Toshiba e-STUDIO2021AC
The Toshiba e-STUDIO2021AC Multifunction Printer is a 20 ppm A3 colour multifunction device designed for small offices and satellite locations that require wide-format printing and robust data security in a compact footprint. This system integrates printing, scanning, copying, and faxing capabilities into a single unit to streamline document workflows for security-conscious organisations.
Print performance and speed specifications define the efficiency of this model for daily office tasks. The Toshiba e-STUDIO2021AC Multifunction Printer delivers A4 documents at a rate of 20 pages per minute (ppm) and handles A3 wide-format jobs at 10 ppm. Users can expect a first copy time of 7.1 seconds for monochrome documents and 9.5 seconds for colour output. High-resolution imaging is supported at 600 x 600 dpi (5 bit) or up to 1200 x 1200 dpi (2 bit) when using the PS driver, which provides an equivalent of 1200 x 3600 dpi for detailed graphics.
Paper handling and physical dimensions allow the Toshiba e-STUDIO2021AC Multifunction Printer to fit into constrained workspaces while maintaining high-volume potential. The unit measures 585 x 586 x 662 mm and weighs 59.4 kg, making it a manageable addition to a standard office environment. While the standard paper capacity starts at 350 sheets, the system is expandable to a maximum paper capacity of 2,900 sheets to reduce manual refills. The internal cassettes support sizes from A5R to A3, while the bypass tray accommodates media from 100 x 148 mm up to A3.
Digital processing and connectivity features on the Toshiba e-STUDIO2021AC Multifunction Printer are powered by the e-BRIDGE Next controller and 4 GB of RAM. Scanning operations reach speeds of up to 73 images per minute, facilitating rapid digitisation of physical archives. Standard connectivity includes 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T Ethernet and High Speed USB 2.0, with optional support for WLAN (IEEE802.11b/g/n), Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi Direct. Mobile users can interface with the machine via the e-BRIDGE Print & Capture app, Mopria Print Service, or AirPrint for iOS and macOS devices.
Security specifications for the Toshiba e-STUDIO2021AC Multifunction Printer focus on protecting sensitive corporate data through hardware-based encryption. The device includes a 128 GB Security SSD and a built-in TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module) security chip as standard features. Network transmissions are secured via SSL, with optional IPsec support available for enhanced infrastructure protection. These layers of protection ensure that document metadata and stored files remain encrypted and inaccessible to unauthorised parties.
Small business owners and department managers who need A3 colour printing and high-level data encryption will find the Toshiba e-STUDIO2021AC Multifunction Printer fits their operational requirements. This model is specifically suited for satellite offices that demand the full functionality of a multifunction device without the space requirements of high-volume floor-standing units. Large-scale production environments requiring print speeds exceeding 50 pages per minute should consider a higher-capacity enterprise model.
