Your calculator may not be working due to several reasons:
Your calculator may not be printing if the POWER SWITCH; PRINT / ITEM COUNT MODE SELECTOR is not set to a print mode. Ensure it is in the "P" (print mode) or "P•IC" (print and item count mode) position, rather than the non-print mode.
To make your calculator show decimals, set the DECIMAL SELECTOR to the “F” position. This will display the answer in the floating decimal system.
To reset the calculator to its factory settings, press the RESET switch located on the back of the unit. This action will clear the set date and time configuration, as well as the conversion rate, tax/discount rate, and memory contents.
To replace the paper roll, follow these steps:
Do not pull the paper backwards, as this may cause damage to the printing mechanism.
You can clear the calculator in different ways depending on the situation:
To install a new ink ribbon, follow these steps:
The 'E' or 'Error' message on the display indicates an overflow or an error condition. This can occur in several situations:
In rare cases, it can also appear if the calculator is exposed to strong electromagnetic noise or static electricity.
To program the tax rate, follow these steps:
To get out of FIX mode, set the DECIMAL SELECTOR to the “F” position. This will display the answer in the floating decimal system instead of a fixed number of decimal places.
The Sharp EL-2630PIII calculator includes the following memory functions:
To set the time and date, follow these steps:
To turn off the calculator, set the POWER SWITCH to the “OFF” position.
The grand total (GT) function accumulates the results of calculations. To use it, ensure the GRAND TOTAL/RATE SETTING MODE SELECTOR is in the "GT" position. After performing a series of calculations, press the GT key to print and clear the accumulated grand total.
You can set the number of decimal places for display using the DECIMAL SELECTOR. This selector allows you to preset the number of decimal places in the answer. Options typically include F (floating decimal system), 6, 3, 2, 1, and 0.
Your calculator is rounding up results because the ROUNDING SELECTOR is set to the “↑” position. To change this, adjust the rounding selector to either the “5/4” position for rounding off or the “↓” position for rounding down.
The percent (%) key is used for percentage calculations. For example:

on the sharp EL-2630Piii, when I type 1234 and the decimal selector is set to 2, the number reads as $1,234.00. How to I get it to show $12.34
To change the decimal setting on the Sharp EL-2630PIII to display $12.34 instead of $1,234.00, you need to adjust the decimal point selector on the calculator. Set the decimal selector switch to "2", which formats numbers to show two digits after the decimal point (e.g., 12.34).

To type "4599" without the decimal automatically changing to "45.99" on a Sharp EL-2630PIII, adjust the decimal selector setting. Set the decimal selector to "F" (floating) or "0" (no decimal places) to prevent automatic decimal placement.

The printer stopped printing! The paper won't move at all. Do I need a new ribbon?
A Sharp EL-2630PIII printer could stop printing and the paper may not move due to a paper jam, especially if the paper roll was inserted with a torn edge or pulled backward. The paper could also get stuck behind internal parts like the black ball, or there may be slack in the ribbon or paper path obstruction.
