Clicking and swiping on the touch screen of a touch POS machine during daily checkout leaves fingerprints behind. If the screen is not cleaned regularly, it may become harder to view the displayed information and can interfere with operation. Therefore, cleaning the touch screen is an essential part of maintaining the touch POS machine. UIPOS provides a detailed guide to help you clean the touch screen of your touch POS machine correctly:
1. Use a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. Avoid using paper towels or wiping with your sleeve, as these can scratch the screen. Prepare a cleaning solution free from alcohol or ammonia. If no cleaning solution is available, warm water can be used as an alternative.
2. Before cleaning, ensure the touch POS machine is powered off and disconnected from the power supply. It helps prevent liquid from seeping into the device, which could cause a short circuit or other damage.
3. First, use a clean microfiber cloth to gently wipe the dust and dirt on the screen surface. If there is dirt on the screen that is not easy to wipe off, you can use a slightly damp microfiber cloth to gently wipe the screen surface in a circular motion and finally use a dry and clean microfiber cloth to wipe the screen surface.
Regularly cleaning the touch screen ensures its sensitivity and clarity, improving the overall user experience. UIPOS recommends cleaning the screen daily in large supermarkets, while smaller establishments may reduce the cleaning frequency based on usage.
