simplex printer
<communications> A term applied by Western Union Telegraph Company to
teletypewriters that are not part of a multiplex system. They usually provided
for alternate transmission in both directions. If working simplex or
half-duplex, what was keyed in at the keyboard would be typed out at the
printing portion. If working full-duplex, sending would be blind as the printing
portion was being used only for reception.
