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 the
input sensitivity. (page B-14)
• 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.
