Finger

Settings > Multitasking & Gestures > Swipe Finger from Corner - set to ON

Pencil

Settings > Apple Pencil > [Pencil Gestures] Bottom Left | Right Corner - set as required

Now that you have enabled the corner swipe, you can easily capture a screenshot with just your finger. Just swipe diagonally from the lower-left or lower-right corner of the screen towards the centre; this will immediately trigger the screenshot.

If you have an older model iPad that doesn’t support the corner-swipe gesture, you still have the option to use Assistive Touch - enabled from Accessibility settings. This can be enabled as follows:

Settings > General > Accessibility > Touch > AssistiveTouch > 

• Assistive Touch - set to ON
• Customise Top Level Menu > [Tap An Icon To Change] select Custom - from the options list select Screenshot, then Done (upper-right).

Once enabled, to take a screenshot, tap the floating menu button - and tap the Screenshot icon

On an iPad with a Home button, the procedure is slightly different:
