WHAT WE LIKED

• The control panel’s hard keys are large, well-organized

and clearly labeled, while the touch screen features

large text for easy viewing, as well as a simple design

for easy navigation. The touch screen is virtually the

same as other Toshiba e-STUDIO devices’ touch

screens, which will make it especially easy for e-

STUDIO users to quickly acclimate to it.

• The e-STUDIO3520c’s LCD-color touch screen

provides easy access to several common and

frequently used copier settings on the Basic Copying

screen. This enables copy users to quickly and easily

make typical settings without having to navigate

through to many sub-menus, and significantly reduces

the time to make copy-job settings. BERTL was able

to make frequently used copier settings in a matter of

only 2 or 3 key presses (see “Selections Required for

Frequently Used Copy Functions” chart on page 18).

• For network and device management, Toshiba

provides its TopAccess Web Software Suite.

TopAccess Internet Services provides an easy-to-use

Web-based interface, and can be used to view detailed

system and consumables’ status. It also enables

administrators to manage and configure device and

network settings. This Web-based solution enables

administrators to monitor and manage a fleet of

devices from any workstation on the network.

• TopAccess Internet Services provides automatic e-mail

alerts when the system requires attention.

• Both PCL and PostScript drivers are relatively easy to

use and logically organized. Both drivers have nearly

the same exact user interface. This will enable users

to quickly and easily switch between drivers and allow

them to find the settings they need from one driver to

another with ease.

• Very easy toner and paper replacement. Ability to

change paper while in use.

• Misfeed-access areas are easy to locate and access.

Correcting paper jams can be easily accomplished by

following the step by step guide displayed on the

control panel.

WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE

• Overall, BERTL found the e-STUDIO3520c very easy

to use and maintain, we would have liked to have seen

device status and consumable levels communicated

using the print driver.

• Despite the fact that the e-STUDIO3520c offers users

the ability to print to Front and Rear Covers, the e-

STUDIO3520c only allows users to copy to the Front

Cover and not the Rear Cover.
