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 20.
• 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.
