6.12 Taking a Bitmap Capture of a Current Screen
The Snapshot option enables you to take a screen capture of the current
screen in bitmap format (.bmp) for printing or display or storage in a
Windows-based PC. To take a “snapshot” of the screen:
1. From the Meter menu, scroll to the Snapshot entry and press [ENTER].
2. Another menu opens with three entries: Off, To Printer and To File.
Scroll to the desired entry and press
[ENTER].
Note: An icon of a printer (for printing capture) or a camera (for file
capture — see page 16) appears at the far right of the status tray,
indicating that you have activated the Snapshot option. Figure 76 on
page 112 shows a screen with the Snapshot option activated.
3. To capture a screen, press the “.” (decimal) button in the lower left
corner of the keypad twice. The meter beeps, indicating that it has made
a screen capture.
The program now varies, depending on whether you selected printer or file
capture.
• If you selected To Printer, the PT878 shows a message indicating that
its infrared sensor is looking for a receiving printer. (If the sensor
spots no printer, a window appears indicating that it cannot find a
device. If it spots more than one compatible infrared device within its
range, it asks you to select the desired device.) It transmits the
capture to the printer once it has made a connection.
• If you selected To File, the captured file appears as “Screen 0X.bmp”
in the Drive Manager (see page 102). To transfer the file to a PC,
follow the instructions in Transferring a File to a PC on page 104.
