ViewSonic VB-PEN-004 Active Stylus Pen with Page Flipper and Spotlight for ViewBoard IFP62 and IFP70 Series

The ViewSonic VB-PEN-004 is a purpose-built active stylus designed to unlock the full potential of ViewBoard IFP62 and IFP70 series interactive displays. This multi-function tool goes beyond simple writing; it elevates presentations, lessons, and collaborative sessions with a dedicated page-flip button and a spotlight feature that lets you highlight what matters most in real-time. Engineered for smooth precision and intuitive control, the VB-PEN-004 helps teachers, presenters, and team members engage audiences more effectively, while keeping the focus squarely on content rather than on setup. Whether you are annotating a diagram, flipping through slides, or drawing attention to a key detail, this pen delivers fluid performance that feels natural in your hand and effortless on screen.

• Precision writing and annotation on ViewBoard panels. The VB-PEN-004 provides accurate input for handwriting, diagrams, notes, and quick edits on the IFP62 and IFP70 series. Its responsive tip delivers smooth line quality that mirrors your natural handwriting speed, so ideas flow freely without lag or jitter. Perfect for classrooms, lecture halls, and collaboration spaces, this stylus preserves the confidence of pen-and-paper workflows while taking advantage of digital capabilities.
• Dedicated Page Flipper for seamless presentations. Move through slides and document pages with a single press of the dedicated page-flip button. This feature is tailored for educators and presenters who need reliable, on-the-fly navigation during lectures or demonstrations. The page-flipper keeps your attention on the audience, not on your device, ensuring a professional, uninterrupted flow from start to finish.
• Spotlight button to emphasize critical content in real time. Draw attention to important figures, terms, or sections with a built-in spotlight function. By activating the spotlight, you can highlight areas of the screen without altering the underlying content, making it easier for students and participants to follow along. This is especially useful in larger rooms or online sessions where visibility and clarity matter.
• Ergonomic design for comfortable long-term use. The VB-PEN-004 is sculpted for a natural grip, balanced weight, and comfortable handling during extended teaching or brainstorming sessions. Its size and balance reduce hand fatigue, enabling you to annotate, illustrate, and navigate with precision from the first minute to the final slide. A thoughtfully designed stylus means you can stay engaged without distraction.
• Designed for direct compatibility with ViewBoard IFP62 and IFP70 series. This pen is purpose-built to integrate with ViewSonic’s flagship interactive displays. No complicated setup or third-party adapters are required—just pick up the pen, place the tip to the screen, and start writing, annotating, or presenting. The VB-PEN-004 is built to work in concert with the software and firmware of the IFP62 and IFP70 lines, delivering a cohesive, reliable user experience across your classroom or meeting space.

how to install ViewSonic VB-PEN-004

Getting started with the VB-PEN-004 is straightforward. Follow these steps to ensure a smooth and reliable experience with your ViewBoard IFP62 or IFP70 series display:

• Power on your ViewBoard IFP62 or IFP70 display and confirm that the system firmware is up to date for best compatibility with the VB-PEN-004. If a firmware update is available, install it following the on-screen prompts or your IT administrator’s guidance.

• Detach any protective caps or covers from the VB-PEN-004 if present in the packaging. Inspect the nib tip to ensure it is clean and free of debris before first use.

• Hold the pen in a comfortable grip and gently bring the tip into contact with the screen. The active input should respond immediately, enabling you to write, annotate, or navigate without perceptible lag.

• To engage the page flip function, press the dedicated page-flip button on the pen and use a deliberate, steady press to move forward or backward through slides. Practice a few taps during a dry run to become fluent with your presentation pace.

• To highlight content, press the Spotlight button and drag the pen across the screen. When finished, release the button to return to normal annotation mode. If you need to adjust brush thickness or color, use the on-screen tools or the ViewBoard software’s pen settings to customize your experience.

• If the nib wears over time, replace it with compatible nibs available through ViewSonic or authorized distributors. Replacing the nib helps maintain precision and smooth ink flow on the screen.

Tip: While using the VB-PEN-004, avoid pressing too hard on the screen. A light but deliberate touch usually yields the most accurate lines and annotations. If your screen is set to a specific sensitivity level, you can adjust it within the ViewBoard software to match your writing style and ensure smooth strokes. For educators and presenters, practicing a quick routine—write a few lines, flip a slide, then highlight a key point—can help you deliver a more confident and engaging session from start to finish.
