TOSHIBA AMERICA BUSINESS SOLUTIONS INC. BRINGS NEW MID-VOLUME COLOR OFFERINGS TO BUSINESSES
Newly Designed e-STUDIO™ Color Multifunction Products Deliver Best-In-Class Image Quality for Demanding Multi-User Office Environments
IRVINE , California ( Jun 10, 2008 ) :
Toshiba America Business Solutions Inc. (TABS) today made it easier to bring color printing into the business environment with the introduction of the e-STUDIO™2830c/3530c/4520c series of color multifunction products (MFP). This new line of high-speed color MFPs was developed by Toshiba for multi-user offices and mid-volume printing environments that want high-quality color printing at monochrome speeds. The e-STUDIO2830c/3530c/4520c series features Toshiba’s next generation e-BRIDGE™ controller for efficient processing and multi-tasking, and a new Easily Replaceable Unit design, keeping maintenance downtime to an absolute minimum for maximum productivity.
“In today’s business landscape, the demand for color is no longer limited to the large-sized organization,” said Joseph Contreras, director, Product and Solutions Marketing, TABS. “Businesses use color to differentiate themselves in the marketplace, and the new e-STUDIO2830c/3530c/4520c series is an enterprise-minded color MFP designed specifically for businesses of all sizes that require fast output speeds and competitive cost-per-page.”
The e-STUDIO2830c/3530c/4520c series can print color at 28, 35 and 45 pages-per-minute (PPM) respectively with a first copy out time of less than eight seconds, providing fast color printing to businesses with moderate output needs. Utilizing Toshiba’s leading-edge enhanced laser image technology (e-Fine), these new color MFP products deliver best-in-class color clarity and rich text renditions in all scanning, printing and copying jobs. Supporting print resolutions of 1,200 x 1,200 dots-per-inch (dpi) and 10-bit scanning resolutions of 600 x 600 dpi, the e-STUDIO2830c/3530c/4520c series provides razor sharp text and superior graphic detail in all printed documents.
Highly Secure Next Generation e-BRIDGE Controller
Toshiba’s next generation e-BRIDGE controller takes document security to the next level by featuring integrated Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) hard disk encryption, IPv6, IPSec, SNMPv3 and 802.1x authentication, protecting the document workflow all the way to the network. The e-STUDIO2830c/3530c/4520c series also includes Encrypted PDF, enabling users to password-protect documents when creating scanned PDFs, to prevent unauthorized viewing or printing. For an additional level of protection, the e-STUDIO2830c/3530c/4520c can be outfitted with the optional Data Overwrite Kit, ensuring that digital scans saved on the internal hard drive are completely eliminated after the print job is completed.
Toner and Paper Replacement Without Workflow Interruption
Toshiba’s new Easily Replaceable Unit (ERU) technology ensures that the e-STUDIO2830c/3530c/4520c series stays running at full capacity, even when the products need their consumable supplies refreshed. As part of the series’ new design, the toner and paper cartridges are readily accessible and can be changed or serviced while the unit is in use. The ERU system keeps document workflow at a consistent rate. Coupled with an estimated monthly print duty cycle of up to 56,000 sheets for the e-STUDIO2830c and 70,000 sheets for the e-STUDIO3530c and e-STUDIO4520c, the entire series provides business owners and office managers the peace of mind that, no matter how big or complex the print job, it can be completed without interruption.
Integrated Windows Vista Support
Building on its long-standing relationship with Microsoft, the e-STUDIO2830c/3530c/4520c MFP series provides Windows Vista-specific printing enhancements in the form of XPS Print Path drivers, Windows Color System support and Windows Vista WS print and scan support, while remaining 100 percent backwards-compatible with existing deployments. This XPS format integration offers full printer functionality and enables users to print 2007 Microsoft Office system documents directly to the MFP without the wasted overhead of file conversion.
The e-STUDIO2830c/3530c/4520c color MFP product family is immediately available through Toshiba’s nationwide network of dealers.
