ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

The e-STUDIO3511/4511 is the culmination of the following leading technologies that only Toshiba offers:

New e-Bridge Controller

For the e-STUDIO3511/4511, Toshiba has developed ”e-Bridge“, designed to control multiple functions efficiently. Predecessor models required an optional printer board, network interface card or Document Controller to upgrade it to a network printer or printer/scanner. This means that copying, printing, and scanning were processed separately with the CPU mounted on each of the options. On the other hand, for the e-STUDIO3511/4511, these multiple functions are all integrated on a single board called ”e-Bridge Controller“ providing a more efficient platform utilizing a single CPU. This centralizes all kinds of jobs that the e-STUDIO3511/4511 performs, including copy jobs, print jobs, scan jobs and network communications.

Mounted on the e-Bridge Controller are the following:

•Toshiba-manufactured 64-bit RISC CPU, used to implement the concurrent processing of copying, printing, scanning and network communicating

•High-speed memory (PC133 SDRAM), arranged as image memory and system memory, to achieve high-speed concurrent processing

•UltraDMA, used by the controller chip to increase efficiency in data transfer

•Toshiba-manufactured RIP accelerator RACe chip, used to enhance performance of RIP, such as compression, decompression, and rotation

End User Benefits

•The e-Bridge controller greatly improves efficiency of concurrent multiple tasks by centralizing functions using a single CPU.
