Im an Advanced Certified QuickBooks advisor, providing support training and customization of QuickBooks. I am a firm believer that every bookkeeper / businessowner who handles the business accounting should own a desktop calculator. It comes in handy when things do not seem add up to what you expect within QuickBooks. A quick calcuation will help identify issues or problems that exist; alerting you to changes that may be needed in the way you enter data within QuickBooks. Whenever I am working with a customer who does not have a calculator with a tape, I send them the link to this one, on Staples. Its a great price, keyboard is perfect and quick to print the tape. I have been Sharp desktop calculators for 20 years. I love it!

Third time is the charm!

I had to return this item twice before I got one that worked. The first time the paper kept jamming and the second time it wouldn't print bth colors.

    I have purchased various versions over the years. Quality product always on point. Prefer tape version over roller ink version as inevitably the rollers die and ruin the printing surface.

      Would prefer the last number entered would appear higher on the paper. Would like the paper to advance further after hitting the total key - wastes paper getting to a tear-off point.

            I have had this calculator for many years and use the automatic decimal place all the time. I hate putting in the decimal like you do. I have the switch that has the K.A set on the A. It works for me!

        • Q:

          We recently moved our office to a new location. Upon packing up my desk I removed the paper roll from my calculator so that it would not fall off during the move. When setting up my new desk I went to put the paper roll back in/on my machine. As I was advancing the paper through the machine it got hung up inside and rolled itself around the inside roller and jammed up. I removed the jammed paper as carefully as possible, however now it will not print. All I get on the paper is very faint verticle lines.....no numbers. I have tried hitting the "reset" button on the bottom of the machine but that doesn't seem to do anything. Can you please tell me how to get my machine working properly again as I am in desparate need of it.
          Thank you.
