　When I came across an interesting screen when I used the Internet to do a preliminary investigation of product planning or writing a manuscript, I was worried about a temporary bookmark when I wanted to see it later.If you have a page, you often take screenshots and save them.

　Screenshots that you want to refer to for a while may be uploaded to cloud storage and stored for a short period of time, sometimes uploaded to LINE by group sharing, or sent to related parties by email.

　In the world of smartphones that evolve with the explosion of the user, screenshots, which are often omitted as "screensh", are often called "screensh", as you know on Android smartphones, simultaneous pressing the "power button" and the "volume loss" button and depending on the model.Will capture the screen tap + gesture in various forms and save it as a photo image.

The PRTSC key for shooting a ska with haste was already on the IBM PC announced in 1981

　I think there are many readers who know, but the historic "Screen Capture World" was the first thing that started from a personal computer world.The keyboard on the IBM PC, which appeared nearly 40 years ago in 1981, already existed as a "PRTSC" (Print SCREEN) key next to the number key "1".

　At that time, the main purpose was to print out the current image on the screen with a printer, but this PRTSC key is always installed on the current Windows PC keyboard based on the IBM PC, and recently many users.Is used to store the current screen image in a graphic image in storage.

　It's been 35 years since the Windows era, and the screen capture is an indispensable operation in the Windows environment and a hobby, and a mechanism that can be more expanded in combination with keys other than PRTSC.Many apps have appeared.However, the keys that are still the core elements are "PRTSC" as 40 years ago.

About 1.Since it has a 8m USB cable, the distance from the PC to the floor installed on the desk will be OK.

　First, insert the USB plug on the main unit into the USB port of the PC, place the pedal on the floor, and when the screenshot is required, just step on the foot pedal with your feet and save the screen image on the clipboard on the computer.。If you look at the image you are actually using, it looks like a PC has become a desktop electric sewing machine.

　Of course, in order to be able to take screenshots just by stepping on the foot pedal, it is necessary to introduce the setting software on the included 8cm CD to the computer, but the package surface says "Windows 10 compatible".Nevertheless, the configuration software in the attached 8cm CD was impossible to install on Windows 10 due to errors.
