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.
