On my Galaxy Tab4, there are two methods listed; one as Roger posted with 
the Power and Home buttons, and the other if Palm Motion is enabled in 
settings:
Put edge of your hand on the edge of the screen and swipe left to right (or 
right to left, depending on which hand you like better, and where you 
start).
In both scenarios, a white border will appear around the outside of the 
screen to let you know it has captured the screen. Mine also makes the 
"camera click."
