Screen Capture
Switcher users can take screen captures of the Synergy panel menus. The switcher saves the screen
capture as a 16K bitmap file, which you can then import into other applications on your computer.
Use the following procedure to capture an image of the large menu display on the control panel:
1. Insert a storage device into the Synergy control panel as follows:
• Insert a standard 1.44 MB high-density floppy disk into the disk drive of the
Synergy Switcher.
OR
• Insert a USB key into the USB port of the Synergy Switcher.
2. Navigate to the menu you wish to capture.
3. Locate the Store column of the Global Memory Group .
4. Simultaneously press FADE RATE and ALL .
The LED on the floppy or USB drive will come on, the current menu will freeze, and a
pop-up message appears indicating that you have saved a SCREENXX.BMP file to the
storage device. You can save from 00-99 files in sequence on a floppy disk.

5. Eject the storage device from the switcher.
6. On your computer, insert the storage device and open the files in any graphics
application that supports bitmap files to view, rename, and reformat the menu screen
captures.
This completes the procedure to capture an image of the large menu display on the control panel.
Note
You must have the USB Removable Media Drive option installed in
order to save a screen capture to a USB key.
Caution Do NOT remove the floppy disk or USB key from the switcher before
the LED on the disk drive or USB port goes out. Doing so may destroy
the data on your floppy disk or USB key, as well as the data on the next
one you insert into the switcher.
