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 
at 
IMPORTANT

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

If you do not know how to remove software, ask your system administrator.
