Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon PIDHV Printing Calculator (9493A001AC)
Customer Review: Paper difficult to load. Decimal point disappointingly and irritatingly tiny.
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this calculator a week ago at Office Depot. I had a lot of difficulty loading the printer paper (just where exactly am I supposed to insert the paper?...) The most irritating thing for me about this calculator is that the decimal point is very tiny and tends to get lost (and hence very easy to overlook) among the otherwise large and very clear display numerals. Also the Print indicator is much too tiny for my liking.
As for the instructions - they left me wondering what Canon was thinking when they designed the layout of the instructions. The instructions begin with calculation examples, then explain what the different keys are used for. Next is the list of specifications. Then follow instructions for loading and replacing the batteries. At this point, if you're wondering how to load the paper, you'll find them on the backside of the instructions rather than toward the beginning of the instructions where you might logically expect them to be. As for loading the paper, it took me several guesses before I finally figured out exactly where to insert the paper. Otherwise, I basically like the features of the calculator except for, in my honest opinion, the inadequately tiny decimal point.
In summary, the seemingly illogical order in which the instructions are laid out, an unsatisfactory decimal point size, and the unnecessary difficulty in loading the paper detract from an otherwise easy to use compact calculator with a very clear display and a nice printout. In conclusion, I would suggest checking out other calculators before purchasing this one to make sure you're satisfied with all of its features.
Customer Review: Hand-held calculator
Summary: 2 Stars
This calculator looked like exactly what I wanted - small, portable, simple. But, as some others said, loading the paper is impossible and the instructions are not at all helpful. I never figured out how to feed the paper through and am planning to return it. This is a disappointment because any of the other paper-print calculators I've seen are about twice as big.Customer Review: Impossible to load paper
Summary: 1 Stars
This calculator was fine until the paper roll ran out. It was impossible to load a new roll. I've used many other calculators and never had this problem. I threw it away.Customer Review: Hated it!
Summary: 1 Stars
Loading the paper was extremely difficult. It is definitely not worth the bother.
