What you probably have is a Qwint 740 or 780 (I'd
have
to see it to know what model). It was the smallest
plain paper teletype replacement probably ever
built.
I have a TI model that I think is a tad smaller than
the Qwint.
Ahhh, but the trick is that it's PLAIN PAPER (dot
matrix impact). Qwint sold these printers to VAR's
that found this very useful (filling out multipart
forms, etc). It's cost per page was much lower than
thermal, also.

That is definitely a unique feature. I'll have to check if the TI was
plain paper or not. I'm pretty sure it used thermal paper.

TI 73x series terminals are thermal paper printers.

Every TI "Silent 700" series teleterminal use thermal paper. They were
practically designed around that weird little thermal head.
