Left-Zero Credit Field
To indicate a credit field, the operator keys in the
information just as in a debit field. To start the read-
out, punch-out operation, the operator presses the
dash (-) key instead of the left-zero key. Pressing the
dash key causes a credit ( 11 punch) in the units col-
umn to be punched above the units digit.
1-11
