Performing Screen Captures

When you are connected to a mobile device through a Remote Control session, you can capture screen images from the mobile device.

Before you can take screen captures using Remote Control, you must select the method by which you want to capture the screen image. You can capture screen shots using three different methods:

• File. Use this option to save the image to a specified file. Once you capture the screen image, you can specify where you want to save the file.

• Clipboard. Use this option to place the image on the clipboard.

• One-click. Use this option to click once and send the screen capture to a previously specified file format. The file format must be chosen in the Configure dialog box. The file name will be automatically created based on the current time and date.

You can configure screen capture methods from the Standard Viewer. You can also configure screen capture methods when you configure the Client. For more information, see Editing the Remote Control Package.

To configure the screen capture method:

1  In the Standard Viewer, select File > Configure.

The Configure dialog box opens.

2  In the Screen Capture area, select the method you want to use when performing screen captures.

3  Click OK.

The Configuration Data Change dialog box appears. This dialog box indicates that you changed something from the original profile configuration.

• If you want to use your updated changes, but do not want to update the configuration file, select the Use New Configuration option.

• If you want to use your updated changes and update the configuration file to reflect them, select the Use New Configuration and Update config file option.

4  Click OK.

The screen capture method you configured is now enabled.

To perform a screen capture:

1  In the Device tab, navigate to the screen view of the device you want to capture.

2  Click the Camera toolbar icon.

The image is saved according to the screen capture method you configured in the Configure dialog box.
