Assuming that that is similar to the Krown Research Porta Printer Plus, it
is NOT ASCII. Baudot (actually Murray) at ~150 baud
It is a TDD (a TTY commonly used by deaf people for telephone calls)
Notice the presence of certain extra keys: GA, SK
It needs 6VDC; since they go through batteries rather rapidly, it should
have a wallwart.

While probably over 10 years old, they are still in active use.
Deaf community organizations peddle refurbed ones (about $75?)
