OPERATIONAL NOTES

To ensure trouble-free operation of your SHARP calculator, we recommend the following:

  1. The calculator should be kept in areas free from extreme temperature changes, moisture, and dust.
  2. A soft, dry cloth should be used to clean the calculator. Do not use solvents or a wet cloth.
  3. Since this product is not waterproof, do not use it or store it where fluids, for example, water, can splash onto it. Raindrops, water spray, juice, coffee, steam, perspiration, etc., will also cause malfunction.
  4. If service should be required, use only a SHARP servicing dealer, a SHARP-approved service facility, or SHARP repair service.
  5. If you pull out the power cord to cut electricity completely, the present stored tax rate will be cleared.
  6. Do not wind the AC cord around the body or otherwise forcibly bend or twist it.

OPERATING CONTROLS

Ic 1POWER SWITCH; PRINT / ITEM COUNT MODE SELECTOR:

  • “OFF”: Power OFF
  • “•”: Power ON. Set to the non-print mode.
    P”: Power ON. Set to the print mode.
  • P•IC”: Power ON. Set to the print and item count mode.
  • For addition or subtraction, each time the + is pressed, 1 is added to the item counter, and each time the is pressed, 1 is subtracted.
  • The count is printed when the calculated result is obtained.
  • Pressing of , Ic 2clears the counter.

Note: The counter has a maximum capacity of 3 digits (up to ±999). If the count exceeds the maximum, the counter will recount from zero.

Ic 3ROUNDING SELECTOR:

Example: Set Decimal Selector to 2. 4 ÷ 9 = 0.444 …, 5 ÷ 9 = 0.555 …Sharp EL-1801P 2-Digit Serial Printing Calculator User Manual 1

Ic 4GRAND TOTAL / RATE SETTING MODE SELECTOR

  • “GT”: Grand Total
  • “•”: Neutral
  • “RATE SET”: Rate setting
  • Enter the adding tax rate, then Ic 6press.
  • A maximum of 4 digits can be stored (decimal point is not counted as a digit).
  • Only one rate can be stored. If you enter a new rate, the previous rate will be cleared.

Ic 5DECIMAL / ADD MODE SELECTOR:

  • “6 3 2 1 0”: Presets the number of decimal places in the answer.

INK ROLLER REPLACEMENT

If printing is blurry even when the ink roller is in the proper position, replace the roller.

Ink roller: Type EA-772R

  1. Set the power switch to OFF.
  2. Remove the printer cover. (Fig. 1)Sharp EL-1801P 2-Digit Serial Printing Calculator User Manual 2
  3. Hold the top of the ink roller and remove the roller by pulling it toward you and then upward. (Fig. 2)Sharp EL-1801P 2-Digit Serial Printing Calculator User Manual 3
  4. Install the new ink roller in the correct position. Make sure that the roller is securely in place. (Fig. 3)Sharp EL-1801P 2-Digit Serial Printing Calculator User Manual 4
  5. Put back the printer cover.

Cleaning the printing mechanism

If the print becomes dull after long-term usage, clean the printing wheel according to the following procedures:

  1. Remove the printer cover and the ink roller.
  2. Install the paper roll and feed it until it comes out of the front of the printing mechanism.
  3. Put a small brush (like a toothbrush) lightly on the printing wheel and clean it by pressing.Ic 13
  4. Put back the ink roller and the printer cover.

Note: Do not rotate the printing mechanism manually; this may damage the printer.

PAPER ROLL REPLACEMENT

Never insert a paper roll if torn. Doing so will cause the paper to jam. Always cut the leading edge with scissors first.

  1. Insert the leading edge of the paper roll into the opening. (Fig. 1)Sharp EL-1801P 2-Digit Serial Printing Calculator User Manual 5
  2. Turn the power on and feed the paper by pressing.Ic 13 (Fig.2).Sharp EL-1801P 2-Digit Serial Printing Calculator User Manual 6
  3. Lift the attached metal paper holder up and insert the paper roll into the paper holder. (Fig. 3)Sharp EL-1801P 2-Digit Serial Printing Calculator User Manual 7

ERRORS

There are several situations that will cause an overflow or an error condition. When this occurs, “E” will be displayed. The contents of the memory at the time of the error are retained. If an “0E” is displayed at the time of the error, “– – – – – – –” will be printed in redIc 2 and must be used to clear the calculator. Also, in rare cases, printing may stop midway, and the indication “E” appears on the display. This is not a malfunction but is caused when the calculator is exposed to strong electromagnetic noise or static electricity from an external source. Should this occur, press the Ic 2key and then repeat the calculation from the beginning.

Error conditions:

  1. When the integer portion of an answer exceeds 12 digits.
  2. When the integer portion of the contents of the memory exceeds 12 digits. (Ex.Ic 14 9999999999991Ic 15)
  3. When any number is divided by zero. (Ex.5 Ic 16 )
