Installing SMART Product Drivers

After you install SMART Product Drivers on your computer, your SMART Board 

interactive whiteboard’s surface will respond to the touch of your finger or a pen tray 

pen. SMART Product Drivers includes the tools you need to control computer 

applications with your finger or a pen, and to write over them in digital ink. 

If you don’t install SMART Product Drivers, interactive whiteboard tools such as 

the pens and the eraser don’t work, but you can move the mouse pointer and 

perform mouse functions by touching the interactive surface.

1.

Download the SMART Product Drivers .exe (Windows) or .dmg (Mac) file to your 

computer from the disc or link included with your interactive whiteboard or from
