I’ve been wondering about best practices for maintaining our stenotype machines. Some colleagues recommend cleaning them every week, while others say once a month is sufficient. What’s your routine for maintenance, and do you have any tips for troubleshooting common issues with the software that often accompany these machines?
And i’d say cleaning it every couple of weeks is a good rule, kind of like changing your car’s oil. It might seem like overkill at first, but it keeps things running smoothly — no one wants to feel like their machine’s driving on a flat tire! Do you ever find that certain types of ink cause more issues?
I think cleaning it every couple of weeks is a smart move — like flossing your teeth, a little upkeep goes a long way! If you start noticing keys sticking, that might be a sign to up your cleaning game. @nathaniel_lee92, do you use any specific tools for cleaning?
