25 | CONNECTING YOUR INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD TO A COMPUTER
Installing SMART Product Drivers
After you install SMART product drivers on your computer, your SMART Board V280
interactive whiteboard’s display will respond to the touch of an interactive whiteboard
pen on its screen surface. SMART product drivers include the tools that you need
to control computer applications with the included pen, and to write over them in
digital ink.
You can install SMART product drivers on any computer that meets certain minimum
operating specifications using the software CD included with your SMART product.
For your interactive whiteboard’s system requirements, see document 121618
at www.smarttech.com/support.
IMPORTANT
Before installing SMART product drivers from the included CD:
• Connect your interactive whiteboard to your computer with the included
USB cable, as described on page 23. If you connect your interactive
whiteboard to your computer after you install SMART product drivers, you
might see an error message stating that SMART Board Service encountered
a problem. For more details, see http://www2.smarttech.com/kbdoc/133790.
• Remove all versions of SMART software or SMART product drivers
previously installed on your computer, and then restart your computer.
If you do not know how to remove software, ask your system administrator.
