This guide explains how to use SMARTInk® with your SMART interactive product.

About SMARTInk

You can use SMARTInk to write and draw in digital ink over open applications, files, folders, websites and

any other open window on your computer. When you move, resize or minimize a window, the ink stays with

the window.

You can write over each tab in Internet Explorer® and Chrome™ Internet browsers or over a video without

pausing it or interfering with the video’s interactivity. You can highlight content on the screen and move,

copy and paste and erase digital ink notes or convert them to text. You can also capture notes as an image

and save the image in a SMART software file.

When you open Microsoft® Word, Excel® or PowerPoint® in Windows® operating systems, you can use the

Microsoft ink tools to write in files.

About other SMART software

SMARTInk and SMART Product Drivers are included with SMARTNotebook® collaborative learning

software and SMART MeetingPro® software.

SMART Product Drivers

SMART Product Drivers enables your computer to detect input from SMART interactive products.

Welcome

smarttech.com/kb/171190 5

interactive product’s pens using the drawing tools in the SMARTInk floating toolbar.

SMARTNotebook software

SMARTNotebook software is designed for education users.

Using your SMART interactive product’s pens and the drawing tools in the SMARTInk floating toolbar, you

can write in SMARTNotebook software, and the digital ink becomes part of the SMARTNotebook file.

SMART MeetingPro software

SMART MeetingPro software is designed for business users.

Using your SMART interactive product’s pens and the drawing tools in the SMARTInk floating toolbar, you

can write in SMART MeetingPro software, and the digital ink becomes part of the SMART MeetingPro file.

Using the SMARTInk 5 dynamic (floating) toolbar

Opening the dynamic (floating) toolbar

Before opening the toolbar, connect your computer to a SMART interactive product and then start SMART

Ink.

SMARTBoard interactive flat panels use PenID™. If you pick up a pen, the floating toolbar appears.

The toolbar changes color based on the most-recently picked up pen tool. If you pick up the black pen first,

the toolbar will be black; if you then pick up the red pen, it will change to red.

Chapter 2

Using SMARTInk

smarttech.com/kb/171190 7

NOTE

If the toolbar is currently expanded (i.e. someone has touched the floating toolbar center icon), the Ink

software interprets this behavior as a potential change in pen properties, so even if other pens touch the

board during this time, the center of the toolbar won't be updated.

Users can choose the colors and other settings for their pens independently.

The procedure for opening the toolbar depends on the type of SMART interactive product you’re using.

NOTE

You can set the toolbar to appear on screen at all times (see Chapter 5: Changing settings on page55).

Viewing the toolbar in full mode

When you first open the toolbar, it appears minimized. To view the toolbar in full mode, tap it.

NOTES

lIf SMARTNotebook software is installed, buttons for the first four SMARTInk Favorites appear around

the toolbar when it’s minimized. These buttons are called “quick favorites” (see Saving and using

favorite tools on page26).

lThe options available in full mode depend on the type of SMART interactive product connected to

your computer.

The toolbar minimizes after 10 seconds of non-use. You can also minimize the toolbar at any time by

pressing its center.

Moving and docking the toolbar

If the toolbar is covering content, drag it to a different part of the screen.

You can dock the toolbar to the left or right edge of the screen by dragging it to that edge. You can also tap

the docking button in the top-right corner of the toolbar.

Chapter 2

Pinning palettes in the toolbar

When you tap one of the buttons in the toolbar’s circle, the button moves to the top of the circle and a

palette for the button appears. After 10 seconds of non-use, the toolbar minimizes and open palettes

disappear.

You can pin a palette so that it remains open while you write or draw or complete other tasks. To pin a

palette, tap in its upper-right corner. To unpin the palette, tap in its top-right corner.

NOTE

If you tap the center of the toolbar, the toolbar minimizes and pinned palettes disappear.

Closing (hiding) the toolbar

Unless the toolbar is set to appear at all times (see Chapter 5: Changing settings on page55), it disappears

when you return the pen to its holder. If you pick up the pen later, the toolbar reappears in the same

location.

You can also hide the toolbar in other ways:

lDock the toolbar, push it off the screen until it disappears, and then tap Close Ink when prompted.

lTap in the notification area (Windows operating systems) or Mac menu bar (OSX operating system

software) and select Hide Ink Toolbar.

NOTE

You can also turn off SMARTInk for a specific window or application (see Turning SMARTInk on or off on

page38).

SMARTNotebook software required

Getting started with the SMARTTouch InkingTool

If your computer is connected to a SMART interactive product that supports touch recognition, you can use

the SMARTTouch InkingTool to write or draw with your finger or an accessibility aid, such as a tennis ball.

NOTE

The SMART Touch Inking Tool is available only if SMARTNotebook software is installed.
