Item Count (N-Count)
This feature counts the number of items in
calculated on an invoice. The 8125 has
intelligent item count, meaning the calculator
knows the difference between correcting an
error or an intentional addition of a negative
after entry of 3 and depression of the + key
that 3 should have been 4, the operator would
simply touch minus which takes out the 3.
The operator could then enter 4, press plus
and then total. The total is 7. The item count
is 3. Certain calculators have attempted to
provide intelligent item count. They may have
intelligent item count. It increments the count
for positive entries and decrements the count
for negative entries. It is easy to see that this
entries legitimately made.
Automatic Averaging
From the discussion of Item count above,
automatic averaging provides the ability to
divide the total by the number of items to
determine the average for the items. This
feature is of little use, if as described above
the item count is apt to be incorrect. Intelligent
Item count for the 8125 makes automatic
averaging worry free.
result. If the decimal selector was set at 6 for
example and the number of whole digits (on a
12 digit display) was 8, the decimal point would
be shifted to show 8 whole digits and only 4
decimal places in the answer. If a unit were not
created and the operator would have to move
the decimal selector to accommodate the
result.
The 7100 series, Classic, Pro and 8125 are
that if the result of a calculation would yield
zero, when displayed at the current decimal
setting, the decimal point will shift to the left
For example, if the decimal selector were set
at 2 and one attempted to divide 2 by 625,
the answer would (for most calculators) be
zero. For the 8125 the decimal shifts to the left
automatically so the actual result 0.0032 can
be displayed.
Extended Capacity
The 8125 also features Extended Capacity.

exceeds the capacity of the calculator, the

force the operator to clear such conditions
before proceeding. Again, more manual and
mental effort in such calculators.
