Printing Screens

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

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:

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

2. Click Accessories.

3. Click WordPad.

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