The TS2080 was a full-size printer the provided 80 columns of dot matrix output, including all the characters in the TS2068. It would have plugged into a Centronics parallel printer port on the 2060 Bus Expansion Unit. According to one vendor, it was a Cal-Abco Legend 880 printer. E. Arthur Brown claimed it was a Mannesmann-Tally MT-80 in one of his catalogs.

The 2060 Bus Expansion Unit provided support in ROM for two channels; The ’C’ channel for listings or character oriented data and the ’G’ channel for graphics data. The ’G’ channel sends the full 8 bit data allowing control codes to be sent directly to the attached printer. The ’C’ channel will not send control codes.
