Working with Whiteboard Notes at Your
Desk
You can access whiteboard notes at your desk in three different ways:
•
If you saved images to a USB storage device, you can access the images using any
•
If Image-Saving Software for PCs is installed on a computer within the same network
as the control unit, you can access the files on that computer (page 26–28).
•
If Image-Saving Software for Networks is installed on your network, you can access
the images after they are published on the intranet (page 28–29).
Using a Removable USB Storage Device
Whenever you insert a USB storage device into a control unit, a new folder is created
based on the current time and date. You can also create a new folder by pressing the
New Folder button on the control unit. Each image of whiteboard notes is stored as a
separate JPEG file. To access your images, insert the USB storage device into a USB
port on any computer and use Windows Explorer to navigate to the image you want.
Using Image-Saving Software for PCs
With Image-Saving Software for PCs, images of whiteboard notes are automatically
saved to a specified computer within the same network as the registered control units. As
many as three control units can be registered to save images on the specified computer.
Image-Saving Software for PCs stores the images of whiteboard notes in folders. It
creates two types of files in a folder: an HTML index and JPEG files for each image. To
access thumbnail images of all the whiteboard notes in a folder, search for the index.html
file.
To activate Image-Saving Software for PCs:
While Image-Saving Software for PCs is active, the Camfire icon will appear in the system
tray.

To refresh the index of whiteboard notes:
Image-Saving Software for PCs maintains an index of the whiteboard notes saved in each
folder. Normally, you won’t need to refresh this index because it’s updated automatically
whenever the software is started or new whiteboard notes are saved. However, if you use
Windows Explorer to modify the image files, your changes may not be included in the
HTML page used as an index. In this situation, you may need to refresh the index.
