I don't remember it being non-standard.
We had one in college, in 1974. We got rid of it as soon as possible
because it was even less reliable than an ASR33. It would jam
constantly. Sometimes it was the head jamming on the paper, sometimes
it was the head jamming on the carriage. Also, it had the worst
keyboard I ever saw; it too tended to jam.
We replaced it by an LA36, which was faster, and utterly reliable.
