Operating Controls and Features
1. Decimal Selector. Allows selection of
up to seven decimal settings +, F, 0, 2, 3,
4, 6. For example, when set at 2, all totals
and results will contain two decimal places;
at 0 no decimals will be printed or
displayed. In Floating (F) decimal setting,
results are expressed at maximum decimal
accuracy. When working with dollars and
cents, the Decimal Selector can be set at
Add Mode (+), eliminating the need to
enter the decimal point.
2. D/PD/N Switch. Allows the choice of
operating in Display only (D position), or
both Print and Display without N Count (PD
position), or both Print and Display with N
Count (N position). Changing from Display
only position to Print and Display position
will print the Accumulator subtotal amount
(with an audit of S) and the Grand Subtotal
amount (with an audit of GS).
When the Print Selector switch is in the "D"
position no printing takes place unless you
press the Non-Add/Date key.
While in the D position or PD position, N
Count is "OFF". In the N Count (N) position
every Plus, Minus, Memory Plus or Memory
Minus key depression is counted. The
Accumulator and its N Count may be
printed by depression of the Subtotal or
Total key. When either Memory Subtotal or
Memory Total is depressed, Memory N
Count will print. When the GT key is
depressed, the GT N count will print. N
Count is always printed left justified.
3. GT Switch. In the Neutral Mode " "
position, any entry made with the Plus or
Minus key is either added to or subtracted
from the Accumulator. The only memory
cleared upon depression of the Total key is
the Accumulator.
When this switch is in the "GT" position,
totals that result from depressing the Total
key will be added to the Grand Total
memory and the Accumulator memory will
be cleared.
4. Decimal Rounding Selector.
Determines how a calculation result is to be
rounded. In the ↓ position, the result will
automatically round down (truncation).
The 5/4 will select automatic roundoff. If
the last digit of the result that will be
printed and/or displayed upon rounding is
followed by a value of 0 to 4, the digit is
unchanged. If the last digit of the result
that will be printed and/or displayed upon
rounding is followed by a value of 5 to 9,
the digit is rounded up. In the ↑ position,
the result will automatically round up.
The setting of the Decimal Rounding
Selector does not have any affect when the
Decimal Selector switch is set to F. In this
case, digits beyond the 12 digit capacity are
dropped.
5. Numeric Key Pad. Enter numbers 0
thru 9 and a decimal point just as you
would write them. The entry will not be
printed until a function key is depressed.
6. Plus Key. Adds an amount to the
Accumulator. To add the same amount
more than one time (repeat addition), enter
that amount once and depress the Plus key
as many times as necessary.
7. Minus Key. Subtracts an amount from
the Accumulator. To subtract the same
amount more than once time (repeat
subtraction), enter that amount once and
depress the Minus key as many times as
necessary.
8. Total Key. Prints and/or displays then
clears the Accumulator.
9. Subtotal Key. Prints and/or displays
but does not clear the Accumulator.
10. Non-Add/Date Key. This key serves
two functions. First, it will print a live entry
as an identifier. Second, when the D PD N
selector switch is in the "D" position
(display only position), press # Date to
override the display only setting to print an
intermediate sequential calculation result.
To print a date (e.g. 7/1/01), enter the
month and depress the Decimal Point key,
the day and the Decimal Point key, and the
year and depress the Non-Add/Date key.
