Some background on TTY's that may prove helpful:

An emulator:

And the serial impact dot matrix printer that replaced the AP and UPI teletype printers in the late 70's and early 80's:


Harris shipped the 9000 radio automation system with these.  I had one in use at KAER (FM), Sacramento, and later was given the system including terminal and printer for the Radio/TV class I was teaching at the time.

I remember the printer brand as Exel, but googling that brings up only one reference and photo... which you see.
