If you mean a telex machine, it has a keyboard like a typewriter and also has a printer. That is why it is also known as a "teleprinter". If you know someone you want to send a message to has a similar telex machine, you can set up a call to their "telex service number", just like a telephone call but with no speech. Then you can type in your message and the the telex machine at the other end of the line will print it out.

telex

The international telegraphic message-transfer service consisting of a network of teleprinters. Subscribers to a telex service can exchange textual communications and data directly with one another. Telex systems originated in Europe in the early 1930s and were widely used for several decades. The ability to conduct high-speed digital communication over regular telephone lines led to a decline in the use of telex, but it is still used as a data transmission service for applications in which high transmission speeds are not necessary or in areas where more modern data equipment is not available.

Are Telex Machine still used How do they work for code operations?

Telex machines are still used. Not widely, and their days are numbered, but they still play an important role. 1. In parts of the banking and financial system they are still used for some types of trade and confirmation, because telex messages are legal documents unlike faxes or emails. Both sender and recipient are formally identified (they have to be subscribers to the telex network), neither party can deny the transmission (the sender can't claim that they didn't send it, nor the recipient that they didn't receive it), and the message can't be faked. 2. Ocean-going ships are still required to have telex machines, as a safety requirement. 3. In remote parts of Africa, telex is still the most reliable (and often only) form of government and administrative communication. The very low bandwidth means telex can work in places where voice and internet cannot, such as over low quality radio or microwave connections.
