P23-DHV Printing Calculator not multiplying correctly

RachelD — Thu, 15 Feb 2024 17:23:49 GMT

I have a P23-DHV printing calculator and cannot get the multiplication to work properly. For example, 2 x 4 comes out as 16. I follow the path of 2 + 4 x = and I get 16. If I reverse the order, I get a different number. 4 + 2 x = and I get 4. I have tried using the * instead of = and it still will not calculate correctly. Is there something I am doing wrong?

I'm assuming that '*' is the enter key. Any difference if you do the following sequence of keys?

The * is the total key. I played around with it and found that it works by changing the sequence:
