As part of Toshiba’s e-STUDIO4520c/3520c/2820c family,

the e-STUDIO3520c is the mid-range unit in this office color

MFP large-format family, and is designed for multi-user

offices and mid-sized workgroups. Introduced in July 2008,

the e-STUDIO3520c series is among Toshiba's newest and

fastest products that print, copy, scan and fax while

incorporating the company's next generation e-BRIDGE

controller which is designed to provide more efficient

processing and multi-tasking. The e-STUDIO3520c also

offers a new Replaceable Unit design, which is intended to

keep maintenance downtime to an absolute minimum.

BERTL recently tested the e-STUDIO3520c which was

developed completely in-house by Toshiba with a list price

of $16,999 (as a digital copier/network printer). The e-

STUDIO3520c is the high-end system in the series and is

rated at 35 ppm monochrome and 35 ppm color, with a

maximum paper capacity of up to 3,700 sheets.

The new Toshiba high-volume color line features a large,

adjustable 8.5” Super WVGA touch screen for quick and

easy access to copying, printing, scanning, faxing and e-

filing features, and a new two-part developer delivery

system that automatically replenishes developer into the

system as new toner is introduced, eliminating the need to

install or maintain developer for the projected life of the

MFP.

Toshiba’s next generation e-BRIDGE controller offers

enhanced document security with its Advanced Encryption

Standard (AES) hard disk encryption, IPv6, IPSec,

SNMPv3 and 802.1x network authentication, protecting the

document workflow all the way to the network. The e-

STUDIO3520c series includes Secure PDF, enabling users

to password-protect documents when creating scanned

PDFs, to prevent unauthorized viewing or printing. In

addition, the new color MFP series support printing from

and scanning to a USB flash storage drive, and support

full-color banner printing of sizes as large as 47 inches

wide and 12 feet long.

It’s also important to note that while the Toshiba e-

STUDIO3520c features standard network printing, it may be

equipped with an optional EFI Fiery controller (Fiery Image

Controller System 8e). This controller which is suitable for

customers with more demanding printing applications, such

as graphic-intensive applications will be available early

next year.

In the following test report, BERTL takes an in-depth look

at the e-STUDIO3520c, testing and evaluating its

productivity, image quality and ease-of-use.
