A LIGHTWEIGHT batterypowered desk-top calculator, which offers both print and display facilities, is a new addition to the Casio range.
Designated the FR100, it has a capacity of ten digits. Decimal can be fully floating or fixed at zero, two, three or four places combined with cutoff or roundoff (5/4) approximation.
Add mode, with automatic pointing at two places is also available, and combines well with a keyboard offering 00, subtotal, grand total and item count keys.
Supplementary functions include percentage and four-key independent memory.
Printer unit likewise has ten digits capacity, plus symbols to represent functions activated, including percentage, 5/4 and memory operations. It will also print date or code reference numbers at the left-hand margin without affecting calculations in progress.

For extended use an AC mains adaptor is available.
