Surprise, surprise! What a great little machine for a cheap little price! Prints in 2 colors of ink, sits solidly on the desk-top without wobbling during use, paper feeds without a hitch, print is clear and accurate, keys operate smoothly, lightweight for travel and its rather quiet when printing too. Although all plastic it seems quite solid and well built. Also comes with an AC power cord.

I like to purchase items at the bottom of the price scale in the hopes that I find (albeit rarely) a pearl of great price. This is it folks, you got lucky if you found this one...its a good deal for the money.

I attempted to use this product in an accounting office and had a very difficult time hitting the cost, sell and margin buttons. I usually fly on a calculator and I could not do it because my finger tips kept hitting those keys. I was rather disappointed.

    Comments about Staples® SPL-P500 Printing Calculator:

    We purchased this calculator for our Controller to use in his daily duties in the company, as the one he was using was no longer working properly. The calculator performs the tasks it is described as doing with no significant problems noted. However, due to its smaller size the machine may be more difficult for a man with larger hands to use on a daily basis. Would definitely recommend a larger machine be purchased for any man or a woman with somewhat larger hands. Otherwise, we are very happy with our purchase.

    Comments about Staples® SPL-P500 Printing Calculator:

    I think the calculator was better than I expected for the price. I haven't used it very much so far, so I don't really know how to use it. My only question is can this calculator hold up the supply of rolls I bought which are quite thick? I hope so.

          I really love this calculator. It's easy to use and numbers are big enough to see.Also it has adequate capabilities,quality designs,compact( I just store it in my kitchen drawer), and it's not a bad looking calculator (not bulky like other calculators) I also love the option that you can print or you can use the calculator without having to use the printing option. I don't have a problem reading the numbers on it.I would most likely buy another one to have at home in another area.

          • Q:

            How do I press enter or "=" on the calculator? There is a "set" button that also has an "=" sign but it does nothing when it is selected on the "print" setting. I feel like an idiot! Help!

              There is an "=" on the left hand side, second key from the bottom which should help you out a lot.

            • A:

              First of all make the calculator is in clock mode. Then first press the 'time' button and then the 'set' button. Now the first digit of the year should be flashing. Enter the year (YYYY) using the number keys. Enter the month (MM) using the number keys. Then enter the date (DD) using the number keys. Press the 'set' button to accept the entered data.

            • A:

              In order to total your amount, you need to add, subtract, multiply or divide all the numbers, then click the equal (=) button that is located on the left side. To subtract, you need to enter your number and hit the plus key (+), then enter the number to be subtracted and hit the minus key (-) and then (*) for the subtracted amount.
