It feels strange calling a calculator ergonomic, but that's the only word that describes the design of the EL-1192BL. The large keys look and feel like those found on a computer keyboard, with beveled edges and slightly concave tops that virtually eliminate input errors. The 12-digit display isn't the standard black and gray LCD calculator users are used to; instead, its bright green illuminated numbers are legible in any lighting condition. It's a touch that anyone who spends hours in front of a calculator each day will appreciate. The printer unit uses two colors (black for positives, red for negatives), and it is very noisy, but produces crisp output. It's an impact device, meaning it uses standard paper rolls instead of the more expensive thermal paper, and a three-line-per-second print speed means it should keep up well with all but the most nimble-fingered users.
As for features, there's plenty of stuff here that business users will like. Dedicated tax keys let us establish a standard tax rate and apply it to our figures with a single keystroke. A correction key let us delete the last number we entered to erase mistakes, and a grand-total key made it easy to total the results from multiple calculations. A switch at the top let us easily select one of six decimal display modes, including floating, fixed (3, 2, 1, and 0), and an add mode. Another switch controls whether decimals are rounded up or down. If you can live with the clatter from the printer and have the space on your desk to accommodate such a large calculator, the EL-1192BL is a powerful adding machine and calculator that will suit businesses of all types. --T.

Great Home Office Calculator,
By Boudica (Ohio USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sharp EL-1192BL Desktop 2 Color Printing Calculator (Office Product)
I run a home business and keeping books is a critical part of my daily work. I needed a calculator that had large numbers, larger keys and printed off tape.Scrounging around Amazon.com I came across several models that would have done the job well. I have had Sharp calculators in my office at work, and know this to be a reliable brand. I came across this particular model, and having done some on line research, Amazon had the cheapest price of anyone on this model. I have to say that I have not been disappointed in this purchase. It is a very reliable calculator, the paper tape with 2 color printout is very readable, and the numbers are large, well lit and the keys fit my big fat fingers. It has some great features like percentage and sales tax that you can place the sales tax % in memory. There are other tax functions as well. This calculator does not take batteries, and that's fine cause it's a waste of money to put batteries in one of these. This is a good calculator and one that I do recommend for the home office.

Our business requires we use a calculator, and this is the first one I have bought. It works great, simple and the tape is a standard tape size so I can get it at my local grocery store. Very nice.

SHARP is sharp.,
This review is from: Sharp EL-1192BL Desktop 2 Color Printing Calculator (Office Product)
This calculator is of the highest quality and and rates a superior performance grade for a desktop unit. The print is extremely legible and remains so on the paper even in a closed book (ledger) environment. I highly recommend this product!
