| How do I take a screenshot? |

Screenshots are normally requested by Callcentric support for issues such as troubleshooting configuration problems or for LNP documentation. Depending on the operating system you are using there may be multiple ways to take a screenshot. Listed below are instructions for Windows and OSX user:
*Most users using Linux/Unix may have a plethora of options available to them which is why we do not list any single option or options. It may be simpler to lookup the instructions for the specific Linux/Unix based environment you are using.
We highly recommend saving your image in a more commonly used format such as .jpg, .jpeg or .png. Other less commonly used/supported formats, such as .gif, .tiff, .bmp and others, may be used, but may not be as supported or compatible in all situations.
Windows
in most Windows versions you would simply press the Prnt Scrn key, usually located at the top right of your keyboard. You would then paste the image into an image editing program, such as Microsoft Paint or Adobe Photoshop. Depending on what program you are using you may further edit the image and then save it in one of the recommended formats.
Windows Vista and Windows 7 also have a nifty tool called the Snipping Tool. This can also be used to Take screenshots. This is usually located in the start menu under Accessories->Snipping Tool
Mac OSX
NOTE: Pictures are automatically saved to your Desktop by default.
OSX has a variety of very useful methods for taking screenshots. One of them being the Grab utility, in the Utilities folder. There are also keyboard shortcuts which you may see listed below:
