Canon introduced with the Financial Printer already in 1983 a compact and powerful combination of a Financial Statistical calculator and a small printer. The FP-11P added even some programmability to the basic design.

FP-10_1.jpg (54530 Byte)The Financial Printer is much more powerful than you expect from the keyboard. In date calculations it offers a full calendar ranging from January 1, 1901 to December 31, 2099. The 7-segment displays reads a somewhat cryptic representation of the date but the printer gives a self-explaining alphanumeric output.

FP-10_PRT.jpg (46833 Byte)From the technical view the Financial Printer is very similar to the TI-45 Micro Scientific Printer and BA-45 Micro Business Manager. They all share identical printers manufactured by Shinshu Seiki Co, Ltd. - better know under the EPSON brand - and the same printer driver electronics developed by Toshiba. The calculator circuit is very similar to the one found in the TI-66 Programmable.

The Financial Printer fits in one line with the Financial Manager and the scientific siblings F-73 resp. F-73P.
