IRVINE , California ( Sep 29, 2008 ) :
Toshiba America Business Solutions Inc. (TABS) today announced the launch of the e-STUDIO™202S/203S/203SD multifunction product (MFP) series, a compact fully-featured copy/scan/print device for today’s small business markets. Toshiba’s e-STUDIO202S/203S/203SD includes robust features and paper handling options of a full-sized monochrome MFP in an affordable price point, capable of producing crisp, sharp documents at business speeds, and ideal for quick and nimble small workgroups.
“Today’s business owner is constantly looking for ways to be more efficient in spending, time management, and office space, and the new e-STUDIO202S/203S/203SD line delivers in all three areas,” said Joe Contreras, director, Product and Solutions Marketing for TABS. “The e-STUDIO202S/203S/203SD series delivers all-in-one functionality that can reside in the same space as a stand-alone business printing solution, deliver fast copy and print speeds, and still fit within the budget of small or medium businesses.”
The e-STUDIO202S/203S/203SD series is a USB-connected MFP that can be set-up and configured in minutes and features a first copy output speed of 8 seconds flat, and can sustain crisp, clean copies at 20 copies-per-minute (CPM). Designed for small workgroups, the Toshiba e-STUDIO202S prints office documents at 15 pages-per-minute (PPM), while the e-STUDIO203S/203SD series offers faster speeds of 20 ppm. The line of small office MFP’s features a 250-sheet cassette and a 50-sheet bypass standard, keeping an active office’s document workflow at an efficient speed. And for heavier document output needs, the additional 250-sheet cassette can double the series’ paper capacity. For companies that need two-sided printing, the e-STUDIO203SD offers duplexing as a standard feature.
The e-STUDIO202S/203S/203SD scans in full color at resolutions of 600x600 dots-per-inch (dpi) and can scan and copy large documents, proposals and presentations with ease with the optional 50-sheet automatic document feeder or reverse automatic document feeder. The included Desktop Document manager allows end-users to scan documents from the e-STUDIO202S/203S/203SD directly to their local workstation in a variety of popular editable office formats, such as Microsoft™ Word and Excel via the integrated Optical Character Recognition (OCR) solution. The e-STUDIO203S/203SD also offers the Network Expansion Print/Scan Kit and Fax Kit for companies with an existing wired network, or that require a faxing component.
The e-STUDIO202S/203S/203SD series is immediately available through Toshiba’s nationwide network of dealers at a suggested list price of $1,295, $1,495 and $1,695 respectively.
