How to Use Print Screen

to Save an Image from your Screen

1. Find or create the image. If you

are unable to right click on the

image and select “save as”, you

will need to use the “print

screen” key on your keyboard.

2. After pressing the

“print key”

button, another

screen will appear

over your current

screen. The title

bar will show that

this is the print

screen software at

work.

3. Maximize the Print

Key window so the

whole image is

visible. Choose the

rectangle button.

Once you click the

rectangle button,

the cursor will

become a +. You

will see your

original screen.

Place the + at the

top left corner of

the image, then

click and drag to

“catch” the entire

image within the

dotted rectangle

without unclicking

until it is captured.

Then click your

mouse.

4. Next a Print Key

screen will pop up

to enable you to

save it. Select the

“Save” button.

Then name and

save the file to

your preferred

folder. You can also

select the file type

if you wish. A .jpg

or .jpeg file is a

good one to use. IF

you don’t see this

screen, look at the

bottom task bar.

Sometimes it

minimizes instead

of popping up.

Click on the Print

Key where it is

minimized and it

will pop up.
