Toshiba e-STUDIO5525AC
The Toshiba e-STUDIO5525AC Multifunction Printer is a 55 ppm A4 colour A3 multifunction device designed for large departments and security-conscious organisations that require heavy daily output and wide-format printing capabilities.
Print performance and speed specifications define the efficiency of this model for high-volume environments. The Toshiba e-STUDIO5525AC Multifunction Printer delivers 55 pages per minute (ppm) for A4 documents and 27 ppm for A3 media, ensuring rapid turnaround for diverse document types. Users can expect a first copy time of 4.3 seconds for monochrome and 5.6 seconds for colour prints. The system supports high-fidelity output with print resolutions of 600 x 600 dpi or 1200 x 1200 dpi, powered by the e-BRIDGE Next controller and 6 GB of RAM. Scanning operations are equally efficient, reaching speeds of 73 scans per minute to facilitate digital workflows in busy offices.
Paper handling and physical dimensions allow the unit to integrate into professional workspaces while managing substantial print jobs. The Toshiba e-STUDIO5525AC Multifunction Printer features a standard paper capacity of 1,200 sheets, which is expandable to a maximum paper capacity of 3,200 sheets for reduced manual intervention. The device supports automatic duplex printing as a standard feature. Media flexibility is a core attribute, as the cassettes and bypass tray accommodate sizes ranging from A5R up to 320 x 460 mm. The bypass tray specifically supports banner paper up to 305 x 1,200 mm and weights between 52 and 280 g/m2. Physically, the unit weighs 79.0 kg and occupies a footprint of 585 x 641 x 787 mm.
Security specifications and data protection protocols are central to the hardware architecture. The Toshiba e-STUDIO5525AC Multifunction Printer includes a built-in TPM 2.0 security chip and a 128 GB Self-Encrypting Drive (SED) SSD, which can be upgraded to a maximum of 640 GB. Network security is maintained through support for TLS 1.2/1.3, IPSec, and SMB versions v1, v2, and v3. For organisations with specific compliance needs, an optional FIPS HDD is available. These hardware-level protections ensure that sensitive data remains secure during the printing, scanning, and faxing processes.
Connectivity options and mobile integration features provide flexible access for modern workgroups. The Toshiba e-STUDIO5525AC Multifunction Printer comes standard with 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T Ethernet and High Speed USB 2.0. Wireless capabilities are available through optional IEEE802.11b/g/n WLAN, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi Direct modules. Mobile printing is supported via the e-BRIDGE Print & Capture app, Mopria Print Service, and AirPrint for iOS or macOS devices. This suite of connectivity tools allows users to submit print jobs from various hardware platforms without relying on a wired connection.
Large corporate departments and government agencies requiring high-speed A3 colour output and robust hardware encryption will find this model ideal for their operational needs. Creative teams needing to produce banners up to 1,200 mm or wide-format proofs on 280 g/m2 stock will also benefit from the versatile media handling. Small home offices or businesses with low monthly print volumes and limited floor space may find a smaller A4-only desktop printer more suitable for their requirements.
