53 | USING AND MAINTAINING YOUR SMART BOARD INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD
Using Non-Projected Mode
The default mode for SMART product drivers is projected (also called mouse) mode. If
you’re using your interactive whiteboard without a projector, however, change the
software mode to non-projected (whiteboard) mode. To access this option, open the
SMART Notebook control panel, select SMART Board Settings, and then select
the Non-Projected (Whiteboard Mode) option. Otherwise, when you write anywhere
other than on a SMART Notebook page, you might accidentally activate menu
commands or other program elements.
NOTE
If you’re using SMART product drivers in non-projected mode, you’re unable
to connect more than one interactive product to your computer.
In non-projected (whiteboard) mode, you can write on the screen with dry-erase
markers just like you would on an ordinary whiteboard. Unlike an ordinary whiteboard,
however, what you write displays simultaneously on a SMART Notebook page.
In this mode, your computer automatically scales the size of the writing area in
SMART Notebook to the size of the interactive screen.
Setting Up the Pen Tray for Non-Projected Mode
In non-projected mode, the left pen tray button is the Print Page button, which sends
your current page of notes to your computer’s default printer. The right button is the
New Page button. When you press this button, a new page opens in the current
SMART Notebook file to receive your notes. You can change these default settings
with SMART product drivers.
To equip the pen tray, purchase a set of dry-erase markers in black, blue, red and
green. Refer to page 5 for recommendations on dry-erase markers. Place each pen in
the matching color slot of the pen tray.
