Capturing SPS-500 Screens

Equipment Required


SPS-500 Terminal

Screen Capture Procedure

1. Set P Mode System Option-General Function Option #13 "Silent Key Depression" to NO.
2. Connect a USB Keyboard to one of the USB ports.
3. Insert a SD Memory Card into the SD slot at the front/inside of the printer compartment, or insert a
USB memory stick in an open USB port.
4. Navigate to the screen you wish to capture.
5. Press the F5 key on the keyboard. An audible "beep" is heard when the key is released. After a delay
that may last several seconds, the screen capture confirmation dialog box momentarily displays and
closes. Do not proceed until the confirmation displays.
6. If you wish to capture multiple screens, press F5 for each screen you wish to capture. Be sure to wait
until the confirmation dialog displays before attempting another screen capture or operation.
7. When you have completed screen captures and wish to save them to the SD memory card, press and
release the F9 key on the keyboard (an audible "beep" is heard when the key is released).
Alternatively, press and release the F10 key to copy the screen capture to a USB memory stick. The
copy dialog box momentarily displays and closes. All captured screens are copied to the
sps2000capture folder on the memory card. (If you are saving screen captures to the SD/USB for the
first time, the SPS-500 will create the sps500capture folder automatically.) After captures are copied
to the SD card, press F7 on the keyboard to erase the captures from the ECR memory.
Screens are automatically saved in the .png image format and named using the following convention:
20091017054251.png
Year
6-digit time of capture: HHMMSS
Date
8. Remove the SD/USB from the SPS-500 terminal and insert at the PC. You can copy the captured
screens to your hard drive, or insert them as needed into Microsoft Office documents.
