Operation Steps
The copyboard uses an image scanner to scan characters or diagrams drawn using special markers (four col-
ors). When the Color Print or B/W Print button is pressed, the image on the screen is printed out to the
printer. When a USB memory device or computer is connected, the image on the screen is saved as image data
when the Save button is pressed. (For the memory for computer storage, one sheet’s worth of data is
saved, overwriting previously saved data.)
Furthermore, when network settings are made, image files can be saved on the copyboard or FTP server.
