Maybe SwissMicros next project should be high resolution IR inkjet printer.
Just save a screenshot of your lcd display, transfer it to your PC, then print it from there.
This way you’ll always have hard and soft copies of that image, without needing to dump it or a printer.
This is much more straightforward and easier than developing an IR printer.

Now, if you could just assign “saving the screen to an image” to a blank key, instead of going through the menus,
This would be the ultimate in screen dump utilities.

Which menus? To save a screenshot of the LCD you just have to press simultaneously Shift + DISP.

Mmm, but it's not programmable and not as portable as printing to the IR printer. Not for my use anyway.

My bad. I was thinking of the load/save program menu.
I keep forgetting about Shift+Disp.
