Print Screen
Screen capture key
Print Screen is a computer keyboard key that captures an image of the current screen display.
Pressing it copies the screen contents to the clipboard, allowing you to paste the image into documents or image editors.
On some systems, it saves directly to a file.
Often abbreviated PrtSc or PrtScn.
Hit Print Screen and paste it into an email so I can see what you're seeing.
