Sorry, that would be PNG.  If you want to use what's already on your PC, 
get a good image on your PC screen and take a screen capture.  Open MS 
Paint and paste.  Save as type PNG.  Bob's your uncle.

If your schematic is poor on the screen I guess you are printing off a 
full page and the resolution of your screen is not adequate.  Then you 
need a printing utility.  As someone else pointed out saving as SVG 
format is an option that will work for vector drawings while PNG works 
for every type of image I've ever wanted to save.
