The typical scenario will be a kid comes up to the machine and types in their name to a prompt after which the teletype will print out their name on the papertape.  A solenoid sounds like a proper choice in this case, but I’m wondering if there is another solution.  Is there a separate path to the printer and the papertape for the signals once they have been decoded?

The purpose was when the 8K (yes, 8K) memory computer would change ASCII to EIA and punch the EIA tape program.  Believe it or not, I actually  ended up repairing the computer as well as the 33's.  Alden Self Transit was the computer company and they went out of business.  It was 3 power supplies and 3 circuit boards with 8 proms.  About 50 screws to take cover off the circuit board section.
