BEFORE USING THE PRINTER FOR THE FIRST TIME:

1. Remove the tape holding the ink ribbon in place.
2. Plug in AC power
3. Be sure the paper roll and ribbon have been installed properly.
4. Turn the power switch on, and make sure the display lights up. A "C" will automatically be printed on the paper tape.
5. Set decimal point selector switch to the desired position.

General Maintenance

1. Do not place the calculator in hot, dusty, or damp locations.
2. To clean the housing, use a damp cloth.
3. Do not place anything on the housing, particularly on the head of the printer mechanism.
4. Turn off the power switch before removing the plug from AC wall outlet.
5. Turn the power switch off while not in use.

How to Feed the Paper Tape

2. Cut or tear evenly the end of the paper roll to get a straight edge.
3. Place the paper holder into position. (Fig. 3)
4. Install the paper roll on the paper holder.

Replacing the Ribbon

Your calculator is shipped with a 2-color ribbon already in place. You do not need to install or change it before using the calculator. When you have been using your calculator for some time, however, the print will gradually become faint, indicating that you should change the ribbon. To change the ribbon, follow these steps.

1. Remove the paper roll, tearing the paper at the rear of the calculator. Use the Paper Advance () key to feed the remaining paper tape through the printer. Then remove the printer cover.
2. Remove the old ribbon by pulling it upward.
3. Install the ribbon spool with the black edge up. Unwind the ribbon from the full spool and place the full spool on the left spindle. Thread the new ribbon along the outside of the guides and in front of the print wheels. Place the second spool into position on the right side spindle.
4. Rotate the spools to take up any slack. Replace the printer cover and install the paper roll.

(Replace with the Victor #7010 Ink Ribbon)

KEY AND SLIDE SWITCH FEATURES

This section illustrates and describes the mode switches you can use to control your calculator's operation.

OFF ON

(OFF) The power is OFF.

(ON) The power is ON.

PNP IP

(P) The printer is activated as long as the calculator is turned on.

(NP) The printer is activated only when the paper feed key or the non-add / date key is pressed. This is also called display only mode.

(IP) Activates the Item Count so that when the Total key is pressed, the Item Count will automatically print on the right hand side of the printed tape.

5/4

() This setting causes an answer to a calculation to automatically round up.

(5/4) This setting causes automatic round off. If the last digit of the result that will be printed or printed 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 or printed / displayed is followed by a value of 5 to 9, the digit is rounded up.

(▼) This causes an answer to be automatically rounded down. (Truncation)

GT TAX SET

(∑) When the slide switch is in the Sigma mode “∑” position, the results of the multiplication or division calculations completed by the = or % keys are automatically added to the accumulator. The accumulated answer can be recalled by pressing the * / T key.

Any total taken with the /T key is automatically accumulated to memory. The accumulated Grand Total can be recalled by pressing the MT key.

(TAX SET) Selects set mode for programming the Tax rate.

A0234F DECIMAL SET

(A) Monetary Add Mode: In this setting, amounts entered are assumed to be monetary. The calculator automatically supplies a decimal point to the left of the last two digits entered.

(0,2,3,4) Fixed digit mode: These settings specify the number of digits to the right of the decimal point that are shown in the result.

(F) Floating decimal point mode: This setting specifies that all digits of the result are shown, up to a maximum of 12. If the result exceeds these capacities, excess digits to the right of the decimal point are dropped. No rounding takes place.

(0) - (9) (00)(.) NUMERIC KEYS

The calculator uses the conventional 10 - key indexing keyboard, and includes the double zero key and the decimal point key. Whole numbers are entered exactly as they are written.

（↑） PAPER FEED KEY

Used to advance the paper

() RIGHTSHIFTKEY

（+）PLUSKEY

Adds an amount to the accumulator. To add the same amount more than onetime (repeat addition), enter that amount once and depress the Plus key as many times as necessary. If this key is depressed immediately after the (%) key, it works as a percent add key.
