It is the department’s responsibility to develop a plan (in coordination with the building superintendent) for touch point cleaning and social distancing guidelines around your copiers and printers. Please include a plan for copiers and printers in your preparation for reopening.
Cleaning your Copiers
Like other shared equipment, printers and copiers should be cleaned periodically. NEVER spray cleaning products directly on the device! Spray cleaners will cause extensive damage to the control panel; repairs will not be covered by the manufacturer’s service contract.
Please follow the guidelines set by Yale Environment Health and Safety for the proper cleaning of your copiers and printers.
