CHAPTER 3

 – USING THE INTERACTIVE PEN DISPLAY

NOTES

When the pen is not in use, place it in the pen storage compartment, or lay it 
flat on your desk. To maintain the sensitivity of your pen, do not store the pen 
in a container where it will rest on its tip.

Some product configurations may come with a pen that has no butons or 
eraser. In that case, you can ignore all explanations within this guide 
regarding the side switch or eraser.

IMPORTANT

Use only the pen that came with your SMART Podium ID422w pen display. Other 
pens may not function properly. Also, the SMART Podium ID422w pen tip is 
specifically designed for use with the SMART Podium ID422w pen display – the 
tips on other pens could damage the protective coating on the pen display screen.

Basic Pen Operation

Pointing and selecting

Move the pen slightly above the SMART Podium ID422w display screen to position 
the screen cursor; you do not need to touch the display surface. The cursor jumps to 
the location where you place the pen. Press the pen tip on the display screen to make 
a selection.

NOTE

If the screen cursor does not jump to a position close to the pen tip when you 
place the pen on the display screen, the pen tablet driver may not be installed or is 
not loading. Install the driver software if necessary.

Clicking

Tap the display screen once with the pen tip, or touch the pen to the display screen 
with enough pressure to register a click. 

TIPS

Windows:

To make navigating with the pen easier, configure Windows to select when the 
pen is over an icon and to launch the icon with a single click. To turn on this 
feature, first open a folder.

For Windows Vista, From the ORGANIZE pull-down menu select 

FOLDER 

AND SEARCH OPTIONS

. From the GENERAL tab select SINGLE-CLICK 

TO OPEN AN ITEM (POINT TO SELECT).
