Note

• The operation keys of this machine are

capacitive touch sensors. Operate the keys by
directly touching them with your finger.
The response of the keys varies according to the
user. The pressure exerted on the keys does not
affect the response of the keys.

• Since the operation keys react differently

depending on the user, adjust the setting for
“Adjusting input sensitivity for operation keys” on
page B-16.

• When using an electrostatic touch pen, make

sure that its point is 8 mm or more. Do not use a
touch pen with a thin point or a unique shape.
