If it’s already open but powered off, push the power button in the upper-right corner of the keyboard. Be aware that just closing the lid does NOT turn it off, and will slowly drain the battery. To power the Chromebook down, either use the “Shut down” button in the lower-right menu, or push and hold the Power button at the upper-right of the keyboard. 2) Connecting to the Internet Chromebooks are basically just internet browsing devices. If you start up a school Chromebook and get the dinosaur screen - “Can’t connect to internet” - turning it off and turning it back on will usually get it to connect. 3) Logging in & out Chromebooks require a slightly different log on than “regular” computers. Users need to enter their entire school email address (not just initial and last name) and their regular school password.

  • Printkey-Pro-V105-Help
    Intro PrintKey-Pro is a system tray-based program that captures all or any part of the picture on your monitor screen with the press of the Print Screen key (or any other available Hotkey combination that you configure). Adjust the captured picture's brightness, contrast, color balance, size, color invert, and convert to gray scale or black and white. Edit the image using the image editor of your choice. Pictures can be printed or saved to your assigned folder in many formats: BMP, GIF (non LZW), ICO, JPG, JPG2K, PCX, PDF, PNG or TIF. PrintKey-Pro can capture the full screen, the active window, the client area, or any rectangular or circular area selected, including or without showing the cursor. Text or free hand drawing can be inserted in the selected area. The picture can be previewed, dated, and may include system information, user information as well as composed footer text before printing. PrintKey-Pro v1.05 can be used only with Windows® 2000, Windows® 2003, Windows® XP or Windows® Vista. Since Compaq® Laptops or Desktops use the Print Screen key for other internal purposes, another key must be used to capture the Active or Desktop window. The 'Pause' key or a combination with the Pause Break key (for example, Ctrl+Pause Break) may be entered in the PrintKey-Pro Hotkey Menu to implement a shortcut compatible with PrintKey-Pro. Service Pack 2 or higher is required with Windows® 2000. Service Pack 1 or higher is required with Windows® XP. Microsoft service packs Faq General PrintKey-Pro v1.01 through v1.04 is compatible with Microsoft Win95, Win95B, Win98, Win98 SE, WinNT4.0, Win2000, WinME, WinXP and Win2003.

  • 3 Ways to Create Screenshots on the Laptop
    3 ways to create screenshots on the laptop In this guide you will be introduced to three very simple ways of capturing your current laptop screen in a digital photo - in other words, how to make a screenshot. 1. The first option would be to use the print screen button on the laptop. Depending on your laptop, this key is usually located next to the F12 key on the top row of keys on your laptop. It is labelled Print or Print Screen (on a QWERTZ keyboard it might be called Druck. Sometimes it is abbreviated as PrtSc). Perhaps its keys have a double function, and the Print function is under a different function. Just take a closer look at the key row. By pressing this button once, you create an image of your current screen, which is stored in your clipboard. This means that you can paste this image into your Word document, PowerPoint, or other program by pressing CTRL and the letter V key. If your pushbutton has two functions (just like other function keys such as F1, F2, and so on), you must press Fn and Print to take a picture. If you are using a laptop with a Windows key, the key combination Windows key and Print allows you to take a picture of your current screen. 2. The second option is to use the snipping tool, which is automatically installed on most laptops. The snipping tool can also take a picture of your entire screen, but additionally there is the possibility to capture only certain areas digitally or to edit the screenshots.
