Save a screenshot to your Switch. Then open the sharing options and select Send to Smartphone.
The Switch will display two QR codes, which you can scan with the Instax app. Doing that will instantly transfer your screenshot to your phone.

From there, you can edit the photo: zoom in, change the orientation, or even adjust things like brightness.
Hit the print button, and the printer will spit out your photo in a matter of seconds, much like a Polaroid camera.
Your photo will take a few minutes to develop.
