Orienting Your Interactive Whiteboard
Your SMART Board interactive whiteboard includes default orientation data. Your
interactive whiteboard’s controller module uses this data if you haven’t oriented your
interactive whiteboard with SMART Product Drivers.
interactive whiteboard’s controller module uses this data if you haven’t oriented your
interactive whiteboard with SMART Product Drivers.
After you install SMART Product Drivers on your computer, orient your interactive
whiteboard. An orientation performed with SMART Product Drivers is called a User
Orientation. Orienting your interactive whiteboard ensures the greatest possible level
of writing and touch accuracy. Orient your interactive whiteboard if your projector or
interactive whiteboard has moved since you last used it, or whenever the mouse
pointer isn’t properly aligned with your finger or a pen tray pen when you touch the
screen.

Default Manufacturing Orientation
When your interactive whiteboard uses the default manufacturing orientation data, the
touch point on the screen corresponds fairly well to the projected computer desktop
image, provided that the projected image fills the entire interactive screen. The default
orientation is a simple 2-point orientation, which might result in the projected touch
point being offset from the actual contact location. Increase the accuracy of your touch
by performing a 9-, 12- or 20-point orientation.

NOTE
You can restore the default orientation parameters by holding the Reset button
on the controller module for at least three seconds.

4- and 9-Point User Orientation
When you perform a quick 4-point or the standard 9-point orientation, the orientation
data is saved in your interactive whiteboard controller module’s flash memory (that is,
the orientation data stays with your interactive whiteboard). If you connect a different
computer, the orientation data for your interactive whiteboard remains unchanged.

computer, the orientation data for your interactive whiteboard remains unchanged.
12- or 20-Point User Orientation
You can also perform a 12- or 20-point user orientation. Unlike the 4- and 9-point
orientations, the drivers save the 12- and 20-point orientation data on your computer,
so it stays with your computer instead of your interactive whiteboard. Resetting the
controller module doesn’t clear the 12- or 20-point orientation data from your
computer.
