B.3 General information

Accumulator:
Products, quotients and individual value can be totaled and stored
in the accumulator. Multiplication and division are ignored.
Entries:
Value and sub-totals are transmitted directly to the accumulator via
the addition and subtraction keys.
Constants:
The multiplicand, divisor, basic value or percentage, including the
subsequent function, are automatically retained as constants.
Repeat value:
Using the basic calculation modes, a value can be repeatedly used
as often as required.
Paper roll printout:
The decimal place is printed as a point. Examples:
CPD 3212, CPD 5212
1 234 567 890.12 +
Entering values and calculation methods:
- Addition / Subtraction (a+b+c+)
t
Result via
- Multiplikation / Division (axb c=)
Result via =
Triad group symbols (commas) shown in display:
Values to the left of the decimal point are divided by triad symbols.
Example:
1,234,567,890.12
Capacity overflow:
When results exceed 12 full digits "...................." (CPD 3212) or
"ERROR" (*) is printed out, a "E" appears in the display and the
keyboard is blocked for entry. To release the keyboard;
press: or or for (* 5212).
CE E
Memory block:
The memory will not accept a value which would exceed the me-
mory capacity. The memory contents remain unaltered.
Item counter (Switch position):
When activated a 3 digit item counter is provided for the accumula-
tor and for the memory.
By pressing + and – or M+
and subtractions are counted.
The number of item is printed on requesting sub-totals or final to-
tal. Example:008 = 8 items.
008 600.00_
Pressing the final total key clears the counter.
and M– the number of additions
Stored rates & memory contents retained:
The memory contents and stored rates of conversion, tax and %
will be retained even if the calculator is turned off.
The 11 pre-programmed fixed Euro rates are available for different
countries (refer "Currency code table" page 31.) and are originally
installed in the calculator. It is not possible to change such
preprogrammed rate at any time.
Currency conversion:
- The conversion rate consists of 6 significant figures with the deci-
mal points.
- Additionally, 5-currency conversion rates can be programmable
and stored.
- To convert between '1st currency' and '2nd currency' through
conversion rate, the 1st currency and the 2nd currency will be se-
lect among 'Euro', 'originally installed 11-currency' and 'stored 5-
currency'.
- Conversion rate is printed out with the symbol of R#.
- Euro currency can be printed out with the following symbol mark:
E ---- CPD 3212
5 ---- CPD 5212 (*)
- Refer to "Currency code table" page 31.
Tax Rate:
- Tax rate consists of 6 significant figures with decimal point.
- Tax rate is printed out with the symbol of RT.
Automatic %+ calculation (percent add-on):
- Automatic %+ calculation can proceed with user stored % rate or
entry % rate.
- The user stored % rate consists of 6 significant figures with deci-
mal point.
- Stored % rate is printed out with the symbol of R%.
