Our office uses 2" or so wide clear tape for taping boxes for shipping.

You could probably photo reduce that picture to something around 1.5"
tall on plain paper and then use the 2" tape to tape the paper to the
back of the calculator.

The above is just off the top of my head, I have not tried it.  Even if
you don't have 2" clear tape, you could probably scotch tape a piece
of paper to the calculator.  However, I find having the quick reference
guide in the vinyl (?sp) case with the back cover facing out (so that
the keyboard display is visible) to be as convenient as turning the
calculator over.
