Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Most printing calculators are small enough to be called portable, but few can boast the features and slimness of the Casio HR-8L handheld printing calculator. A tiny 1.5 by 3.6 by 7.5 inches, the HR-8L slips into a pocket, portfolio, or briefcase for computations anywhere you travel.

Nothing can protect your computations like a printing calculator. How many times have you added a list of numbers on a standard calculator only to loose your place or make an error in the middle of your figuring? The HR-8L has a 10-digit display screen for easy notations that also prints at speeds up to 1.6 lines per second. Perfect for calculations wherever you need them, the HR-8L has a full decimal system, including options for floating, fixed (0 to 3) with round-off, and cut-off modes.

With the Casio HR-8L, you can clear errors with a touch of the right shift key. The large display is not sacrificed in the small-sized case. A function command sign appears in the display to keep your place in your current calculation. Rely on independent memory in four keys, plus other functions like time calculations and a markup/markdown key. Tap the auto feed button to advance the paper roll. The dual paper roll system provides inner and outer rolls in a manageable 2.25-inch width.

The whole HR-8L unit is just 10.5 ounces. It's easy to use on a plane, at a restaurant table, or even at the home office. The HR-8L operates with the convenient portable power source of four AA batteries. --Barbara Price

I have now had this calculator for a year and don't have any complaints, keeping in mind that it is a small calculator, not a full-size one. I sometimes don't hit the keys correctly because they are fairly small, but that is the price for having a compact calculator, which is exactly what I needed. If you have the space for a full-size calculator and will be using it a lot, I would recommend getting something bigger. Otherwise, this is a very good choice. I use rechargeable NiMH AA batteries in it (it takes 4), and simply recharge them every 3-4 months or so as needed. I bought this to replace a very similar Casio which had given me about 15 years of good service until it stopped advancing the paper properly when printing. If this newer one gives me equally long service I will be very pleased.
