Compared with typical modern equipment of a similar kind the TELESTARs have only one quarter of the volume, weight and power consumption and yet offer the high effective printout speed of 35 characters per second as well as a wide range of selectable text transmission speeds up to the extremely high rate of 9600 bits per second. All TELESTARs are of the same small size equivalent to that of a small portable typewriter.
