Using the pens
The board comes with two pens with erasers attached.
The board’s bottom frame includes magnetic holders for the pens. Removing a pen from the holders activates it, and you can use the pen to draw or erase digital ink.
Caution
When you return the pen to the magnetic holder, make sure it’s centered in its holder to keep it from falling and being damaged.
Writing, drawing and erasingYou can write or draw in digital ink using the pens. You can erase digital ink using either the eraser ends of the pens or gestures.
Notes
Make sure your hands, arms and any loose clothing don’t touch the board surface as you write, draw and erase.
If you’re viewing a connected computer’s input, SMART Ink enables you to write or draw in digital ink over applications, files, folders, websites and any other open window.
For more information, see Using SMART Ink.
