It’s a good idea to keep your workspace clean and disinfected. In light of the recent concerns with COVID-19, we’re sharing these best practices for cleaning MFP screens and operation panels. Read on to learn which products to use, what NOT to do, and how you can operate your RICOH device touch-free with your smart phone or tablet.
WHAT TO AVOID
Do not use any cleaning products that contain:
• Bleach
• Ammonia
• Other harsh cleaning solvents
These products may cause the screen to become clouded, requiring replacement.
WHAT TO USE
Most types of disinfecting household wipes or sprays (like Lysol wipes, Windex, etc.) are OK to use. Using a spray bottle? DO NOT SPRAY DIRECTLY on the device’s surfaces or components, as getting liquid inside the device could damage the internal components. Instead, lightly moisten a cloth and gently wipe down the screen and panels.
• A lint-free, microfiber cloth is recommended
• Avoid paper towels as they may scratch
