Sharp EL-1701C Calculator Questions & Answers
HOW TO CHANGE INK RIBBON OR ROLLER
Once you open up the clear plastic cover, there is this tiny piece of black plastic at the right hand side, that's the ink roller unit (the ink roller is the bottom of the unit). You could try to remove it with your fingers. If you can't get it out, use a little screw driver and gently pop it out. You can find the replacement on eBay or other outlets, it is about $6 a piece (cheaper if you bulk-buy).
Set tax rate for Sharp EL-1701C
I Finally figured it out after playing with it for almost 1/2 an hour!
Hit 2nd then Tax + (rate set) it will appear as 0.000 enter your tax rate... mine is 5% so I enter 5.0 then hit 2nd and Tax + (rate set again) And it will work!
It is glorious!!!

I have a Sharp EL-1701C Calculator
Hi cherycooney,
Press the '2nd' button, press the 'M+' button. 'NP' should appear on the display screen, and print function will be turned off.
Thanks for using Fixya.
P keeps appearing
Have same problem with the randomly appearing"P" and no end frustration with it. Tried loosening, (...the screws very extreemly tight), tried with no success, then tightened again, but still no success. Thanks, though, for the suggestion!
How do you remove p.e off screen
I have found (somewewhere on the web, sorry cant remember where) that it is only a power error ! So if you see the P.e the calculator doesnt received enough power... All you gotta do is to change the batteries!! Or plug it with the appropriated power cord :)
Enjoy!
How to change decimal point
If you want all entries and answers to have two numbers after the decimal, you should have a lever or slide that shows F,6,3,2,1,0. Some also show Add. Set the lever on the 2 or add. F means floating decimal. the others indicate how many numbers after the decimal.
