      These are pretty simple calculators, those switches on top just change how the printing happens. You can set them to print with leading decimals (eg. adding a .00 to monetary values) and alignment to make reading easier. Otherwise it’s just a pretty standard calculator. Great machines, you still see them used for audits as a final hand-calculation stapled to the top of the paperwork.
