Quick start for InterWrite™ MeetingBoard
Note: For additional information, see the InterWrite MeetingBoard help file on the CD-ROM.
InterWrite MeetingBoard consists of an electronic whiteboard and electronic pens incorporating GTCO CalComp’s patented pen-input technology. With MeetingBoard, meeting participants can view and share a wide
range of visual information. MeetingBoard supports group collaboration
ranging from small, informal meetings to large, multi-site conferences.
To match a wide range of collaboration needs, MeetingBoard provides
three operating modes:
Copyboard Mode: MeetingBoard functions as a simple electronic
whiteboard. Information written or drawn on the tablet can be saved by
printing on a color inkjet printer.
PC Whiteboard Mode: In this configuration, MeetingBoard is connected to a PC running InterWrite Software. Information written or drawn
on the tablet is captured as an electronic image on the PC. Users can
review, save and print multipage meeting notes on the PC.
Interactive Mode: A standard LCD projector displays the attached
PC’s screen onto the MeetingBoard tablet. With the MeetingBoard pens
and InterWrite Software, a user can launch programs, open and edit
documents, and annotate any information displayed on the PC. The
user can save screens (containing both document content and annotations), review previously saved screens, and print screens. This system can be used for local meetings, or as part of a real-time multi-site
conference (when used with conferencing software and a network connection). Screens can be packaged in a self-extracting file for distribution to meeting participants, as well as those who couldn’t attend.
What you need to do
First, install:
A. Assemble the electronic pens (page 1).
B. Attach the pen tray to the tablet (page 1).
C. Mount the tablet on a wall or on the optional floor stand (page 2).
Next, configure for at least one operating mode (page 3):
n Color Copyboard mode.
n PC Whiteboard mode.
n Interactive mode.
You can now use the InterWrite MeetingBoard (page 4).
Assemble the electronic pens
Attach the pen tray to the tablet
1. Locate the marker holders, electronics modules, batteries, pen caps and
markers supplied. The pens are electronically coded to match the plastic
colors: black, blue, red and green.
2. Insert a marker into the pen housing with the matching color (e.g., red
marker goes in red housing).
3. Remove the marker’s cap and replace it with a MeetingBoard pen cap.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the controller, do not rest the
MeetingBoard tablet on the controller housing (located on the rear of the
tablet near one corner). Do not scratch or damage the tablet’s writing
surface.
1. Snap a tray bracket onto each end of the pen tray.
2. Attach the tray brackets to the bottom rear of the tablet using six Phillips
screws as shown below.
Note: Keep the markers capped as much as possible to prevent them
from drying out. The caps enable the electronic pens to be used in Interactive Mode without leaving ink on the tablet.
4. Remove the battery cover from a pen electronics module. Insert a battery
into the module (assure polarity is correct!). Replace the battery cover.
5. Snap the pen electronics module into a marker housing (any module can
be used with any marker housing).
6. The LED should flash four times, indicating the pen is working correctly.

Mount the tablet (choose one method: wall or floor...)
Mount the tablet on the optional floor stand
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the controller, do not rest the
MeetingBoard tablet on the controller housing (located on the rear of the
tablet near one corner). Do not scratch or damage the tablet’s writing
surface.
1. Attach each mounting bracket to the back of the MeetingBoard tablet using three Phillips screws as shown below.
WARNING: Never nail or drill the MeetingBoard tablet. Doing so will
damage the unit and void your warranty.
IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the tablet or injury, two people should
carry out this mounting procedure.
Mount the tablet on a wall
1. Attach one mounting bracket to the back of the MeetingBoard tablet using
4 Phillips screws as shown below.
2. Attach the other mounting bracket to the wall using hardware appropriate
for the wall structure (this hardware is not included) as shown below left.
3. Hang the tablet by interlocking the mounting brackets as shown above
right.
2. Attach one foot to one leg with four screws as shown below. Attach two
casters to each foot. Insert three end caps (two on the foot and one on the
leg). Repeat for the other foot and leg.
3. IMPORTANT: In this step, the sides of the legs with 10 holes must face
away from the crossbars.
Attach both crossbars to one leg assembly using eight screws as shown
below. Attach the other leg assembly to the crossbars with eight screws.
4. Thread two thumbscrews into each leg as shown below. Hang the
MeetingBoard tablet at the desired height by sliding the mounting bracket
slots over the loose thumbscrews. Tighten the thumbscrews.
4. Connect the power supply cable to the power port on the MeetingBoard
controller (shown above).
5. Connect the power supply cable to the power port on the MeetingBoard
controller (shown at left).
6. Plug the power supply into an electrical outlet.

Using the electronic pens
The electronic pens provide multiple functions:
n By incorporating standard Expo or Pilot dry-erase markers, the pens
can mark directly on the MeetingBoard writing surface.
n The pens work with InterWrite software to control programs, edit documents and annotate screens using electronic “ink.”
n The pens have buttons that act as mouse buttons.
Left-double-click button
(same as pressing mouse’s left button twice)
Right-click button
(same as pressing mouse’s right button)
How you use a pen depends on which MeetingBoard mode you are
using:
n In Copyboard mode
Remove the cap and use the pen as a dryerase marker.
n In PC Whiteboard mode Remove the cap and use the pen as a dryerase marker.
n In Interactive mode
Keep the cap in place. Marks you make are
projected onto the MeetingBoard surface as
electronic “ink.” Use the pen buttons as you
would use mouse buttons (see below).
Erase annotations
with this end
Pen buttons function as mouse buttons in Interactive mode:
n Lower button (nearest the pen tip): same as a mouse’s left button.
n Upper button (farthest from pen tip): same as a mouse’s right button.
Tip
(write or draw using electronic ink,
or click: same as pressing mouse’s left button)
The pen LED lights in the following situations:
n When the pen is assembled, indicating proper operation. The LED
flashes four times.
n When the battery is low. The LED flashes periodically until the pen
enters sleep mode.
Sleep mode assures pens operate over the longest time. After 20 seconds of inactivity, a pen automatically enters sleep mode. This enables
its battery to provide several months of service.
