Toshiba e-STUDIO331AC
The Toshiba e-STUDIO331AC Multifunction Printer is a 33 ppm A4 colour multifunction device designed for small to medium-sized offices and security-conscious organisations that require high-speed document digitisation and secure data handling.
Print performance and output quality on the Toshiba e-STUDIO331AC Multifunction Printer are driven by the e-BRIDGE Next controller, which manages a print speed of 33 pages per minute for A4 documents. This system delivers a first copy out time of 7.2 seconds for colour and 5.7 seconds for monochrome files, ensuring minimal wait times during high-volume tasks. Users can achieve a print resolution of 1200 x 1200 dpi (1 bit) via PostScript or 600 x 600 dpi (3 bit) for standard jobs. The hardware supports diverse media through its bypass tray, including banner printing up to 215.9 x 1321 mm and paper weights ranging from 52 to 256 g/m2.
Scanning and document management capabilities facilitate rapid digital workflows with a scan speed of 116 images per minute. The Toshiba e-STUDIO331AC Multifunction Printer includes a standard paper capacity of 650 sheets, which can be expanded to a maximum paper capacity of 3,200 sheets for environments with heavy print demands. Data processing is supported by 4 GB of RAM and a 256 GB self-encrypting Secure SSD. This storage architecture, combined with a built-in TPM 2.0 security chip and AES 256-bit encryption, protects sensitive information at the hardware level.
Connectivity and mobile integration features allow the Toshiba e-STUDIO331AC Multifunction Printer to fit into modern networked environments via 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T Ethernet and High Speed USB 2.0. The device supports mobile printing through AirPrint, Mopria Print Service, and the e-BRIDGE Print & Capture application. Optional wireless modules enable WLAN (IEEE802.11b/g/n), Bluetooth, Wi-Fi Direct, and iBeacon for Printers, allowing for flexible placement within an office. The physical footprint remains compact for its class, with dimensions of 520 x 540 x 634 mm and a weight of 53.0 kg.
