About This Guide
This Getting Started guide describes how to set up your Interwrite Mobi and
Interwrite Pen II, install the Interwrite Workspace software, and establish a
communication connection with your PC or your Mac. It ends with an over-
view of the Interwrite Workspace software.
Product Overview
The Interwrite Mobi is a tablet system featuring the patented digitizer and
pen-input technology. Used with the Interwrite Workspace software on a PC
or a Mac, the Mobi acts as an input device allowing you to control the com-
puter so you can run applications, open and edit files, and annotate screen
images and presentation files from anywhere in the room. When used with
an Interwrite DualBoard, the Mobi provides the ultimate multi-input collab-
orative system for the interactive class room or the interactive meeting room.
The Interwrite Mobi system uses Radio Frequency (RF) wireless technolo-
gy to establish communication between the Tablet and the computer. The
Mobi comes with the RF module built into the Tablet, so the only installa-
tion required is the Workspace RF USB Hub on the computer.
Workspace Software
The operation of your Mobi is facilitated by the Interwrite Workspace soft-
ware. The software is installed as part of the process of establishing commu-
nication between the Mobi and the computer and is covered in this guide.
The Workspace software has four operational modes: Lesson Mode, Office
Mode (Windows only), Annotate Over Desktop Mode, and Mouse Mode.
An Interwrite Mobi, acting as an input device to the computer, remotely
controls the computer from anywhere in the room. When the Interwrite
DualBoard and a video projector are added, the computer’s desktop image
projects onto the Interwrite DualBoard’s surface, and the board communi-
cates as an input device to the computer.
In this environment, both the person at the Interwrite DualBoard and users
with Tablets seated around the room can interact with the presentation.
Installation Overview
This section describes what you will be
doing and the order in which you will
be doing it to facilitate the setup
of your Interwrite Mobi and its
preparation for use.

Workspace Modes
Interwrite Workspace is run in one of four operational modes, Lesson Mode,
Office Mode (Windows only), Annotate Over Desktop Mode, and Mouse
Mode.
Workspace Tools are categorized as Annotation Tools, Editing Tools, Page
Tools, Presentation Tools, Multimedia Tools, Navigation Tools, File Manage-
ment Tools, and Setup Tools. The Interwrite Workspace Help file describes
all of these tools in detail and can be accessed from the Workspace Menu.
Lesson
Lesson Mode makes the full set of Workspace tools available to create
lessons and presentations and to annotate the pages of those lessons and
presentations.
Office
Office Mode makes it possible to interact directly with the native files of the
Microsoft Office suite of products, PowerPoint, Word and Excel.
Annotate Over Desktop Mode
Annotate Over Desktop Mode allows you to annotate over running videos,
movies, TV shows, and Flash applications.
Mouse Mode
Mouse Mode allows you to use your Interwrite Pen II as a mouse to run ap-
plications and access the Internet.

Change the Pen tool’s line color and width to determine how it will af-
fect the look of your annotations. The best way to familiarize yourself
with all the different Interwrite Workspace tools and how they can be
used to enhance your presentations is to experiment with them.
Page Functions
Workspace provides the ability to move between pages within the Les-
son Window. Select the functions at the bottom of the screen to pan
a page, move between pages, use the Student Response System (SRS)
tool (optional), or discard annotations by throwing them in the trash.

Presentation Files
The presentation file is made up of your annotated pages. The Page Creation
and Capture tools are used to create the pages in the presentation file and
the Annotation Tools are used to create the annotations. The presentation
file is automatically saved as a .GWB file.
As soon as you select an Annotation Tool, an untitled presentation file is cre-
ated. Unless you give the file a name, it is automatically saved using today’s
date as the filename. (Multiple files created today have 01, 02, 03, etc., ap-
pended to the date name.)
An existing presentation file can be opened, its pages can be sorted, annota-
tions can be added to the existing pages, and new pages can be added to
the file. Your presentation will determine how each presentation file evolves.
For example, you can prepare a presentation file with blank maps for a geog-
raphy lesson. Or, you can capture and annotate each of the monthly earn-
ings spreadsheets as you review the past fiscal year during a budget meeting.
Or, you can run a PowerPoint Slide Show in Office Mode (Windows only),
where annotations added to the slides are saved in the native file.
Building the Presentation File
You can build your presentation file during your presentation, or you can
pre-build it, including the screen captures, images, graphs and text pages you
want to present. However you choose to do it, the process is the same.
Use the Page Creation Tools to add a blank, gridded, calendar, gradient, or
background image page. By default, Interwrite Workspace is in Autosave
mode, so your annotated pages are automatically saved as you build your
presentation file.
By default, the Capture tool is set to always capture the screen. When you
are in Mouse Mode and you select an Annotation Tool, the Pen tool, for
example, the image of your desktop is captured as a page in the Lesson Win-
dow. You can change the Capture setting by selecting the Preferences option
from the Workspace Menu. Click on the New Page Setup tab to display the
Capture options.
Click the Save tool to save the file using the default filename (today’s date),
or a name you type on the pop-up Onscreen Keyboard.
