The SMART Pen Tray consists of four color-coded slots for pens and one slot for the eraser.

Each slot has an optical sensor to identify when the pens and eraser have been picked up. You can write with the pen or with your finger, as long as the pen slot is empty.

The technology in the pen tray is smart enough to know which tool was removed from its slot most recently.

If you remove the eraser from its slot while you are still holding a pen, the pen tray will assume you want to erase. The lights above the tool slots indicate which tool was removed last.

If a pen or the eraser is missing, cover the optical sensor with a pen lid or a sticky note to continue using your interactive whiteboard until the tool is returned.
