Sharp Calculator Types We Carry

Our Sharp Calculators collection covers every major Sharp calculator category for office and professional use:

  • Sharp Desktop Calculators (EL-M Series) – compact to large-display desktop calculators for everyday office and home arithmetic; available with tax calculation, cost/sell/margin functions, and currency conversion; solar + battery hybrid power (e.g. Sharp EL-233SB, EL-334WB, EL-1197PIII)
  • Sharp Printing Calculators (EL Series) – two-colour ribbon printing calculators that produce a paper tape record of every calculation; essential for accounting, bookkeeping, cash reconciliation, and audit trail applications (e.g. Sharp EL-1750V, EL-1801V, EL-2196BL)

Sharp WriteView Display Technology

Sharp’s scientific calculators feature WriteView (W) display technology, which shows mathematical expressions — including fractions, roots, exponents, and integrals — in the same natural format as they appear in textbooks. This reduces transcription errors and makes it easier to verify input before calculating. WriteView is Sharp’s equivalent to Casio’s Natural Textbook Display (NTD) and is available on the EL-W series scientific calculators.
