Toshiba e-STUDIO 4511Color at Work tmProduct DynamicsE-BRIDGE Technology:Traditionally, digital copiers have employedseparate controller boards to control the copy,print, fax and scan functionality.This has made the upgrade path from copierto fully-featured multifunctional product anexpensive process. Toshiba, like some othermanufacturers, has moved away from aseparate controller board and now uses anintegrated board for all functions. This offerscost savings due to the sharing of commonprocessor components such as processorpower, RAM and hard drive storage.Toshiba markets this new design under thebrand name e-BRIDGE. Some othermanufacturers (using a single integratedprocessor board) maintain an upgrade pathcost from copier to fully featured MFP bycharging users to simply switch on theadditional function components of the board.Toshiba goes one step further and includesfull functionality on Day 1.The one exception to this is fax, which is stillavailable as a separate option upgrade item.E-FILING System:A major new feature within the design of theToshiba e-STUDIO 4511 is its e-FILINGsystem. In essence, e-FILING storesdocuments on the 60GB hard disk.For buyers worried about storing sensitiveinformation on the hard drive, Toshiba offersan optional scrambler. The scrambler sitsbetween the e-BRIDGE controller and theHDD for everyday use. Data stored on thehard drive is encrypted and worthless, shouldthe hard drive be stolen out of the device.Users are able to store copy, print, fax andscan documents to the hard drive, retrievingthem from both the LCD display of the copier,or from Toshiba’s web-based desktop utility,which is an enhanced version of itsTopAccessComposer.Documents are stored within the e-Filesystem through a series of boxes. There isone public e-FILING box which can beaccessed by all members of the office. This isset up by the system administrator.In addition to this shared box, up to 200private e-FILING boxes can also be set up byindividuals. These boxes can be passwordprotected, adding a level of security forsensitive information. Each box can be furtherdivided into a maximum of 100 folders, withstorage for up to 400 documents per folder,up to a maximum of 200 pages per document.How e-FILING WorksToshiba scrambler board fore-STUDIO 4511Page Number 3www.BERTL.comtel. 732-761-2311fax. 732-761-2312info@BERTL.comCopyright © 2004 BERTL Inc. 19-Feb-04All Rights Reserved.

Toshiba e-STUDIO 4511Color at Work tmProduct DynamicsCopy to Box:Copy jobs are stored in a box with or withoutcreating a copy. Jobs are stored in theproprietary RIP file format used by theToshiba print engine. The document namecan be entered using a QWERTY keypad.Some document copy setting features cannotbe added to a copy job stored in a box. Theseinclude more than 200% enlargement/nonsortmode/magazine sort/magazine sort andsaddle-stitch/image shift/Nin1/cover sheet/sheet insertion/date stamp/page numbering/non-standard size setting/twin color.Print to Box:From the printer driver, users can select thebox into which they want to store thedocument. Documents are stored with thename of the application and document name.Documents are stored in the proprietaryripped file format used by the Toshiba.Received Fax to Box:If you have the fax option, received faxes canbe stored into a box without printing. Faxeswith sub-addresses can be routed directly intoa specific user box. The system administratorcan also set up a standard box for genericfaxes with no sub-address information. Thisallows users to view and retrieve faxes fromtheir PC desktop. Faxes are stored as MMRcompressed TIFF files.Scan to Box:This operates the same way as copy to box,with the difference being that 2-bitmonochrome files are stored as TIFF files,which 8-bit monochrome and color files arestored as JPEG or PDF files.What Can I Do With the Stored Files?Documents can be reprinted from either thecopier control panel or from a PC desktop,using a browser. From the web-basedbrowser, userscan mergemultipledocuments,including differentfunctions (print/faxand scan) into asingle documentfor printing. Copyjobs stored cannot be merged with fax, scanand print files due to their differentcompression formats. Users looking to mergehard copy documents with fax/printdocuments must use the scan to box function.When printing documents from a box, somefeatures are restricted. These include Nin1/magazine sort/cover sheet/sheet insertion/image rotation/paper size. Since one of theproposed uses for this technology is in thesharing and compilation of large reports frommultiple users, the inability to print Nin1 forthumbnail viewing of the project to date, plusthe inability to add cover or chapter/sheetinserts could be a limitation.While the e-FILING utility was reasonablyflexible, we did not find it to be as userfriendlyas some competing documentstorage solutions, with document editing andmerging being more time consuming.TWAIN Driver and File Downloader:For users wanting to pull files stored on thecopier hard drive, Toshiba includes a TWAINdriver and file downloading utility within thestandard bundle.These allow desktop users to browse to theirbox on the hard drive, select the file they wishto retrieve and the file format into which theywant the file to be stored (TIFF or PDF) ontheir desktop. The TWAIN utility via electronicmailbox may have an advantage overtraditional direct TWAIN scanning utilitieswhich require the user to leave documents onthe scanner (with the TWAIN applicationtriggering the scan process.)Browser-based e-FILING utilityPage Number 4www.BERTL.comtel. 732-761-2311fax. 732-761-2312info@BERTL.comCopyright © 2004 BERTL Inc. 19-Feb-04All Rights Reserved.
