    This seems to be a calculator for businesses.

    • Centre left: Rounding switch - Always round up / rounding off if the last digit is 0-4, rounding up if the digit is 5-9 / always round down (truncate)
    • Centre right: Decimal switch - switch between monetary values (A), fixed decimal point (number of digits to the right of the decimal that are shown) (02346), floating point mode (all digits) (F)
    • Right: Sigma switch - adds the results of the = or % key to the accumulator (useful when summing up ledgers)
    • Left: Not sure, perhaps turning print mode on/off?

      Was about to reply with guesses for centre two switches that match your reply. But you’ve got the manual so I’ll just say: great answer! :)

      Wasn’t aware that this was cross posted here! It’s a Facit 2102. Built by Sharp.

      We figured out that the left switch is constant. Konstant in swedish.

      The right switch seems to add an I to the top right. Then you can do something with the rightmost row of buttons. Something which I don’t understand.

      This calculator does not have a printer. It’s all screen on this computer, baby eh… Nerd!

      Here’s info I’ve found online

      Edit: Picture of the I with a random 6 I punched in.
