OPERATIONAL NOTES
To insure 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,

is pressed, 1 is added to
the item counter, and each time
–
is pressed, 1 is subtracted.
•The count is printed when the calculated result is obtained.
•Pressing of ,
CCE

clears 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.
DECIMAL / ADD MODE SELECTOR:
“3, 2, 1, 0”: Presets the number of decimal places in the answer.
“F”: The answer is displayed in the floating decimal system.
“A”: The decimal point in addition and subtraction entries is automatically
positioned to the 2nd digit from the lowest digit of entry number.
Use of the add mode permits addition and subtraction of numbers
without entry of the decimal point. Use of , and will
automatically override the add mode and decimally correct answers
will be printed.
ROUNDING SELECTOR:
Set Decimal Selector to 2.

PAPER ROLL REPLACEMENT
DO NOT PULL PAPER BACKWARDS AS THIS MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO
PRINTING MECHANISM.
Never insert paper roll if torn. Doing so will cause paper to jam. Always cut
leading edge with scissors first.
1) Insert the leading edge of the paper roll into the opening. (Fig.1)
2) Turn the power on and feed the paper by pressing . (Fig.2)
3) Lift the attached metal paper holder up and insert the paper roll to the paper holder.

INK ROLLER REPLACEMENT
If printing is blurry even when the ink roller is in the proper position, replace the roller.
Ink roller: Type EA-781R-BK (Black)
Type EA-781R-RD (Red)
WARNING
APPLYING INK TO WORN INK ROLLER OR USE OF UNAPPROVED INK
ROLLER MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO PRINTER.
1) Set the power switch to OFF.
2) Remove the printer cover. (Fig. 1)
3) Remove the ink roller by turning it counterclockwise and pulling it upward. (Fig. 2)
4) Install the correct color new ink roller and press it in the correct position. Make sure
that the ink roller is securely in place. (Fig. 3)

ing 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 tooth brush) lightly to the printing wheel and clean it by
pressing .

There are several situations which 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 “0 •E”is displayed at the time of the error, “– ––––––” will be printed in red and
CCE
must be used to clear the calculator.
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.
M
999999999999 M+1 M+)
3. When any number is divided by zero. (Ex. 5 0 ).
