Sharp EL- 2196BL will not feed paper and will not work in the print mmode

Make sure that it is installed properly ... going under not OVER. Does the paper feed when the paper feed key is depressed ??

1. Lift the paper holder up.
2. Fold the leading edge of the paper roll 3 to 5 cm. (Do not fold it slantwise.)
3. 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).
4. Insert the leading edge of the paper into the opening directly behind the print
mechanism.
5. Press the paper feed key and feed the paper under the edge of the paper cutter.

To enter the date

1. Be sure to switch to "rate set" from GT
2. Enter the month
3. Press the decimal point
4. Enter the day
5. Press the decimal point
6. Enter the year
Example 3.09.2007
7. Press the button that look like a clock/calendar

To enter the time

1. Be sure to switch to "rate set" from GT
2. Enter the hour (please use military time)
3. Press the decimal
4. Enter the minutes
Example: 13.24 or 9.24
5. Press the button that look like a clock/calendar

Then change the "rate set" back to the GT setting.

My wife solved it by finding a thin little slot on the back of it where you put the paper in. Worked
beautifully. Thanks any way.

SOURCE: Where do I feed my paper into the Sharp El-1801P calculator

Hello, my name is Curtis, I am a Sharp Customer Servicer Rep. Normally the calculator would have a thin slot on the back, where you would feed the paper through, then once you press the paper in till it hits an inner wall, you would press the feed key which is on the upper left side of the calculator. If there are any problems doing this please call our technical support line at 1-800-237-4277, I am very glad to hear you like the calculator though!!!
