Boeckeler Instruments, Inc.

Overview

Section Five: Using Markers

markers. A user can prepare overlays in advance of a presentation and then 
recall them at will when they are needed. Once an overlay is recalled, it can be 
changed or erased. When the Pointmaker is powered down, it will automati-
cally save the overlays in its memory.

Instructions for marking are divided into the following categories:

•

Assigning Marker Appearance

•

Marking

•

Clearing Markers

•

Displaying Different Overlays
