- Use this page to configure the following Recorder defaults:
- : Recorder behavior that requires a PRINTSCREEN to capture a screenshot and another PRINTSCREEN to capture the associated action. Instructional text guides the user through the recording process when the Recorder is launched in Manual mode.
- Manually record screenshots
- : Default Recorder behavior that requires a PRINTSCREEN to start the recording process and a PRINTSCREEN to end the recording process. All frames and actions (with the exception of point events) that occur between the two PRINTSCREENS are recorded.
- Automatically record screenshots
- Tip:
- : As you record a topic, the appearance of some screens in the target application may change after a certain amount of time has elapsed. For example, some menus expand to display additional options after the mouse pointer hovers over the menu for a few seconds. To capture the correct screenshot, you can set a delay time between hiding the Recorder and capturing the screen.
- Time in seconds to hide recorder window before screen capture

If the PRINTSCREEN key is difficult or inconvenient for you to use, you can change the Recorder screenshot key. You can use any of the function keys, or a combination of any of the function keys (F1 through F12) and the ALT key, CTRL key, and/or SHIFT key.
