Making screenshots of the Emulator
There are two kinds of screen shots you can make. For a Panel screen shot, simply press the
PRINT SCREEN button which will save the currently displayed screen of RC5000 Emulator in a
Windows bitmap file. RC5000 Emulator will tell you the full path of the file it saves (the screen
shots usually go into directory C:\ProntoScreens). RC5000 Emulator saves up to 100 screen-
shots before it starts the same filenames again.
You can also make a screen shot that includes the image of the remote control. If you plan to
print this image, follow these ten steps to get optimum print quality.
