• ASTO, ARCL, '%', 'pi' and 'E' (exponent) are not available. Switch to standard HP-42S mode to
get them.

is not available. Use standard HP-42S mode.
• Two-digit local labels LBL 01 are not available. Use standard HP-42S mode.
• Local labels LBL A and LBL a and global labels LBL "ABC", LBL "123" and LBL "A123" work as
expected.
• Un-shifted

still behaves as usual allowing program execution to resume after inputting
alpha data to a program.

SST/BST in alpha input mode
Press and hold the
[
SHIFT
]
key while pressing
[

]
or
[

]
in order to execute BST or SST
respectively when in alpha input mode. As on the original HP-42S, BST will start auto-repeating
after a while and SST will NULL after a couple of seconds if you press and hold
[

or
[

respectively.
Printing to File
Since DM42 3.10 in addition to default IR printing user can choose printing to file.
This functionality can be activated in
Print to File menu
.
Two output formats are supported:
Graphics Print
Creates bitmap (
.bmp
) file with printed data in graphics.
Text Print
Creates text (
.txt
) file with printed data in UTF-8.
The output file
/PRINTS/<time-stamp>.txt
for text output and
/PRINTS/<times-tamp>.bmp
for graphics
output is created just after the 'Text Print' or 'Graphics Print' (respectively) is activated in menu.
Disabling one of those options flushes appropriate buffer and finishes the file. Next activation of
previously deactivated 'Text Print' or 'Graphics Print' creates new file with current time-stamp.
Printing buffers are allocated from available calculator memory just after the 'Text
Print' or 'Graphics Print' is selected in menu. Error is displayed if not enough
memory is available also no file is created and selected option isn’t activated.
