Hi Star Gazer, Check out the list of notes below: Note: Screen Shade is only available in Windows 10 & JAWS2018.
Original Message From: Sharon S Hi all, I am running windows 10, Jaws 2018 on an Acer laptop. I went to show something I was working on to my mum the other day, but she couldn't see anything on the screen. My brother had a look at it tonight while I was out and said it doesn't look like a hardware issue it looks more likely a software issue. When mum told me this I remembered the Jaws screen shade. I don't recall turning it on and I have no idea how to find out if it is on or not. I have spent some time in the different menu options tonight but can't find any reference to it. Could someone please tell me how this is turned on and off so I can see if this is the problem. I am thinking more and more this could be the problem since this is a brand-new laptop so there shouldn't be any hardware issues. If it isn't Jaws, then I will have to contact Acer helpdesk and see what they suggest. Thanks for any help. From Shaz. From: Geovanni bahena Insirt space, then tap your print screen key. You can also click you're right mouse button and it will also turn it off. Geovanni From: Jeff Christiansen Use insert spacebar then print screen Jeff From: Dennis Long insert space and the print screen key. Dennis From: Shai Hello, The most effective means I have found for confirming whether the screen shade is on or off is to go into the quick settings menu with an insert plus v or capslock plus v if you are using the laptop layout and in the search field type shade. Next, down arrow once and JAWS should state whether it is checked or not if it is pressing the space bar on it to uncheck it and then tabbing to the ok button should disable it. Hope this helps Shai From: Jason White Insert+Space, PrintScreen By the way, a search on Google for "JAWS screen shade" would have returned this information straight away in the first search result.

I have a dell laptop. Thank you for trying, though.

One way you can find it now is to press JAWS key+1 on the number row above the letters to invoke JAWS' key identifier mode. Then look for the three keys that normally reside together at the top right of the keyboard. On my keyboard, the one on the left is the printscreen key, and JAWS will verbalize its name for you. to get out of key identifier mode, press JAWS key+1 again. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List <jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com> On Behalf Of Teresa Arroyo Llosa Sent: Thursday, March 08, 2018 10:47 AM To: Jaws Users List <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Subject: [JAWS-Users] Fw: Printscreen Hi Derick, Thank you for your response. From what I understood from your message, is F11 the printscreen key? I tried it, but it doen’t work. I have Jaws 16.

When trying to use the jas key senssitive help it doesn’t say anything when pressing some of the function row keys, or when combining the Fn key with the function row keys. Thank you in advance.
