USING 3M™ DIGITAL WALLDISPLAY WITH IDEABOARD
Copyboard Mode
This mode lets the 3M Digital WallDisplay unit capture all the data from the screen and print it
to a printer connected directly to the 3M Digital WallDisplay. No computer is needed to run this
system. This mode should be used without projection.
Note: 3M Digital WallDisplay with the Ideaboard Digital White Board option is compatible
only with the printers listed on Appendix page 81.
Whiteboard Mode
You can use this mode without projection, to function as an electronic whiteboard. You can save,
print to a PC or networked printer (but not the printer connected to the 3M Digital WallDisplay),
and share the meeting over a network. It is not recommended to run projection in this mode
because you will see the data from the projector and the writing on the screen at the same time.
The Print button on this system will work the same as the Print command from the menu
system, and the Clear button will start a new page.
Projection Mode
The second way to use Ideaboard with a computer is in Projection mode. In this mode, your
computer’s desktop is projected on the 3M Digital WallDisplay screen and the Ideaboard system
can be used as a touch screen. For this mode, use the Digital Mouse stylus insert instead of the
dry-erase markers. The stylus is used the same way a mouse is used on a PC (including the
right-click function), but the Print and Clear buttons will have no effect.
GETTING STARTED
Assembling Digital Markers
The 3M Digital WallDisplay with Ideaboard recognizes dry-erase marker writing by
signalling the marker’s exact location to the bezel. These signals are created and transmitted by
small sensors near the ends of the battery-powered marker sleeves.
To prepare the digital markers:
1. Unscrew the end cap on the marker sleeve, turning it counterclockwise. Insert two
coin batteries (CR2032), with the positive (+) side up. Screw the end cap back on,
clockwise.
2. Press the ridged release button on the side of the marker sleeve, beneath the clip, to
open the marker compartment.
CAUTION
These batteries contain lithium. Consult your local hazardous
waste regulations and dispose of these batteries in the proper
manner.
