WHAT DOES TELEPRINTER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Teleprinter

A teleprinter is an electromechanical typewriter that can be used to send and receive typed messages from point to point and point to multipoint over various types of communications channels. They were adapted to provide a user interface to early mainframe computers and minicomputers, sending typed data to the computer and printing the response. Some models could also be used to create punched tape for data storage and to read back such tape for local printing or transmission. Teleprinters could use a variety of different communication media. These included a simple pair of wires, dedicated non-switched telephone circuits, switched networks that operated similarly to the public telephone network, and radio and microwave links. A teleprinter attached to a modem could also communicate through standard switched public telephone lines. This latter configuration was often used to connect teleprinters to remote computers, particularly in time-sharing environments. Teleprinters have largely been replaced by fully electronic computer terminals which usually use a computer monitor instead of a printer.
