provides another selectable format. This
format accepts the first entry as dollars and
cents and the second entry as a whole
number.
• Price/Price Mode
Typical within the trucking industry, certain
invoices have fractional quantities (weight)
times price. Selecting yet another format to
simplify entry, the Monroe Ultimate supports
price/price mode. In this format both first
and second entries are accepted as 2
decimal places automatically.
Clear Add Symbol
The Ultimate prints a unique symbol on the tape
called the clear add symbol if that entry was the
first entry made into a clear adding machine.
This symbol *+ clearly indicates to the operator
or anyone auditing the tape that the adding
machine was clear prior to commencing the
listing of figures.
Sequential Calculation Indicators
Special audit trail symbols are provided to
indicate to the operator when a chain or
sequential calculation is or has been performed.
CX and C˜ illustrate a chain calculation is being
performed. These indicators are especially
useful to insure correctness of results and
simplify audits of results.
Calculator Mode Correction
How many times has one entered a figure,
pressed the times key instead of the divide key,
or vice versa. It happens often. Calculator Mode
corr
ection is a feature that permits the operator
(in the sequence described above) to immedi-
ately follow the times key depr
ession with a
depression of the divide key. Doing so changes
the mode fr
om multiplication to division.
Entry Only Display
The Monroe Ultimate allows the operator a
choice of seeing the entry just made in the
display or the running subtotal. Showing the
entry only in the display is clearly a superior audit
tool, as it enables the user to quickly check the
display when they feel an entry error has been
made. It is also an exclusive feature to Monroe
Ultimate and our other heavy duty models.
Running Subtotal Display
The operator has the choice of seeing the entry
only or running subtotal in the display.
Automatic Constants
All Monroe calculators accept the first entry in
multiplication and the second entry in division as
an automatic constant. There are no K (constant)
switches to worry about or move. For calculators
with a K switch, one needs to worry about
engaging it first to perform calculations with con-
stants then disengage before adding a
column of figures. This is certainly contrary to the
goal of a calculator.
Group and Grand Total
GT as it is often referred to and abbreviated,
enables one to add several columns of figures
and get a ìgrand totalî of all column totals.
Certain calculators only provide the ability to
achieve the total and are not capable of provid-
ing a grand subtotal. Full functionality is provided
on the Monroe 8125, Classic, Pro, Ultimate and
7100 series.
Crossfooting
Crossfooting is not Group and Grand Total.
In crossfooting, both columns and rows are
totaled. Crossfooting is a common function
performed by an Excel Spreadsheet. The
