Pasting Calculations into Other Programs (Paper Tape)
Calculator can record up to fourteen lines of calculations. Each new
calculation is added to the bottom of the list, and when you reach the
maximum number, older calculations are removed from the top of the list.
This is called the paper tape feature.
If you would like to copy a series of calculations into another SmartApplet,
such as AlphaWord Plus, follow these steps:
1. Press applets, move the cursor down to the Calculator in the list, and
press enter.
2. Enter a series of calculations.
3. Press shift-
a-C to copy all calculations in the list. You should see the
calculations selected momentarily as they are copied. (If this does not
happen, your caps lock may be selected. Press the caps lock and try
again.)
^ Exponentiate (raise the first
number to the power of the
second)
Example: 3 ^ 2
Example: 2 ^ 2 ^ 2
e Calculate scientific notation
Example: 10e6
Example: 1.2e15
( ) Construct more complex formulas
Example: (15 *2) + 10 / 4
Example: (25*3) – (45/5)
Use these operands To perform these tasks
If you begin the next
formula with an
operand (such as +
or *), Calculator uses the
result from your previous
calculation as the first number
in the next formula. (This
doesn’t apply to the e
operand.)
If you prefer to copy
just the result of one
calculation, press
ctrl-C or z-C instead.
