Printing Screens

There are several software applications available to capture and print a screen image.  Using Microsoft Windows, you must first capture the screen, and then paste it into an application with a print feature.

Directions:

1.  Display the screen (or window) you want to print.

2.  Press the [Print Scrn/SysRq] key on your keyboard, which copies an image of the screen to the Windows clipboard.
Tip:  The [Print Scrn/SysRq] key is located next to the [Scroll Lock] key in the top row of most keyboards.

3.  Copy the contents of the clipboard into a word processor program using the Paste function.  You can use programs such as Microsoft Word or WordPad.
Tip:  To start WordPad on most Windows-based computers:

a.  Click the [Start] button on the Taskbar.

b.  Click Accessories.

c.  Click WordPad.

4.  Print the document.

Tip:  In Word or WordPad, click Print from the File menu.
