When adding on My Sharp EL-1701C calculator it will stop adding and show a P. E

I do not think you can do that. There is something called multiplication.

I have the same problem, were you able to find a solution?

I replaced the batteries and restarted the machine.

lOG INTO GOOGLE AND REQUEST A FREE DOWNLOAD IT SHOULD BE AVAILABLE

found solution. thx.

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.

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.

Helloooo
..
There is a switch located above the keyboard labled IC for item count...slide the switch to the on position and as you add a number will appear on the paper tape on the other side of the total. On some units it will appear on the Display also.
I hope this solves you problem.
Squipps

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!!!
