On Android, it is usually possible to take a screenshot by pressing the Volume Down and Power buttons. A shortcut can also be added to the menu that pops up when long-pressing the Power button. These options only work on Replicant when [[Graphics|llvmpipe is enabled as renderer]]. Furthermore, there doesn't seem to exist an app in F-Droid that makes it possible to take screenshots on Replicant when llvmpipe is not enabled.

Regardless of which graphics renderer is enabled, it is possible to take screenshots when the device is connected to a PC with a USB cable. The following steps explain the procedure.
