and is ordinarily in the context of adding dollars
and cents. The Ultimate also has the ability to
add decimal amounts other than dollars and
cents. If for example we were adding fractional
weights at 4 decimal places, we could add such
amounts without pressing the decimal key.
Nickel Rounding
Originally designed for the European market,
nickel rounding is provided for on the Ultimate.
In the event the US eliminates the penny from
the monetary system, nickel rounding can be
selected. Doing so would round all amounts up
to the nearest nickel automatically. An answer
of 2.22 for example would now become 2.25.
Two Column Addition
Automatic two column addition provides
the ability to add two columns of figures
simultaneously. For example, if one had a
stack of invoices and wanted to add the
invoice amount and the amount of tax at the
same time, two column addition would enable
that facility. Two column addition on the Ultimate
further formats the tape for right column and
left column. This provides for easy audit of the
tape and associates the tax amount with the
invoice amount for example. The Ultimate also
provides powerful automatic calculations not
elsewhere seen on any calculator.
Automatic Incremental Identifier
The automatic incremental identifier is useful
in numerous applications. This feature allows
the user to enter a beginning number using the
ref # key. Each subsequent amount added for
example will be identified with an incremental
number. Again a stack of invoices starting
with Invoice number 101. Each addition will
increment the invoice number.

Running Subtotal on the Printer
The feature enables a running subtotal to print
on the tape after each entry is added. This fea-
ture is ideal for bank statement reconciliation
and when combined with the feature automatic
incremental identifier causes the check number,
amount of the check and declining balance to
print given the entry of the check amount only
for example.
Paper Saver Mode
The Ultimate as a default position prints the total
and advances the paper above the tear off knife
where it is easily read and facilitates tearing off
the paper tape. In the event one wishes to
reduce the amount of spacing between totals,
the paper saver mode can be set.
Change Sign
Change sign reverses the mathematical sign of
the number.
Independent Memories
Most calculators have an independent memory.
For a memory to be functional, it should have
four keys associated with it, i.e., M+, M-, M
subtotal and M total. The new Ultimate has (2)
4-key independent memories.
Currency Conversion
The Ultimate has the ability to convert 5
currencies. This includes a "home" currency
with 4 others.
Automatic Tax Keys
Up to 6 tax rates may be stored on the Ultimate.
