Stylus functionality (IFP33)
Your IFP33 comes with two ViewSonic Pens (model may vary). With these styluses, interact with certain apps on your ViewBoard, such as myViewBoard Whiteboard, with more precision and control.

- Extra button functionality: Some pen stylus models feature extra buttons with special functionality. These may include:

NOT SURE IF YOUR PEN STYLUS IS COMPATIBLE?
If you previously acquired a ViewSonic pen stylus with a different ViewBoard model, basic thin tip and thick tip functionality will still be supported.
Convenient storage
On the front bezel next to each speaker, two magnetic strips (identifiable by an outline) are available for safe pen stylus storage.

Pen tool in the side toolbar
In the side toolbar, find the mark tool 
, which allows you to annotate on any screen while using your ViewBoard. Though ViewSonic Pen stylus isn't required to use this pen tool, it provides a more intuitive and precise experience.
