AQUOS BOARD: What’s New?: Overlay Mode

Barbara Mikrut (Media Developer/Sales Trainer):

Let me show you how overlay mode works in pen software. 3.0 on the new Sharp AQUOS Board. To enter overlay mode, you'll go down here and tap on this icon on the lower right of your screen. This is overlay mode. This is your whiteboard, so you can, if you tap that, you'll return to your existing screen and here you can add another whiteboard.

Mikrut taps on the first icon in the bottom right. The first option is overlay mode, the second is the whiteboard, and the third is to add another whiteboard.

But what we'll do here is tap on this button. It'll take us to the screen I had up on the desktop right underneath the whiteboard mode. So in this case, this is a construction blueprint for a home. My menu came with me and if I want to, I can write on the screen as I would in whiteboard mode. Let's use the color red and circle this.

Mikrut taps the first button (overlay mode), then selects a pen from the square menu.

Now, the great thing about this new feature is that I can save the background of this. I can show capture desktop image in background. So I will tap this, tap out and this screen has been captured down here.

Mikrut taps the second icon on the left, then the tools icon in the top right corner of the current overlay page thumbnail, then checks “Show captured desktop image in background.”

Now, in previous versions of pen software, all I could do was save one screen. But in 3.0 I can save multiple screens. If I tap here in this little plus sign, I get a new screen, a new overlay. As you see, the circle that I drew has disappeared.

Mikrut taps the plus icon next to the first overlay screen thumbnail at the bottom.

If I go back, let's say there's another image I want to write on. This is another construction blueprint. I can come back to my overlay mode and oh, oops, I think I wrote something that I don't like. I can just erase it with my palm. Let's choose a different color, maybe blue and a thicker pen. And I'll draw a rectangle here and say we want to make changes there.

Mikrut chooses a new pen in the square menu and draws on the blueprint.

I go back to my overlay mode screen here. Tap on settings and show the captured desktop image in the background. Let's exit that.

Mikrut repeats the process of tapping on the tools icon on the new overlay page thumbnail and checks the box again.

So if I tap this button here, this screen will show me all of my pages. So if you have 30 pages, you can see them all in one place.

Mikrut taps the second icon on the left to see all the pages.

And now I want to save these, I can go back to my square menu and tap the save button and I can save my work to a PDF. Let's save it to my documents, tap OK. And we'll use the name it created. Save.

So if I go to my documents and open that PDF, here is my work and I can scroll down with my pen, up and down. Switching between whiteboard mode and overlay mode is easy. Now, you can save multiple pages in overlay mode, all of your annotations and work in one place.
