How do I perform a screen print in HiCAMS?

Sometimes users want to have a printout of what is showing in the HiCAMS window but the keyboard's Print Scrn / SysRq button does not send the screen image directly to the printer. Users are unable to print a hard copy of some data that HiCAMS does not have a Standard Report for, or to save examples of errors they have encountered.

There are at least two ways to capture a screen print in HiCAMS.

Option One: Print the entire desktop

• When you want to print the entire desktop, have the information you want to print on your screen, and hit the button on your keyboard called Print Scrn / SysRq.This puts the image onto the clipboard.

• Next, open MicroSoft Word.

• Now paste the image into the open document. Either Right Click and select "Paste" or keyboard Ctrl-V. The image will be pasted into the Word Document. It can be further manipulated within the document.

Option Two: Print only the active window

• To capture just the active window such as an error message or pop-up window, hit Alt key plus the Print Scrn / SysRq key. Pasting is the same.

Note: The image can also be pasted into MicroSoft Paint.
