The block of nine number keys has a 0 bar below it, and a subtraction bar and a blank bar to its right.. A lever is in the right front corner and a red button in the upper right corner. To the left of the number keys are a clearance lever, a N (/) R lever, and a lever for which one setting is x. The place indicator is over the keyboard, and the printing mechanism, carriage, paper tape, and motor behind it.
