The Toshiba e-STUDIO409AS Multifunction Printer is a 40 ppm mono A4 multifunction device designed for medium-to-large workgroups and security-conscious organisations that require high-speed document processing within a compact physical footprint.

Print performance and speed specifications define the efficiency of this monochrome system, which delivers the first printed page in 5.9 seconds. The device maintains a consistent output of 40 pages per minute for A4 documents, while the integrated scanner reaches speeds of up to 46 images per minute. These internal processing capabilities are supported by a standard 2 GB of memory, which can be expanded with an optional 128 GB Intelligent Storage Device (ISD) to manage complex print queues and high-volume data workflows.

Physical dimensions and paper handling capabilities allow this 13.7 kg unit to fit into space-constrained environments without sacrificing professional capacity. The hardware measures 412 x 361 x 354 mm and features a standard paper capacity of 350 sheets, which can be scaled to a maximum of 900 sheets for higher-demand environments. Users can utilise the internal cassette for standard A6 to A4 sizes (60-120 g/m²) or the bypass tray for custom media ranging from 99x148 mm to 215x359 mm, including DL, C5, B5, and Monarch envelopes up to 217 g/m².

Connectivity and security protocols ensure the device integrates safely into modern IT infrastructures via 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T Ethernet, High Speed USB 2.0, or WLAN (IEEE802.11 a/b/g/n/ac). Mobile printing is facilitated through AirPrint, Mopria Print Service, and the e-BRIDGE Print & Scan application, allowing for flexible document submission. To protect sensitive data, the system incorporates a TPM 2.0 security chip, SSL and IPsec protocols, 802.1x authentication, and non-volatile memory wipe functions to prevent unauthorised information retrieval.

Standard features included with this model:

• Print speed: 40 ppm (A4)
• Scan speed: 46 ipm
• First print out time: 5.9 seconds
• Standard memory: 2 GB
• Maximum paper capacity: 900 sheets
• Print resolution: 1200 x 1200 dpi
• Weight: 13.7 kg
• Security: TPM 2.0 and Encryption

The Toshiba e-STUDIO409AS Multifunction Printer is the ideal choice for corporate departments or satellite offices that prioritise fast monochrome output and robust data encryption in a desktop-friendly size. This model specifically serves professional environments that require integrated faxing and automatic duplex printing as part of their daily document lifecycle. A different device would be a better fit for creative teams or marketing departments that require A3 media support or full-colour printing capabilities.
