Stylus functionality (IFP50-5)
Your IFP50-5 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.

- Stylus ends: Both sides can be used to interact with the board, with special functionality differences in myViewBoard Whiteboard.
- Thin tip: 3mm/4mm thin tip.
- Thick tip: 7mm/9mm thick tip.
- Annotation: Write on the board when using the side toolbar's pen tool or when using myViewBoard Whiteboard. (See below.)

VB-PEN-009
In addition, some pen models (VB-PEN-004 and VB-PEN-007) may feature or come with the following:
- Extra button functionality: Some pen stylus models feature extra buttons with special functionality. These may include:
- Navigating to previous and next pages.
- Displaying a spotlight on the screen.

- VB-PEN-004: This model of pen also comes with a charging case, which holds your pen styluses and connects to your ViewBoard via USB.

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 front port section, two magnetic strips (identifiable by an outline) are available for safe pen stylus storage.

VB-PEN-004 USER NOTE: The charging case that comes with this model of pen stylus can be mounted on the display. Place your pen stylus in the case for storage and charging.
Pen tool in the side toolbar
In the side toolbar, find the pen 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.
myViewBoard Whiteboard
In myViewBoard Whiteboard, make use of thin and thick tip functionality to quickly switch between pen and other Whiteboard tools.
