Adding Machines


Calculator, adding machine and register may seem to be synonymous terms, but they are each very different machines. A calculator is a device that is able to perform an array of mathematical functions, and it may or may not have the means to print these answers on paper. An adding machine, usually used by accountants, is a machine that uses ink ribbon and paper to print the results of simple mathematical operations. A person uses a register to keep track of and to total money.

Not all businesses need a 10 key adding machine. However, they are helpful for a number of reasons:

1. Adding machines are relatively inexpensive.
2. Adding machines provide paper copies of amounts and totals.
3. Adding machines are simple to use.

If you decide to buy adding machines for your business, remember to keep everything you need for them in stock. You do not want to run out of paper, ink ribbons or batteries just when you need them most.

Buy an adding machine online

Websites offer products from a large selection of calculator adding machine dealers and manual adding machine dealers that sell both new and used products.

Buy your business adding machine directly from a manufacturer

Manufacturers continue to make adding machines. Consider buying directly from them. This way, you know exactly what you are getting.

Remember to buy adding machine ribbon and other necessities

Each adding machine will require certain accessories. If these do not come with the adding machine you purchase, you need to buy them. Make sure the products you buy, like adding machine paper, are compatible with your adding machine.
  • Remember to train all of your employees. Even though adding machines appear easy to use, you need to ensure that everyone actually knows how to use them and how to change ribbons and paper rolls.
