Price is what the vendor listed when last checked. Confirm it with the vendor before buying.

Setup with instructions Once it is connected to a phone, this is a self-contained unit. A family member can set it up from the manual in about half an hour, so guided setup fits. Learning TTY etiquette, like using GA and SK keys to take turns, takes a little practice but needs no clinician.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

The PortaPrinter 2000 Standard is a portable TTY, a device that lets you hold a phone conversation by typing instead of listening. Your typed words and the other person's replies show on a 20-character display, and a built-in 24-column printer can put the conversation on paper in three print sizes. Acoustic cups fit round and square phone handsets, so you can use it with a regular phone. It also has a call alert for incoming TTY calls, a built-in clock and calendar, upper and lower case printing, and an electronic voice. It runs on a rechargeable battery, which lasts about 3-7 hours on a full charge, so plan on charging it regularly if you use it away from an outlet.

    3. Set the clock and calendar, load printer paper, and try a test call with someone who has a TTY or a relay service. Plan on about 30 minutes.
