“FΣ” position: The first factor is automatically added to or subtracted from
the memory. A first factor means the first number in multiplication and division, and each number is printed with “×I”
and “÷I” respectively.CONSTANT MODE SELECTOR: “K” position: The following constant functions will be performed: Multiplication: The calculator will automatically remember the first number entered (the multiplicand) and the instruction. Division: The calculator will automatically remember the second number entered (the divisor) and the instruction.
ROUNDING SELECTOR:
DECIMAL SELECTOR:
Sets the number of decimal places in the answer.
In the “F” position, the answer is displayed in the floating decimal system.PAPER FEED KEY: When pressed, the paper feed key. Note: You can also pull the paper manually.
RIGHT SHIFT KEY: Operation of this key in entered numbers or calculated results shifts the number one digit to the right, together with the decimal point. Used for one-digit correction.
GRAND TOTAL KEY: Prints and clears the “GT” memory contents.
NON-ADD/SUBTOTAL KEY: Prints the total of addition and subtraction with the symbol “ ”. This key also serves as a clear key for the calculation register and resets an error condition
CLEAR ENTRY KEY: Clears the number entered before use of a function key. Also used to clear an overflow error caused by an entry
NUMERAL KEYS
MINUS EQUALS KEY: Prints the entered number with a “–” symbol and subtracts the number from the contents of the calculation register. This key is also used to obtain the product/quotient in negative multiplication and division, and prints it with the symbol “
PLUS EQUALS KEY: Prints the entered number with a “+” symbol and adds the number to the contents of the calculation register. This key is also used to obtain the results in multiplication and division, and prints the product/quotient with the symbol

INK RIBBON REPLACEMENT
- Remove the paper roll from the calculator. (Tear the paper and remove it from the
print mechanism by using .)
2. Set the power switch to the OFF position.
Make sure that the print wheel has stopped.
3. Remove the printer cover by sliding it towards the back of the calculator. (Fig. 1)
4. Remove the used ribbon.
5. Install the new ribbon.
6. With the black side of the ribbon facing upwards, place one of the reels on the reel
shaft on the right. Make sure that the reel is securely in place.
7. Thread the ribbon around the outside of the metal guides. (Fig. 2)
8. Insert the right reel securely.
9. Take up any slack by manually turning one of the reels.
10. Replace the printer cover.
11. Replace the paper roll.
PAPER ROLL REPLACEMENT
- Lift the paper holder. (Fig. 1)
- Fold the leading edge of the paper roll 3 to 5 cm. (Do not fold it slantwise.) (Fig. 2)
- Insert the paper roll from the left side of the paper holder and make sure the paper
roll is set in the proper direction (with the paper feeding from the bottom). (Fig. 3) - Insert the leading edge of the paper into the opening directly behind the print
mechanism. (Fig. 4) - Press the paper feed key and feed the paper under the edge of the paper cutter.
ERRORS
Several situations will cause an overflow or an error condition. When this occurs, the error symbol “E” will be displayed, and all keys will electronically lock. The contents of the memory at the time of the error are retained. If an “E” is printed on the tape at the time of the error, the key must be used to clear the calculator. If an “E” with any numerals except zero is printed on the tape or if an “E” is not printed on the tape, the error may be cleared with the or key, and the calculation can still be continued.
Error conditions:
- Entry of more than 10 digits or 9 decimals. (QS-1760H) Entry of more than 12 digits or 11 decimals. (QS-2760H/2770H) This error can be cleared with the OR key.
- When the integer portion of an answer exceeds 10 digits. (QS-1760H) When the integer portion of an answer exceeds 12 digits. (QS-2760H/2770H)
- When the integer portion of the contents of the memory exceeds 10 digits. (QS-1760H) (Ex. 9999999999 1 ) When the integer portion of the contents of the memory exceeds 12 digits. (QS-2760H/2770H) (Ex. 999999999999 1 )
- When any number is divided by zero. (Ex. 5 0 )
DECIMAL SYSTEM
Input override decimal feature
The calculator operates on a principle of floating decimal entries with a preset decimal

Sharp QS2760H Ribbon Printing Calculator-FAQs
Why is my Sharp calculator not turning on or working properly?
Try resetting the calculator—refer to the product manual for your specific model. Common issues include memory overload or low batteries. Replace the batteries and ensure they’re correctly installed. If it still doesn’t work, press the reset button on the back using a paperclip for 5 seconds.
What is a printing calculator?
A printing calculator is a device with a built-in printer that produces a physical printout of your calculations. It’s commonly used in accounting, finance, and other fields requiring accurate records.
What does the “MRC” button mean on a calculator?
“MRC” stands for Memory Recall. It lets you view the stored number in memory. “MC” clears the memory, and “M+” adds the current display number to memory.
Who typically uses a printing calculator?
Printing calculators are ideal for accountants, finance professionals, bookkeepers, and anyone who needs to keep paper records of calculations.
How do I reuse or replace the ribbon in my Sharp printing calculator?
To reuse a ribbon, tape the end of the used ribbon to the take-up spool to prevent it from unraveling. If reinstalling a partially-used ribbon, do the same and close the cover securely.
How do I calculate ink or ribbon cost per page?
Divide the cost of the ribbon or cartridge by the total number of pages it can print. This gives you the cost per page (CPP), which helps manage printing expenses.
How do I print multiple copies of a document?
Go to File > Print. Under “Settings,” select “Multiple copies per sheet” and enter how many copies you want under “Copies of each page.”
What does the “M+” button do?
“M+” (Memory Add) adds the displayed number to the current memory value—great for repeated additions using the same number.
