"Display Print " button from Studio ME

3 posts in this topic

Hi guys,

I am trying to screenshot one of HMI page.

Does FactoryTalk ME have this function?

I have found "Display Print" button and i am not sure if this button does what i am looking for.

If the button does screenshot, where does it save the screeshots??

Thanks :)

I have never used a display print function in Studio but I have had to get screen shots before.  If you have Studio, then you can run in test mode on the PC and just take a screen shot of that.

Like PLCMentor said, if you're developing a project in Studio and want a screen shot of a display, open the display and use your laptop's print screen function to take the screen shot.

If, on the other hand, you're wanting an operator to be able to screen shot a display on the HMI at runtime, you must install a "Display Print" on that display. You'll find that button in Advanced Objects. However, this button literally causes a hard copy of the display to be printed. You will have to refer to user manual for the particular HMI you're using to get instructions on how to install a printer.
