BEFORE STARTING

Read all instructions before use.
Remove the insulation tape and press the [RESET] button at the back of the calculator before use.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Do not use or leave the calculator under direct sunlight. Areas subject to rapid temperature changes, high humidity, dust and dirt should also be avoided.
Use a dry cloth to clean the casing of the unit. Do not use water or detergents.
Only use the printer when the paper roll is loaded.
Avoid using the calculator in places where there are iron filings, as this may affect the electrical circuits of the calculator.
Do not place anything on top of the machine, particularly on top of the printer mechanism.
Turn the calculator off before removing the plug from the electrical outlet.
In case of electrical fault (i.e. smoke), disconnect the plug from the electrical outlet immediately.
The outlet should be installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible.

INSTALLING PRINTING PAPER

Lift up the paper arm (Figure (1) ).

When inserting the paper, cut the edge of the paper as shown.

Place the new paper roll on the arm. The edge of the paper should be positioned as shown (Figure (2) ).

Standard calculator paper – Width: 2-1/4″ (57mm) / Diameter: 3-3/8″ (86mm)

Insert the paper into the slit at the back of the machine as indicated. (Figure (3) )
Turn the calculator on. Press the paper feed key [ ] to advance the paper (Figure (4) ).

REPLACING THE INK ROLLER (CP-13)

Note: Turn power switch off.

Remove the printer cover . (Figure (5) )
Hold the tab of the ink roller. Lift the ink roller out of the base. (Figure (6) )

To maintain clear printing, change the ink roller after about 8 rolls of printing paper have been used.

Insert the new ink roller into position. Push down on the center of the ink roller until it locks into place. (Figure (7) )
Replace the printer cover. (Figure (8) )

Use only the Ink Roller CP-13.

POWER ON/OFF / PRINT ON / ITEM COUNT / CURRENCY CONVERSION SELECTION

SWITCH

Turns calculator Off.

Turns calculator On. Entries and results will appear on the display, but will not be printed out.

Entries and results will appear on the display and will be printed out.

Set the switch to “ITEM” to print the number of times the and keys have been pressed (up to 999). The item count will be printed on the left hand side of the paper roll when the , , or keys are pressed.

Set the switch to “CONV” position to perform currency conversion calculation functions. Entries and result will appear on the display and printout.
– Set the switch to and enter the currency conversion rate and press , or to store the current rate.
- Press , or to recall the stored currency conversion rate.
– Press to convert currency figure displayed from , or to the .
– Press , or to convert displayed figure from to , or .

1 Specifying the Number of Decimal Places for Intermediate US Dollar Amounts. When you convert from one national currency to another, the calculator internally converts the original currency to US dollars. This conversion result is the “intermediate US dollar amount”. Next, the intermediate US dollar amount is converted to the target currency. The flow of the steps of the conversions will be shown on the printout. For such a calculation, you should use the following procedure to specify the number of decimal places for the intermediate US dollar amount. You can specify from 0 (2) to 9 decimal places, for a floating decimal point (F). The intermediate US dollar amount is rounded off to the number of decimal places you specify.
2 0 is displayed when F ( floating point) is set for the number of decimal places. F is the initial default setting.
3 For rates of 1 or greater, you can input up to six digits. For rates less than 1 you can input up to 8 digits, including 0 for the integer digit and leading zeros (though only 7 significant digits, counted from the left and starting with the first non-zero digit, can be specified).

DECIMAL POINT SELECTOR SWITCH

Used for designating the decimal point position (0, 1, 2, 3, 4) for calculated results.

+ (Add-Mode) – Addition and subtraction functions are performed with an automatic 2-digit decimal. It is convenient for currency calculations.

F (Floating Decimal point) – All effective numbers up to 12 digits are printed or displayed.

ROUNDING SWITCH

Used for round-up [ ] , round-off [5/4], or round-down [ ] to the pre-selected decimal digits in the result.

GRAND TOTAL / RATE SET SWITCH

GRAND TOTAL
When the calculations are performed with the GT switch set to “ON”, the totals are accumulated in the grand total memory. Each time is pressed, the subtotal number is printed with the symbols G+. When is pressed, the intermediate grand total is printed with the symbols G . Press successively to get the grand total followed by the symbols G .

RATE SET
Set switch to “RATE SET” for setting or recalling the tax and currency rate.

AUTO POWER SAVE

When the power is “ON” and the calculator is not being used for approx. 7 minutes, the calculator will automatically switch to power save mode. Press to resume; the calculator will return to normal calculation mode.

OVERFLOW FUNCTION

In the following cases, when “E” is displayed, a dotted line is printed, the keyboard is electronically locked, and further operation is impossible. Press to clear the overflow. The overflow occurs when:

The result or the memory content exceeds 12 digits to the left of the decimal point.
Dividing by “0”.
The sequential operation speed is faster than the calculation processing speed. (Buffer Register Overflow)

Electromagnetic interference or electrostatic discharge may cause the display to malfunction or the contents of the memory to be lost or altered. Should this occur, use the tip of a ball point pen (or similar sharp object) to press the [RESET] button at the back of the calculator. After resetting, be sure to set the calendar, clock, currency and tax rate again.
