Differentiating pen trays

Value-line models include a passive pen ledge, with no electronic functions.

Model numbers in the value line end with a V, such as SBM680V.

Standard models of SMART Board M600 series interactive whiteboards, such as SBM600, use a standard pen tray.

This pen tray has buttons that work with SMART software on a connected computer to change the pointer to be a colored pen, an eraser or a pointer. There are also buttons for right-mouse-click functions, an on-screen keyboard, and for orienting the interactive whiteboard.

Refer to the documentation for more information about the buttons and the meanings of different status light conditions for this pen tray.

Projector systems, which include a SMART Board M600 series interactive whiteboard and a compatible SMART projector, use a pen tray that includes integrated projector controls. These systems have an i suffix followed by the projector system indicator, such as SBM680i6.

This pen tray includes all the buttons and functions of the standard pen tray and adds projector controls and connections. These projector controls, on the pen tray’s left, also include an internal USB device switch that switches the interactive whiteboard’s touch system among “not connected,” “computer-1” and “computer-2” depending on the SMART or Epson for SMART projector’s USB mapping settings.

Refer to the projector system’s documentation for more information about the buttons and the meanings of different status light conditions.

This variety of pen tray is also compatible with Epson for SMART projectors. For information, see Epson for SMART projector compatibility.
