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

Using the SMART Ink dynamic toolbar
Opening the dynamic toolbar
Before opening the dynamic 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 dynamic 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
NOTE
If the toolbar is currently expanded (i.e. someone has touched the dynamic 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 dynamic toolbar depends on the type of SMART interactive product you’re using.
NOTE
You can set the dynamic toolbar to appear on screen at all times (see
Viewing the dynamic toolbar in full mode
When you first open the dynamic toolbar, it appears minimized. To view the toolbar in full mode, press it.
NOTES
