your notes as an
image and save it to your SMART software.
When you open an application that has its own ink tools, you can turn off SMART Ink, and then use
the application's ink tools to write.
