TOSHIBA LAUNCHES THE e-STUDIO™523/603/723/853 MULTIFUNCTION SERIES TO BUSINESSES

Windows Vista Support, XPS Print Support and Enhanced Security Integrated into Proven High-Volume Document Imaging Family
Jan 23, 2008

Toshiba raised the bar for monochrome multifunction products (MFPs) today by announcing the new and improved e-STUDIO™523/603/723/853 and e-STUDIO™523T/603T/723T series nationwide. Built on the robust platform of the popular e-STUDIO520/600/720/850 family of MFPs, the new line of high-speed, large-volume MFPs feature expanded security elements and encryption, support for the Microsoft® Windows Vista™ operating system and enhanced XPS printing options. The e-STUDIO523/603/723/853 series incorporates exceptional image quality, high-speed printing and multiple paper source options, making it the perfect choice for high-volume production environments.

The e-STUDIO523T/603T/723T family shares all the same product features as the e-STUDIO523/603/723/853 series, with the added convenience of tandem 1,250-sheet letter paper cartridges, effectively doubling the printing output capacity between paper refills in the same MFP footprint.

“Toshiba’s e-STUDIO523/603/723/853 and their ‘T’ counterparts are built upon a proven productivity and reliability platform that our large workgroup monochrome MFPs have become renown for,” said Joe Contreras, director, Product and Solutions Marketing, TABS. “By incorporating Windows Vista support and extended security into these fast, efficient and highly versatile machines, we are empowering businesses with the ability to meet all their high-volume print needs.”

Proven Technology, Outstanding Image Quality and Impressive Performance

The e-STUDIO523/603/723 and e-STUDIO523T/603T/723T MFPs feature a high-speed, single-beam laser-imaging unit, while the e-STUDIO853 uses a dual laser-beam design, delivering pin-point print accuracy across the family of MFPs for every single copy. An 8-bit scanner module and up to 2,400 x 600 dpi output ensures that scans and copies are as clean as the original, while not compromising production speed. Standard in both MFP lines is the Toshiba Serial Filter, which produces crisp, sharp text and line-art, while maintaining deep black fills.

The Toshiba e-STUDIO523/603/723 and their T equivalents offer print speeds of 52, 60 and 72 pages-per-minute respectively, while the e-STUDIO853 prints at a blistering 85 pages-per-minute, ensuring efficient document output throughout the product line. All models scan at 71 scans-per-minute at 600 dpi when copying, and 83 scans-per-minute at 300 dpi when scanning to file. The e-STUDIO853 features a first-copy-out-time (FCOT) of less than 3.5 seconds, with rest of the product family close behind with a less than four second FCOT.

Incorporating Toshiba’s e-BRIDGE single-board architecture, the e-STUDIO523/603/723/853 series uses a single circuit board to control copying, printing, scanning and other functionality to decrease memory overhead and improve print time. Additionally, a dual-speed paper handling system slows down the paper while it passes through the process unit and makes up the speed elsewhere to maintain performance.
