PRS-350 screen prints?

BeccaPrice · 09-08-2011, 09:53 PM

for a writing project for a class, I need screen prints of how a set piece of text will look on both a large and a smaller ereader screen. I know how to take screen prints with my Kindle (alt-G) - is there a similar way to take a screen print from my Sony 350? (it's currently on loan to a friend, so I can't look at the user's guide to see whether this is mentioned in it)

There is no way with the original fw.
With PRS+ you can bind Screenshot to a certain key.
Screen-cap will be saved in JPG format. Therefore the charaters will "bleed" a bit, not giving a correct impression of screen-quality if printed or projected with a beamer.

what is PRS+ and is it within the realms of this forum to get instructions on how to install it?

BeccaPrice,
PRS+ is a firmware-addon for Sony PRS-505/300/600/x50
Long thread here in the sticky-part of the Sony-Dev-Subforum:here
The project-page (at google-code)
Some links to recent post why to use PRS+

thanks for all the links - it sounds like PRS+ is a great addon to my 360. is there a user's guide somewhere that will tell me how to set up screen prints?

Unfortunately not,
but after installing PRS+2.0.12 beta with the "all in one Setup.exe" from the project page (you will NOT lose any of your books, notes a.s.o)
Goto Settings
PRS+ Settings
Key Bindings
Volume-Buttons
choose e.g. Volume+ (like me)
Global (will work in menus and while book-reading)
Utilities
Take a Screenshot

Press the Home-Button
Again select Settings
PRS+ Settings
Screenshot
Choose where to save the image (for your 350 only IM-Internal-Memory is possible)
Choose if a progress-indicator should be shown

Press Volume+ and a screenshot will be saved in IM
Connect the reader to your PC/Mac copy the jpg-file
You are done
