Installing SMART Notebook Software
Your interactive pen display comes with a SMART Notebook software CD, which you
can use to install SMART Notebook software on your computer.
NOTE
You’ll need to use the computer’s keyboard or mouse to perform the installation,
as your screen is not touch sensitive until you install and open the
SMART Board tools.
To install
SMART Notebook
software
1. If you haven’t done so already, turn on the computer and the interactive pen
display.
2. Close all open applications on the computer.
3. Insert the SMART Notebook software CD into the CD drive.
4. For most systems, the CD is self-starting. If the CD doesn’t start automatically:
Select Start >Run , and enter x:\autorun.exe (where x: is your CD drive)
(Windows operating systems).
OR
Open your CD drive, and double-click the install file (Mac computers).
5. Follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE
You’ll have to use the connected keyboard and mouse, because the pen
doesn’t work until the SMART Board tools are running.
If SMART Notebook software doesn’t recognize the interactive pen display, you may
have to activate the port manually using an attached keyboard or mouse. For further
information, read the SMART Notebook software online Help. Also, if the interactive
pen display is your secondary monitor, you may need to enable it in your
Display Properties Control Panel .
Because the SMART Board tools must be running before you can use the
interactive pen display, ensure the SMART Board tools open automatically when
you turn on the computer. When you install SMART Notebook software, select the
option to start the SMART Board tools automatically when you start your computer.
You’ll know the tools are open if you can see the SMART Board icon in the system
tray or the Dock.
After the software is installed and running, touch the pen to the interactive screen. The
cursor should appear under the tip of the pen. If it doesn’t, you may need to orient the
screen (page 9) or see the Troubleshooting section of this guide (page 19).
