jales Year-to-Date A single I l , a y , l dill& i ~ JL,I+ on your ledgers gives them a dramatrc new meaning In your accounting. Your ledgers now dlrectly contribute to the speed, accuracy, simplic~ty and product~vity of accounting and report writing. CAPACITY-The magnetic Ink strtpe stores, In electronic pulse form, four 1 2 - d ~ g ~words t plus slgn (52 pos~tionsof memory) For example In Payroll you can store: Earnings-to-Date Comb~ned WH & FlCA Tax-to-Date State or Other Tax-to-Date Federal WH Tax Exempt Earnings, and Withholding Tax Rate. NOTE that storage can conslst of BALANCES and ACCOUNT DATA, a n d IS N O T NECESSARILY RESTRICTED to one Item of data per word of memory ACCESSIBILITY-The data stored In the stripes IS in machine readable form and is automatically and electronically accessible through the E 1400 console or the automatic ledger reader. FUNCTION-Permits the automatic and electronic p~ckupof account data to speed and simpl~fyaccounting and report wrltlng. Access to any data in the ledger stripe may be selectively programed to speed and sirnplify report writing.

AUTOMATIC DATA PICKUP THROUGH THE E 1 4 0 0 CONSOLE The operator simply places the magnetic striped ledger between the self-squaring form guides. As the Automatic Form Alignment feature moves the form to the next posting I~ne,the stored data is automatically and electronically read, checked and transferred to the system's core memory.

When she lists the ver~ficat~on number and transaction data, she activates the processing run. Correct account selection is verified electronically. The ledger is updated, and automatically ejected as the new account data is stored in the stripe. It's that simple. THE RESULTS . . . Speed-Account Data pickup is faster because it's done electron~cally.Accuracy-What the E 1400 does automatically, the operator cannot do wrong. Productiv~ty-More work In less time with less effort.

PLUS

AUTOMATED FORMS HANDLING With the Burroughs E 1400 all your operator has to do IS drop the forms in the self-squaring farm guides Automatically and independently the forms are moved to the next posting line. When the posting n done, they're ejected for easy operator removal.

CHOICE OF CARRIAGES There's a choice of carrlage form setups ava~lableYou can choose the one that best accommodates the appllcanons to wh~chyou want to apply the Productive )f the E 1400

Alignment is accomplished through the sensrng of fineline perforations In each form. These perforations do not impede prtntour readab~lityor reduce available prlnt area. Many forms sizes and types may be used.

YOU BENEFIT F R O M . . Just drop the forms between the self-squarlng form guides. . .

THE PRODUCTIVE POWER OF THE SOLID STATE PROCESSOR

The E 1400 Electron~cProcessor util~zesthe latest solid state techniques to prov~depowerful electron~ccapab~l~ties

CORE MEMORY-A Four-word magnetic core memory stores the data read from the magnetic ink striped ledger. After this data is updated, it's read out onto the strrped ledger automat~cally.

ELECTRONIC COMPUTATION-Solid state circuitry means the E 1400 can perform computations at electron~cspeeds. All computations take only a fracnon of a second and are within the print cycle tlme, permlttlng greater productivity

AUTOMATIC DECISION MAKING-Sol~d state logic provides the ability to automatically select pre-programed subroutines based on processing cond~t~ons, e.g. sklpplng the F.1 C.A. computation when maximum contribut~onhas been made. This eliminates the possibil~tyof operator mis-judgement. reduces the chance of error and m~nim~zes operator partic~patton.

ELECTRONIC FACTOR STORAGE-Constant factors such as tax rates, discaunt rates, etc. may be programed into the processor. Factors may be introduced automatically into the accounting routine through e~therprogram or operator selection. Processors, with from 0 to 27 factor storage posit~ons, are ava~lable.

YW BENEFIT BECAUSE these electronic capabilities dramatically simp/.@ complex accounting routhes, speed their completion and assure maximum accuracy in any accountingjob.

THE PRODUCTIVE POWER OF VERSATILE, POWERFUL PROGRAM CONTROL

Maximum effective use of the processing capabilities of the E 1400 is achieved through the exclusive, proven-in-use Burroughs Program Control Center. It features a simple though powerful programing technique which obs.oletesexternallyattached control bars and other single job program devices. FUNCTION-It directs and controls all carriage movement, print formatting and arithmetic functions; and initiates commands for the processor and adjuncts to perform their respective functions. LARGE CAPACITY-It contains the programs for four or more separate and complete accounting routlnes. The program control center is easily removable so you can have all the programing power you need by purchasing additional program control centers. SIMPLIFIED PROGRAM CHANGE-It's as easy as changing channels on a T.V. The simple turn of the program selector does it. No bars to juggle or other adjustments. PROGRAMING FLEXIBILITY-The control center IS deslgned to do your jobs the way you want them done. No need to modlfy your requirements to meet machine limitations ASSURANCE AGAINST OBSOLESENCE -Changes in your routlnes requlre only a change In the program control center.

YOU BENEFIT BECAUSE the Program Control Center has the capacity and flexibility to obtain maximum productivity from the E 1 4 0 0 . Burroughs not only does the programing but also delivers your system pre-programed to your specific requirements.

THE PRODUCTIVE POWER OF AUTOMATIC MAGNETIC STRIPED LEDGER INPUT

The s o l ~ dstate Burroughs A 4003 Automat~cLedger Reader IS a powerful Input component that reads the data stored rn magnetic strlpes and transmits ~tto the console for prlnt out It sequent~allyreads up to 4 8 cards per minute OPERATING SIMPLICITY-The operator simply places the ledgers In the feed hopper ( 5 0 0 ledger capac~ty)and pushes the start button to lnltlate the read and prlnt cycle Ledgers accumulate sequentrally In the stackmg hopper Read~ngdoes not destroy data stored In strlpes A set of SIX Operator/System Commun~cat~on L~ghtsdisplay the operating c o n d ~ t ~ o n and prov~defull control over the unlt AUTOMATIC TRIAL BALANCING-The A 4003 electron~callyreads and transmits the complete data stored in the strlpes to the E 1400 Console for prlnt out and trial balanc~ng. AUTOMATIC BALANCE TRANSFER-At the end of a spec~ficper~oddata can be transferred to new ledgers with ease. The operator merely places the old ledgers In the feed~nghopper and the new ledger In the console carnage All the data stored in the strlpe is transferred automatically AUTOMATIC MANAGEMENT REPORTS-lndrv~dual magnetlc str~ped ledgers may be read consecutively or selectively by the A 4003 to generate automat~callya variety of reports. Selectwe read of ledgers IS accomphshed by s~mplypunching holes in the top of the ledgers (as illustrated)

YOU BENEFIT BECAUSE-tile A 4003 permits you to do time consuming jobs like trial balance, balance transfer and report writing, automatically. It provides more timely data, easier, faster and electronically accurate.

THE PRODUCTIVE POWER FOR A VARIETY OF OUTPUT

COMPLETE ALPHABETIC AND NUMERIC PRINTOUT FOR HARD COPY RECORDS AND REPORTS Burroughs E 1400 Systems recognize your preference for easily accessible, readable, historical hard copy records. The E 1400 console accommodates a w ~ d evariety of magnetic striped and convent~onalledgers, records and reports includmg cut and continuous journals. It permits posting one, two or even three original records at the same time. And it produces a detail exact-copy journal as an automatic by-product. Complete alphabetic and numeric printmg output IS provided through a rapid semlgang printer and a compact 84 character unit printer. Print output covers a 220 character print~ngline. Thrs forms and printout flexibility means you can handle a wide variety of appllcattons, completely and eas~ly.

FOR SUBSEQUENT PROCESSING Many applications have unusually complex per~odicstatist~caland management report requirements. To satisfy these requlrements, E 1400 Systems are available with tape or card punch~ngcapability through a Tape Punch unlt: or a Card Punch Controller Selected alphanumeric data is captured in tape or cards as an automatrc by-product of posting accountmg records or preparing intertm reports. Electronic features such as echo check and panty check prove the accuracy of punching. Buffered punching elmmates any poss~bledelay In the processing speed of your system. The commun~cationsystem on the console prov~desthe status and control over the punching operation. The punched tape or cards produced are compatible with larger EDP systems.
