Using the keyboard
To capture a print screen of the entire screen, press the Fn + PRTSC
key. (This only applies to models with a 10-key keypad.)
To capture only the active window displayed, press Fn + ALT while
simultaneously pressing the PRTSC key.

Function keys
The function keys (not to be confused with the Fn key) are the 12
keys at the top of the keyboard.
(Sample Illustration) Function keys
F1 through F12 are called function keys because they execute
programmed functions when pressed. Function keys marked with
icons execute specific functions on the computer. For example,
F5 turns the touch pad ON/OFF. For more information, see
“Functions” on page 160.
