Sur les claviers des ordinateurs IBM PC et compatibles, [la touche Impression Écran assure] l'envoi à l'imprimante d'une copie de l'écran. Cette fonction n'est effective que si l'écran est en mode texte ou en mode graphique CGA (mode graphique couleur ayant la plus basse résolution). Elle ne fonctionne pas dans les autres modes graphiques. Certains programmes emploient la touche Impression Écran pour obtenir un cliché de l'écran et le stocker sur un fichier. Ces programmes fonctionnent, en général correctement, quel que soit le mode graphique choisi. 1, record 1, French, - touche%20Impression%20%C3%89cran
