  2. Press “Spacebar“.
  3. Click the window you would like to capture.

Capture Section of Screen

  2. The mouse pointer turns into a cross. Click and drag the box over an area of the screen to capture that area.

Printing the Screenshot File

  1. Screenshot files are saved to the Finder. Locate the screenshot file on the Finder. Select it (Don’t open it).
  2. With the file highlighted, select “File” > “Print“.
