INTRODUCTION

1

Many firms and industries are aware of the importance of
selecting efficient and secure solutions for sharing and managing
information to maximise the value of their business.

Achieving these and similar goals were contributing factors
for implementing Toshiba’s e-BRIDGE technology into our line
of multifunctional systems, and the driving force behind the
development of the 2nd Generation technology.

As a pioneer and technological innovator, Toshiba has
developed new competitive MFP solutions that lead the
way in high-quality document management and work flow
performance.

New sales opportunities lie in the growth of networked office
environments and the demand for digital multifunctionality.
There is also an increased demand for higher performance.

Notable, the majority of our customers within the low to mid­range markets have followed this trend and demand greater
versatility, flexibility, and durability as well as the latest in
connectivity, security, customisation, and lower maintenance
costs, especially cost-per-copy.

Following the success of its predecessors, Toshiba proudly
presents the new modular mid-range e-STUDIO232/282. This
well-renowned line of models now offers refreshing strengths
and competitive performance from the 2nd generation e­BRIDGE technology, and introduces similar or improved
capabilities to those seen in higher segment models.

The result is a solution that rivals and counters our closest
competitors by setting new standards in functional integration
and flexible architecture, noise reduction, and lowering running
cost. In addition, we have also introduced other technologies
that offer more satisfaction through strengthened solutions
and performance benefits, increased security measures, and
user-friendliness.

USER SEGMENTS

The e-STUDIO232/282 therefore appeals to small offices
with few employees as well as medium- to large-sized
departmental office environments. Users will value the ease
of use, flexibility and time saving benefits these advanced
features will offer and the harmonious design will easily fit
into almost any environment. In addition, the system provides
a strong blend of extensive network-ready functionality with
the necessary security features for safe sharing and storage of
digital documents.

The responsible sales professionals should focus on the
following factors and user advantages when approaching a
potential client for the e-STUDIO232/282:

Analogue Machine Users

Existing analogue users can gain tremendous productivity
advantages by switching to a digital copier, especially because
of the added memory copying, scanning and electronic sorting.
For instance, these digital features allow for immediate retrieval
of the originals whilst the job is being completed. This not only
means a saving in time and an improvement in productivity,
but also a reduction in power consumption. It is also important
to point out that the integrated multifunctionality of the e­STUDIO232/282 will play a vital role for analogue users
seeking a flexible and durable system by offering higher
usability and network connectivity.

Digital Machine Users

Existing digital users are aware of the cost benefit of digital
MFP systems, but often the wish to take advantage of more
convenient functions means acquiring expensive parts and
controllers. Here it is important to emphasise that the e­STUDIO232/282 can expand and be integrated under various
business environments by taking advantage of the copy-printer­scan-network capabilities.

First / Additional Purchasers

The majority of these customers are mainly found within big
company departments, but also smaller environments such
as home offices (SOHOs), start up companies and aspiring
entrepreneurs that all stand to benefit from our all-in-one office
solutions. Again, it is essential to point out that integration
and management in the clients network is abreeze for one or
many e-studio devices supplementing a centralised machine
and reducing “bottlenecks” with a more flexible solution. As a
result, many of the running-costs and Total-Cost-of-Ownership
(TCO) related to productivity and daily operations can be
reduced or even eliminated. The ability to adapt with changing
business environments via the integrated network solutions are
qualities that should be explained to your customer.

After reading this sales guide, the professional sales person will
understand the strong merits of the e-STUDIO232/282 and
how they relate to and are of benefit to the above mentioned
user segments.

solution or a stand-alone machine. For
instance, exchanging electronic documents
and managing various data are now carried
out more easily and more securely than
ever before with strong and reliable access
manag ement throu gh individual User
Authentication. Also the optional Data
Overwrite Kit will securely and permanently
erase unwanted data, leaving no retrievable
trace behind. In addition, installing the
optional Scrambler Board will offer even
higher levels of security with its industrial
strength encryption of any data remaining
on the hard drive after copying, printing,
scanning or faxing is completed. Utilising
all security solutions will provide the highest
industry level safeguards for protecting
sensitive or classified information.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

5

The e-STUDIO232/282 provide all the advantages of a digital copier and satisfy the
versatility and flexibility of a multifunctional system with outstanding quality and
speed. With our unique network ready MFP design, users will have quick access to a
multitude of templates and other simple step-by-step features that delivers maximum
value for minimum outlay.

Depending on your individual sales technique and the needs of your prospects, the
following presents the main features and their related benefits, which we recommend
as a general guideline as well as sales aid during presentations.

PRODUCTIVITY

Assuring the highest productivity for our customers has always been one of the
cornerstones of Toshiba’s worldwide products. The e-STUDIO232/282 feature the
latest in technological insights and front-end solutions that will only increase that
reputation.

MULTITASK FEATURES

With today’s vast amounts of information, selecting the right multitasking tools
is critical in helping you save time, increase overall efficiency, and streamline
your workflow. The e-STUDIO232/282 provide just the right blend of multi­functional productivity with their new levels of machine integration and stronger
performance. This provides quick access to numerous copy-print-scan-network
capabilities that allow concurrent and/or overlapping tasks to be carried out
simultaneously or sequentially.

Scan Once/Copy Many

The Scan Once/Copy Many functionality provides a tremendous productivity
increase in comparison with analogue copiers thanks to utilising the hard drive
capacity and fast scanning speed that also surpasses the printing speed of most
analogue copiers. In other words, rather than by continual scanning of the
original, multiple copies are made from the stored image in the memory. This
not only results in speedier output after scanning, but the copy job can also be
saved for later retrieval. Another benefit over analogue copiers is the reduction
of noise and excess power consumption resulting from multiple scanning.

Convenient Electronic Sort

Thanks to the high memory capacity, once all originals are scanned and stored
in memory the outputs of copies/prints are instantly sorted without the need
for mechanical sorters. Electronic sorting makes it easy to separate jobs at the
point of printing (alternation) or allow documents to be copied/printed in proper
magazine order (magazine sort).

Job Build

The e-studio232/282 is equipped with the unique Job Build function in copying
mode. This feature enables combinations of different jobs, so if your original
contains pages that have to be handled differently such as single or double sided,
varying enlargements or reductions, various image quality settings to name just
a few- these can be combined as a single job. Add electronic sorting with Job
Build and you have a dramatic increase in productivity and efficiency.

Multitasking Features

The e-STUDIO232/282 provides a range of multi-tasking features such as
concurrent processing and dual agent functions that help streamline office
workflow and increase overall productivity. Concurrent Processing allows users
to process one job while another is still in progress, which reduces downtime,
and provides users with the possibility to use both fax and scan while printing,
just to mention a few. Dual Agent Processing also saves time by allowing users
to combine two agents for simple operation and assign them to a convenient
template, making it possible to initiate two jobs simultaneously.

SPEED

The e-STUDIO232/282 are faster and more efficient than previous models,
providing users with many customisable, result-oriented and multifunctional
features such as high-speed print/scan, concurrent multi-job tasks, and easy
operation that will help maximise productivity.

High Performance Processor and High-Speed Memory

The e-STUDIO232/282’s 2nd generation e-BRIDGE technology makes a
considerable difference in performance, and what’s more, they also come
equipped with a new processor core and increased memory capacity to increase
overall output efficiency. As a result, embedded with the high performance
PowerPC 750CXr (333 MHz), designed along RISC microprocessor principles,
and high-speed memory (256MB DDR DRAM) for system performance, the
new e-BRIDGE Controller provides concurrent processing of copying, printing,
scanning without straining the CPU and memory.

Maximum Speed Performance

The e-STUDIO232/282 combine many improvements that help users achieve
maximum performance through quick machine access and speedy output. For
instance, each MFP system comes with a remarkable first copy speed of 5.4
seconds as well as a redesigned duplexing mechanism that results in 100%
productivity without the usual loss in speed.

Speedy and High-Quality Scanning

Users will find that high-quality scanning is quick and easy when either selecting
the fast scanning speed of 50 scans per minute (spm) at an image resolution
of 400 dpi (scan mode), or the speedy 45 spm at a higher resolution of 600
dpi (copy/scan mode). With these scanning speeds available, users will have
no trouble processing high volume scanning jobs. It also becomes possible to
efficiently convert paper documents into electronic format that can be easily
managed and shared in an electronic filing system.

ECONOMY

Keeping track on expenditure and striving towards the highest cost-benefit to a
business is a sound practice that is relevant today more than ever. With the release
of the e-STUDIO232/282 users now have access to the latest tool-kit for combating
waste in resources and time.

COST EFFICIENCY

Many factors influence durability, including quality of product, the frequency of
maintenance and the intensity of usage, just to mention a few. For this reason,
preventive maintenance can make a world of difference, especially when it
comes to improving the life expectancy of your investment. In line with Toshiba
Quality concept, we have addressed ways to further improve durability and
other related aspects in all our products, and we are certain that with the e­STUDIO232/282 users can truly look forward to maximised uptime and reduction

Improved Toner Life (Toner Recycle System)

The e-STUDIO232/282 introduces a new toner recycling system that does away
with the need for a waste toner bag and uses 100% of the toner without waste.
The space previously taken up by the waste toner bag has been replaced by a
new, much larger capacity toner cartridge, in fact it is approx 2.5 times larger.
Not only are these initiatives more environmentally friendly but also provide
users with the benefit of easy maintenance.

Conventional toner recycling systems suffer from inconsistent image quality
due to the deterioration of the toner and the contamination of paper fibres. The
e-STUDIO232/282 is equipped with a system that removes paper fibres and a
developing system that accurately controls the mix of waste and fresh toner to
ensure image quality is maintained from PM to PM.

Efficient and Cost-reducing Paper Savings

Finding new ways to reduce daily paper waste, lowering copy/print volume to
a reasonable level and ultimately cutting costs has been of top priority with the
e-STUDIO232/282. For example, the Automatic Duplexing Unit (ADU) makes

duplex printing easy with the potential to cut paper costs in half, and likewise
N-in-1 printing can reduce costs through condensing multiple originals on one

or both sides of a single sheet.

Additionally, standard or optional features like Network Fax Functionality, Proof
Copy, and Proof Print functions provide users with similar ways for reducing
any unnecessary printing costs.

ENVIRONMENT

Toshiba have always valued the importance of using recycled materials whenever
possible and to incorporate features to reduce power consumption and noise
levels for the benefit of the working environment. Our e-STUDIO232/282 reflect
these commitments via careful design and technology, and also by complying with
the Energy Star for their energy saving design initiatives. We have further restricted
the use of certain hazardous substances as stipulated in the international RoHS
Directive. Also, Toshiba has a long tradition of promoting the use of recyclable
plastic, lead- and halogen-free materials on Toshiba’s printed circuit boards, as
well as chromium (VI) free steel plates and screws.

Advanced Fusing System

Toshiba’s innovative and well-proven fusing technology has been further
enhanced in the e-STUDIO232/282. The Twin Lamp Fusing system consists of
separated lamps, concentrated at the centre and edges, where only the necessary
area heats up, providing a more efficient utilisation of energy. In addition, the
thin heat roller plates – about half the thickness than previously – enables better
heat distribution and toner is fused to the paper more evenly as a result. Likewise,
better utilisation of the low temperature fusing toner has resulted in significant
reductions in temperature compared with the previous model. Together these
improvements have reduced warm-up time to just 25 seconds.

Many Energy Saving Modes

Introducing power management techniques into our daily work is all about
simplicity, automation and the right of solutions. The e-STUDIO232/282
incorporate these energy saving functions; Auto Energy Saver, Auto Sleep
Mode, and Weekly Timer for minimising power consumption and reducing
electricity costs.

Low Noise (Quiet)

Studies have shown that noise is the number one disturbance in an open office
environment, and Toshiba are constantly finding new ways to reduce noise levels.
With the release of the e-STUDIO232/282, we have redesigned the overall paper
feeding mechanism and also introduced a new low noise RADF unit, resulting
in substantial reductions in noise levels during machine operation.

ISO 14001 Environmental Management Standard

Toshiba maintain high environmental standards in everyday operations, and
to date all of our manufacturing facilities have been awarded the ISO 14001
certification in recognition for their high environmental management system

HIGH IMAGE QUALITY

Toshiba has taken image quality to new heights, carefully considering the
feedback and opinions of our MFP users to bring about further refinement in the
e-STUDIO232/282, including:

Higher Image Reproduction Quality

As well as taking advantage of Toshiba’s original image processing technology,
successful reduction of size of the micrograins in the toner and developer has resulted
in higher image reproduction quality levels.

Sharper and Smoother Copied Text and Graphics

Digital copiers are well known for their excellent reproduction of characters and
graphics, and thanks to Toshiba’s original Serial Filter and Sharp Edge Processing
technology, every printout of the e-STUDIO232/282 provide superb image quality
with crystal clear rendition of even handwritten text and signatures written in
pencil. Edges are supremely sharp for both copied text and graphics, resulting in
heightened quality.

Image Adjustments (Background, Sharpness)

Besides the more common contrast adjustment of copy image quality, users can
further improve the output by adjusting both background and sharpness through a
simple operation on the Control Panel.

Original Modes

A broad selection of Original Modes ensures optimum copy image quality regardless
of the type of the original. Users can just use the standard exposure setting in the
default Text/Photo Mode or manually select between Text, Photo or Custom Mode
settings, which can be registered according to specific user needs.

POWERFUL PAPER HANDLING

Toshiba have always given high priority to developing strong paper handling
features in all our MFP products.

1

The e-STUDIO232/282 can play a vital role in the most demanding document
workflow due to their ability to control almost every step in the process,
providing document input, transmission, editing, output, storage and even
e-Filing capabilities. To some extent, this is accomplished by the versatile
integrated e-BRIDGE architecture, and high performance print engine of the
e-STUDIO232/282. The following lists some of the powerful paper handling
features available:

Stackless Automatic Duplexing Unit (ADU)

The standard ADU delivers two-sided copies/prints in minimal time. The structural
simplicity results in fewer paper jams and trouble-shooting is also easy and quick.
The design also leads to performance that’s 100% productive.

Stack Feed Bypass (SFB)

Various paper types like thick paper and OHP sheets are quickly fed through
the SFB unit that can easily hold up to 100 sheets at a time, providing users with
more copying/printing flexibility.

High Speed Scanning with Optional RADF

The optional RADF (Reversing Automatic Document Feeder) is an essential part
of the powerful paper handling features offered with the e-STUDIO232/282. It
has been redesigned for quieter operation, lighter weight, smaller dimensions
and easier access. Other design improvements are the transparent upper tray
which prevents users from leaving originals behind on the output tray, and the
more clearly visible paper-size markings which make it easier to feed different
sized originals at the same time.

EXPANDABILITY

The modular architecture of the e-STUDIO232/282 and the many available Expansion
Kits ensure a faster response to business situations. Building on the flexible e-BRIDGE
technology, it is easy for users to activate options to the already standard copy and
network capabilities. In this way, all advanced features can be quickly enabled
without the time-consuming installation of expensive system boards. Only the
Fax-option remains as a board to be installed in the traditional way. The following
mentions how users can easily expand the functionality of their MFP machine:

OPTIONAL FAX/INTERNET FAX FEATURES

1

The e-STUDIO232/282 comes with large memory capacity and support for
JBIG image compression technology, essential for cutting transmission time, of
large and complex documents. High-speed Walk-Up Fax capabilities become
available with the optional Fax Board installed, and with the additional Printer/
Scanner Kit or Scanner Kit installed, users will also have access to Internet Fax
and Network Fax capability.

Economical Internet Fax

The Internet Fax function replaces conventional fax transmission by exchanging
the data via the Internet. This drastically saves communication costs of the

conventional phone line and also offers the benefit of sending
to multiple recipients simultaneously. Also, On Ramp/Off

Ramp Gateway functionality is available.

Efficient Network Fax

The Network Fax function allows users to send a fax directly from the client PCs
without prior printing to specified destinations over the network and/or phone
line. You can therefore reduce unnecessary printing costs and manual handling.
In addition, incoming fax messages can be automatically stored into the e-Filing
box or forwarded directly to their final destinations according to the fax numbers,
resulting in a paperless office environment.

users who opt to only use the Printer Kit can later easily activate the scanning
functions using the Scanner Kit.

Network Print Features

The e-STUDIO232/282 offer sufficient memory and hard drive capacity to handle
large volume printing and high-resolution text and graphics. Using a hub, users
can take advantage of both existing cable-based networks as well as wireless LAN
systems to establish an optional wireless printing solution (IEEE802.11g). Also, in
terms of network print efficiency, compatibility with PCL6® and PostScript®3™
printer drivers (emulation) ensures faster printing of complex graphics and
improved print quality, truer to the original.

Network Scan Features

High-speed Network Scan capability embedded within the e-BRIDGE architecture
makes it easy for any user to scan documents, convert them into electronic form
and share them over the network. Using Scan to File allows users to store the
scanned images on a networked client PC or on the e-STUDIO232/282’s own
hard drive for later SMB/FTP retrieval. In a similar way, by using the Scan to
e-Filing (Scan to Box) enables users to store the scanned images in an e-Filing
box, on the hard drive of the e-STUDIO232/282, for easy centralised access to
scanned images via the TWAIN driver or “File Downloader”.

Scan to Email is another convenient feature that allows users to transfer scanned
images as email attachments to specific destinations via a mail server. Users can
choose to enter the destination email addresses manually, or take advantage of the
unified Address Book, which makes it easy to choose one or multiple recipients.
Not only will it be simple to share, store and access information but it will bring
about significant savings in both time and money.

SECURITY

As today’s workplace has become more integrated into various networks, demands
for flexible and simple solutions have increased, and likewise has the need for higher
security options. The e-STUDIO232/282 come with an array of solid standard security
solutions that can be easily expanded.

Hard Drive Data Security

In a multi-user environment information security is essential, and several solutions
are available to extend the level of security of the e-STUDIO232/282. As standard,
Toshiba’s proprietary compression technology offers high data security and makes
it almost impossible to extract information even if the hard drive was removed.
Adding the optional Scrambler Board offers an even tighter level of security for
businesses dealing with sensitive information. All data on the hard drive is encrypted
with a 128-bit security, ensuring that all information is stored safely within the
e-STUDIO232/282. An extra layer of security can also be achieved by adding the
optional Data Overwrite Kit, which erases data generated during printing, copying,
scanning and faxing process using the DoD standard methods, providing high levels
of security for sensitive information.

Private Print

Private Print protects confidential documents from unauthorised

public viewing. The user must first password protect each print
job on the computer, then at any time release the job for
immediate printing by entering the same password on the Touch
Panel Display. Releasing an entire batch of jobs can be done
in a similar way by using one password rather than several for
each of the jobs.

Password Management and Authentication

Password management has been further reinforced for the
e-STUDIO232/282 with 10-digit alphanumeric passwords for
administrators. Moreover, with the ability to recognise up to
1,000 Department Codes, and to authenticate up to 10,000
users with individual ID & Password, it is possible to restrict
machine access of each employee in almost any company.
Access is easily controlled, and unauthorised operations
prevented. Other security solutions like Active Directory and
SMTP/LDAP Authentication are also available.

IP Address Filtering is another way of controlling access to the
e-STUDIO232/282 by limiting the access based on the
individual client PC’s IP address. In this way it is possible to
strengthen security by blocking certain IP address or range
of IP values, and only allow designated client PCs to gain
machine access.

The sales professionals can use these examples to help expand their sales and
success in business.

1. What are the advantages of a digital copier?

Our small-sized company has for many years relied on an analogue copier,
but recently demands have outgrown the copier’s capacity and we’re therefore
looking for other solutions, so what’s behind the advantage of shifting towards
a digital machine?

Scan Once/Copy Many

Using digital solutions means, firstly taking advantage of the system’s memory capacity
as with the Scan Once/Copy Many functionality offered by the e-STUDIO232/282
for more productivity and convenience. Rather than the time-consuming and noisy
continual scanning of an original, multiple copies of a single original can be quickly
printed out of memory. Digital copier features delivers faster scanning and print
output, and with the ability to store jobs for later retrieval; something an analogue
copier cannot do.

7

2. What about the tiresome collating process?

Manually compiling and distributing paper documents to various workgroups
is often very time consuming and troublesome, so how can I become more
efficient and achieve greater productivity while reducing costs and time?

Electronic Sorting

The standard hard drive of the digital e-STUDIO232/282 enables the use of easy
and instantaneous electronic sorting of documents without the need for mechanical
sorters. More important, by combining electronic sorting with the optional finishers,
users also have access to everything needed for attractive automated stapling and
booklet making.

All-in-One

3. What are the merits of a multi-functional product?

Copier, printer, scanner and fax machine as well as office furniture and
different consumables all occupy valuable space, making the office
environment smaller. Furthermore, ordering different consumables for the
various devices separately is a pain as well as having several service agents.
Is there a better way of creating a more comfortable office environment?

The e-STUDIO232/282 represents an all-in-one digital multifunctional solution that
offers the advantage of a copier, printer, scanner and fax machine all in a powerful
compact design that saves office space without compromising functionality or quality.
And, because this is a single unit, you can also minimise the costs associated with
maintaining consumables and service calls. All copier-printer-scanner-fax-network
capabilities are combined into a single machine, making it necessary to have only
one power and network cable. Adding the optional Wireless LAN capability can
further enhance the office environment by removing restrictions as to where the
machine is placed.

to make background adjustments according to the original image contents.

6. What about creating electronic documents?

Our office is considering turning our current and future documents into
digital files, so what kind of solution do you offer that efficiently scans large
and complex documents?

e-Filing Box

One of the many flexible features that come with the e-Filing box is the ability to
combine or merge various data sources, such as copies, scans, prints and even
received faxes into a single document for printing later on. By taking advantage of
the e-Filing box it becomes easy to create and manage electronic documents from
various existing sources.

7. What about ease of use?

8

I’ve heard that your digital copier has many rich features, but I’m wondering
if they are easy to use?

1/2 VGA LCD Touch Panel

The overall control panel of the e-STUDIO232/282 is designed to be wider and
more readily visible making it easy to use. Moreover, the control panel is tiltable to
convenient viewing angle for many users. The 1/2 VGA LCD Touch Panel consists
of large, well placed icons for easy recognition of any function.

Template Functions

8. What about automating routine jobs?

I understand that an MFP has many more possibilities, but I’m worried that
in the long run I’ll get tired of always having to go through the same settings
to achieve my goals. There has to be a simple and more time efficient way
of deciding the modes and procedures?

1

The e-STUDIO232/282 offer many multi-purpose templates for effectively automating
routine or complex tasks. Each template is a useful shortcut to getting jobs done
quickly and easily. As they all have the same basic interface, each operation is
smooth, intuitive and user-friendly, even though the functions you want to use are
different.

9. What about replacing the toner cartridge?

Frequently having to replace the toner cartridge can be a troublesome and
costly process, and I was wondering if you have a solution resolving that
problem?

Toner Recycle System – Large Capacity Toner Cartridge

The e-STUDIO232/282 utilises an advanced toner recycling system that even removes
the need for the common waste toner bag. Improvements have also been made to
the life span of the toner cartridge. As a result, the frequent and troublesome process
of replacing the toner has been reduced substantially, and the waste toner bag has
become obsolete.

notification, and scanning to file or TWAIN. The e-STUDIO232/282 also come with
the Top Access web utility, which allows network administration of many features
such as the Department Codes or machine default settings.

12. What about cable-free network capability?

Our company has recently set up a wireless network environment to expand
and supplement the reach of our cable-based office networks. How can your
digital system be fitted to our existing network configuration?

Wireless LAN (Option)

The e-STUDIO232/282 are compatible with common network protocols—even
wireless LAN systems, which ensures that users can establish a “cable free” office
environment.

13. What about high image quality improvements?

8

The need for higher image quality has increased, and we are therefore looking
at acquiring a digital copier that offers more flexibility and overall quality
improvements.

New Toner/New Developer

The digital e-STUDIO232/282 incorporate Toshiba’s latest image technology research
and introduces a totally new concept in toner and developer improvements, setting
a new standard in image reproduction levels.

Custom Mode

14. What about specific image quality settings?

We’re using a particular original that requires special care, and are struggling
to get a clear copy. So we asked the service person to adjust the quality settings
to suit the original, unfortunately that’s now affected our other originals. How
can we avoid this problem?

1

High Speed Duplex

The e-STUDIO232/282 allows the service person to make image quality adjustments
and to individually set a custom mode for that special image, thereby avoiding any
adverse affect on your normal settings. The custom mode button can be found among
the other available original mode buttons.

15. What about loss in speed when duplex copying and
printing?

I’ve noticed that the output speed of our current copier slows down when
making double-sided copies, so how does your digital machine differ?

The duplexing mechanism of the e-STUDIO232/282 has been redesigned to have
a simpler paper path and fewer mechanical parts. These improvements resulted in
productivity achievements of 100% of its rated engine speed without the usual loss
in speed.

16. What about the merits of the optional printer
solutions?

Optional Printer Functionality

We have an analogue copier and printer, but the printer is getting outdated
and often out of order, so we’re interested to know what advantages we’ll gain
from using the optional printer functionality of your digital system?

The digital e-STUDIO232/282 is a versatile multifunctional solution, ideal for many
business environments. When increasing the flexibility of the e-STUDIO232/282 with
optional printer functionality, you will gain many benefits such as reduced running
costs, the flexibility of paper supply and features normally found only on copiers,
and the long life consumables requiring much less user intervention.

17. What are the merits of the optional scanner
functionality?

Now we have a large volume of paper documents, which we need to digitise
by using our flatbed scanner. This is a tedious process, so I was wondering
what kind of solution you offer?

Optional Scanner Functionality

7

The scanner option of the e-STUDIO232/282 operates at a speed of 50 spm with
the optional RADF and also has the ability to automatically handle documents
that are double sided and up to A3 in size. A perfect solution for turning any paper
documents into electronic documents, fast and efficiently. Furthermore, without the
need for any additional software to create PDF or TIFF documents.

18. What are the merits of using the optional fax
functions?

Our business requirements have changed, and we now have more fax jobs
than ever before, which is putting a real strain on our normal fax machine.
So what can you offer us?

Optional Fax Functionality

The optional fax function of the e-STUDIO232/282 is faster than regular fax machines
due to its increased scanning speed, and its high capacity memory. In addition, the
e-STUDIO232/282 are also capable of automatically double siding received faxes
to save on paper not to mention the fact that incoming faxes can also be routed to
file, email or e-Filing systems. The control panel is much larger and easier to use
than most regular fax machines.

19. What about higher print/copy functionality and
increased productivity?

8

In our office we share one single copier, so we often have to wait in line
when somebody is processing high volume printing jobs! Isn’t there a way
to avoid this inefficiency?

High Productivity

The e-STUDIO232/282 is a cost-efficient solution that provides a speedy 23/28 cpm
copying speed as well as a quick scanning speed of 45 spm, which in combination
with the advanced Job reservation capability (up to 10 different jobs) improves overall
productivity and convenience. In this way, the e-STUDIO232/282 can scan while
processing another copy/print job, so that the users can focus on more important
work. This improves productivity and saves valuable time.

Job Build

20. What about increasing paper handling productivity
through job build functionality?

Having to copy different materials that also vary in size can be a time­consuming process, especially when collating manually. What kind of
solution do you offer?

1

Standard Scan

The unique Job Build function of the e-STUDIO232/282 makes it possible to
combine various copy jobs independent of their individual settings or document
size, thereby removing many repetitive and manual steps in the paper handling
process. Furthermore, multiple sets of these documents can be produced with
electronic sorting.

21. What about registering frequently used document
formats?

We have many company standard format documents that we frequently use,
which unfortunately occupy large office space. Consequently, sometimes it
is difficult to identify the right document. I was therefore wondering if you
have any solution for this problem?

Yes, we have a good solution to get you organised that is also a standard feature of
this machine. The e-STUDIO232/282 is equipped with a Copy to e-Filing that stores
the copy images directly into the registered e-Filing box in the HDD. It is therefore
very easy to register frequently used fax forms or even letterheads and combine
them with various data for printing out at a more convenient time. Moreover, the
saved data can later be retrieved as PDF or TIFF file format to the client PC via the
File Downloader software.

22. What about remote notification?

Machine problems or failures result in unnecessary downtime that could be
prevented by an early warning system. What kind of features do you offer
that help prevent frequent recurrence of machine trouble, and how would
it help our business?

Remote Service

The e-STUDIO232/282 support many remote monitoring features that are both cost
efficient and performance enhancing. Automatic system notifications via email can
notify the service department that attention is required for preventative maintenance
or breakdown and will even transmit meter readings without user intervention.
Also, supplies can be monitored so that you never run out by the automatic supply
ordering system via email or fax. Using these convenient features will lead to a
reduction in downtime

23. What about data security and access restrictions?

Our department often deals with sensitive information and I’m worried about
the data security when connecting to a network. What kind of solution do
you offer?

Security

The e-STUDIO232/282 offer strong data security and access restrictions. Security
is provided to documents in the e-Filing box, where all access to personal folders
can be password protected. In copy mode, Toshiba’s original data compression
technology makes it difficult to extract information. In addition, when installing the
optional Overwrite Kit, which is a secure data erase tool offered as an expansion key,
temporary data that is left behind after each job will be automatically overwritten
using the US Department of Defence (DoD) standard, making this kind of temporary
data irretrievable. Adding to these security measures, the optional scrambler board
will encrypt data on the HDD to a level of 128-bit, further safeguarding copy-print­scan data from unauthorised access should the HDD be removed.

Proof Print/Proof Copy

24. What about reducing misprints when dealing with
large copy/print volume?

We are handling large print/copy jobs, and worried that a tiny mistake in
the output can turn into costly disasters. What solution do you offer to help
prevent these errors and waste of resources?

1

The e-STUDIO232/282 come with two efficient and easy-to-use functions ideal for
large print or copy jobs consisting of many sets. For instance, the Proof Print allows
users to print out only one single set as a proof when printing more than one set of
documents. Users can then check this proof print and select whether they want to
print out the rest or quit printing to change the settings on the proof print job list. When
printing out the rest, users can change the number of printouts. In a similar way, when
selecting the Proof Copy function prior to final printing users can print out a single
copy for detecting and correcting any errors, including deleting, changing the number
of copies or used staples, and use image shift when necessary, before committing to
costly high-volume production. In comparison, the Proof Copy function allows for
more direct ways to correct errors than using the Proof Print function.

Working together for the planet

Reflecting our commitment to environmental protection, Toshiba champions the creation of
products whose ecological impact through their life cycle is kept to a minimum. For example,
the e-STUDIO232/282 are compliant with both the ENERGY STAR® energy saving requirements
of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous
Substances) requirements of the EU, and also follows the European WEEE (Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment) Directive, which sets collection, recycling and recovery targets for all types
of electrical products. The unit offers Energy Saver modes and a Sleep Mode to reduce power
consumption when not in use, as well as paper saving features.
Toshiba printed circuit boards are 100% free of lead and halogen materials, plastic parts are
halogen free, and Chromium (VI) free is also achieved for steel plates and screws.
Toshiba is also committed to environmentally responsible manufacturing facilities and practices. To
date, four copier sales affiliates and all of manufacturing facilities have been awarded ISO 14001
certification, the internationally recognised standard for environmental management systems that
minimise the ecological impact of business activities.
As a Toshiba customer, you play an active role in Toshiba’s environmental efforts. Let’s work
together for the sake of our shared habitat.
