Paper will not feed up to the top and then advance when using the calculator. This is a MP12D calculator and in like new condition, but the only problem is the paper not feeding up. All numbers are on top of each other.

SOURCE: PAPER FEED

Assuming that you know where the paper gets feed in, I usually use this trick to start a new roll of paper.
First, tear off the end of the new roll so that there isn't any glue stuck on the paper.
Then, fold the tip of the paper like an arrow. (Fold one side to the middle and the other side to the middle so both sides meet in the middle.
Then, place the paper into the slot where the paper feeds in.. (Usually goes under the printer assembly) and then hit the PAPER FEED button at the same time. If the paper is in the correct slot, the paper should start feeding the paper all the way through.
Hope this helps.
Have a good day.

SOURCE: loading printer paper

Where I was guiding the paper, after feeding the paper through the back of the machine (the slot is located on the outside of the back of the machine), the paper naturally wanted to enter underneath the black plastic plate where it would end up underneath the entire printing mechanism. As the instructions indicate, the paper does not actually feed "under the black plastic plate", it should feed through it. There are two rectangular silver tabs, one on each side of the proper paper entry slot. I cut the paper at a very slight angle and finally found the magic entry point. Also if you make an arrow with the paper by folding the sides, it will help guide it in that tiny silver slot. Because the machine is so tiny, that entry slot is almost invisible, except for those two silver tabs. After you manage to insert the end of the angled cut through the "invisible slot" be sure the entire edge of the paper actually enters the slot so that when you push the "Feed" button, the paper is grabbed and fished through evenly. Hope this helps somebody!

SOURCE: loading paper

The entry point is on the back bottom of the machine. Cut your paper into a shallow triangle w/a slight point in the middle. Guide it through the slot on the back, and then lift that point up so that it goes into an almost invisible opening with small silver metal tabs on either side. The paper will want to feed underneath the entire black plastic mechanism, but don't let it. As the instructions indicate, the paper does not actually feed "under the black plastic plate", but through it. After you manage to insert the point of your paper through the correct slot, make sure the entire edge of the paper actually enters so it is grabbed when you push "Feed."

SOURCE: how to feed paper into a canon palm size printing

There should be a small slot in the rear, gently feed the end into it while pressing the paper feed/advance button.

SOURCE: We can't figure out how to feed the new paper into

The calculator wouldn't take the paper but when he cut the corners off the paper to make a blunt "V", it grabbed the paper right away and pulled it through.

How to install paper

Without a manual, look at the picture of the calculator. Mount the paper, with the feed coming forward and over the top of the calculator. Insert the paper (recommend cutting it flush) into the feed slot in the back. Then use the paper advance key to advance the paper through the rollers. Unfortunately the manual is not available from the Staples website. Good Luck,

I have an old Sharp EL-1701C calculator and for some reason can not feed a new roll of paper into the unit? Batteries are new and the feed option works well, just doesn't grab the paper roll to start?

you may need to cut the corners off a little bit on the start of the new roll and feed the paper in while advancing with the calculator advance control/button

I do not know how to put the tape into the calculator. There is a place in the back that it looks like it should go - I put it in there, press the advance paper key and nothing happens.

Push the roll of paper in until it will go in no further. On mine, it goes a bit more than a quarter of an inch. Once the paper is in all the way, press the Feed button until it shows at the top.

If it is still not feeding through, you may have a jam somewhere. Take the top of the paper area off and manually inspect the area to make sure nothing is out of place.

If you are still having problems, try feeding the paper in without the cover on. You can watch to see what is stopping it.

Adding paper

There is no manual available for this model online.

However, there are two basic methods. Always make sure you are puting in paper that has been cut cleanly with scissors, not torn, as this can ruin your printer. If you have a slot on the back of the machine, just under where the paper roller typically sits on the holder, with the calculator off feed the paper in that slot (rolling out from the bottom). Then turn the printer on, and hit the feed to advance the paper into the printer.

If there is no slot on the back, you will see that the opening where the paper comes out from the top is "subdivided", and when it has printed, it is coming out of the front partition of that slot. Make sure the printer is off, feed the paper into the back portion of the opening, rolling from the top. Then turn the printer on, and hit the feed to advance the paper into the printer.

Either method should solve the issue exactly, and once the paper has fed in, then place the roll onto the holder. You're set!

Please post back if you need more help, otherwise thank you for using and rating FixYa!

Hi, I had the same problem...but I fixed it. Here's how: At the very back of the calculater under the paper roller there is a very thin horizontal slot. Insert the tip of the paper roll into the slot, then press the paper advance button located on the top left hand sidw of the calculator until you see the paper. Guide the paper through the top slot and voila.
