system. This is ideal for merging color-printed pages asdocument covers. The Post Inserter is available forindependent individual document finishing as well via its ownseparate control panel located right on it. This makes staplingor hole-punching a document on the way to a meeting a snap.

These models have First Copy Out Times of just 3.2 secondsthanks to the compact engine design and short paper path.Facedown output further improves productivity. Duplexproductivity is equally as impressive thanks to the traylessduplexing design. A revolutionary induction-heat fusing systemprovides warm-up times among the quickest in the industry,while saving users valuable electricity. A unique toner recyclingsystem and new cartridge-design make these modelsenvironmentally friendly while providing users with toner yieldsof over 60,000 copies before cartridge replacement isnecessary. Furthermore, a unique Service Module systemstreamlines the Periodic Maintenance process shortening it tominutes from the hours similar speed-range models may require.

A new front panel design with larger buttons and a newQuickTab addresses Section 508 of the Americans withDisabilities Act making the system easier to use – especially forthe visually impaired. The QuickTab (activated through aService Technician Code) provides users with six of the mostpopular duplexing and finishing combinations on easy-to-read,larger buttons on the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panel, nowwith light text on a dark background.

The e-STUDIO550/650/810 have a variety of network printingand scanning options allowing users to realize the true powerof these models. This gives network users advanced paperhandling as well as the horsepower to whisk through the mostdaunting tasks quickly and easily. Two different controlleroptions let users further tailor the system to meet their ownindividual needs. Toshiba offers an embedded-Fiery® controllerdeveloped by Electronics for Imaging (EFI) that providesreliable low-cost PCL6™ printing by way of a built-in 10/100Mbit or Parallel port. This controller, the GA1140, is built

OVERVIEW

The e-STUDIO550/650/810 were developed to meet the needsof Print on Demand users, Centralized ReprographicsDepartments and busy Departmental Workgroups that needreliable, high-volume copying, printing and scanning solutionsalong with advanced document handling capabilities. Thesemodels copy at 55, 65 and 81 pages per minute respectively at600 x 2,400 dpi. Productivity and performance stands at theforefront of the design.

To that end, the e-STUDIO550/650/810 are an entirely clean-sheet design, meaning they are not based on any previousmodels. They incorporate the latest research and developmentfindings and feature a number of technological breakthroughsgiving end users the most advanced product on the market.

The e-STUDIO550/650/810 have design elements equippingthem for high volume use and as a result have duty cycles ofas high as 500,000 copies per month. They hold 3,600 sheetsof paper standard, but an optional 4,000-sheet front-loadinglarge capacity feeder raises that to a maximum total capacityof 7,600 sheets. Additionally all paper sources can handle 110Lb. Index paper. Tab copying and printing is also possible, asthe e-STUDIO550/650/810 can handle tab paper in drawer 2 aswell as the bypass.

The advanced finishing capabilities on these models bring awhole new level of document production possibilities to awider range of users. This includes the 50-sheet multi-positionfinisher that holds 4,000 sheets among its two trays and asimilar version with saddle-stitch finishing (up to 60 pages)allowing users to easily produce professional looking booklets.A 100-sheet multi-position stapler version with saddle-stitchfinishing (up to 60 pages) will be available in January 2003. A2/3-hole, hole punch option is available for any of these finishers.

There’s also the Post Inserter Option that allows pagesproduced elsewhere to be integrated with documents copiedor printed on the e-STUDIO550/650/810. These pages arespared the potentially damaging heat of the device’s fusing

The GL1020 is ideal for departmental users that especiallywant to take advantage of the 65 PPM scanner on the e-STUDIO550/650/810. This controller with its powerfulprocessor and 20 GB HDD provides printing solutions forWindows®, Mac® and UNIX® users as well as AS/400 and more.

The feature set on the GL1020 is quite extensive and includesfeatures such as Scheduled Printing (AKA Delayed Print), ProofPrinting, Overlays and much more. TopAccess Composer, aweb-based utility allows the merging of documents frommultiple sources including scanned pages, since scanning isstandard on the GL1020.

Both controllers have support for the e-STUDIO550/650/810’svast paper handling features, including tab paper, sheet insertsand the Post Inserter to enable users to create documentsnever before possible from a single system. They also bothinclude TopAccess, a browser-based, device status andmanagement utility. The GL1020 additionally includesDocMon™, which notifies users upon completion of their job orof events impeding completion such as the device running outof paper.

Whichever controller you select, be it the low cost GA 1140,the feature-rich GL1020, or the GA 1140 with the Hard DiskDrive and scanning options, you can be certain it will providereliable, trouble-free operation. The same can be said for thee-STUDIO550/650/810. It’s simply a matter of selecting thecombination that best fits your customer’s needs.

around a Linux Operating System, proving to be the moststable platform upon which to develop. Its 128 MB of RAMand 500 MHz Intel® Pentium® III processor provide seriousprocessing power. True-Adobe® PostScript™ 3 (PS3) is availableas an option for those environments that need to processPostScript™ documents and files periodically.

More intense printing environments will want to consideradding the 20 GB hard disk drive (HDD) and PS3 combination(GE1060) scan accelerator board (GE1110) which providesimproved performance and additional functionality. Thisincludes EFI’s FreeForm Variable Data Software, CommandWorkStation for job management and Fiery® scanning, whichprovides high-quality 600 dpi scanning for OCR, Archiving,Distribution (Scan-to-Email/iFax) and graphic arts purposes.

The most intense printing environments will want to considerEFI’s Velocity Workflow Software that allows job’s to be smartlyrouted to multiple Fiery®-driven engines for fast and efficientproduction of color and monochrome documents. Up to 12systems can be managed from a single Velocity WorkStation.Optional modules allow building jobs, importing scannedpages for document creation, and even job estimatingsoftware to facilitate accurate pricing of larger jobs withdefinable costs associated in the production, prior to theactual printing of the job.

Toshiba’s own GL1020 controller, an alternative to the EFIsolution offers PCL6™ and PS3 as well as a complete documentscanning solution all included as a single integrated package.This controller is also an embedded design built around aLinux Operating System, but uses a 566 MHz Intel® Celeron™

processor and 256 MB RAM.

Here are specification highlights showing the e-STUDIO550 against theiR5000i. Keep in mind the Toshiba product is 5 PPM faster, with a fasterwarm-up time and faster first copy out time. The Toshiba’s documentfeeder scanning speed is also 15 OPM faster. In this case it is even fasterthan the printing engine. Notice the Toshiba bypass holds twice asmuch, as does its finisher. The Toshiba’s finisher capacity is an incredible4,000 sheets. The e-STUDIO550’s toner yield is greater too and only theToshiba can copy and print on tabs. It also has Post Inserter supportand both 2 and 3-hole punch capability; not just 3-hole.

Universal Send is Canon’s scanning solution, which does no more thanthe GL1020’s scan feature. The feature enables users to send scanneddocuments to email addresses, file servers or to the copier itself forstorage, printing or merging with other jobs. Both connectivitysolutions from Toshiba, be it the GL1020 or the EFI controller [withoptions] can provide, this same capability with more flexibility.

Analysts mention that cover page and insert control is weak on theiR5000i. You couldn’t create a document that drew from every sourceand you couldn’t copy or print on tabs. There is also limited finishercapacity compared to some models today including the new e-STUDIO550. The iR5000i from Canon was announced in December of2001. The “i” on the end of the name indicates this model includes theInternet [Protocol]-driven Universal Send feature which enables users toshare documents scanned on one system with another “i” product fromCanon. The new e-STUDIO models with the GL1020 have a strongerfeature set with their iFax capability and assorted scanning features.

Mention the stronger finishing options on the e-STUDIO including thePost Inserter. The Post Inserter significantly enhances the look of in-house documents. Also mention the fact that the finisher trays holddouble the output of the Canon models.

Mention the Tab Printing and Copying capabilities of the e-STUDIO models,which the iR5000i doesn’t have, and how easy they are to use – as well asthe other features thanks to the streamlined-intuitive front panel of allToshiba models. This model addresses Section 508 compliance with largebuttons and the addition of the QuickTab.

Only the Toshiba model utilizes Service Modules to simplify periodicmaintenance reducing the service time to minutes instead of the hoursrequired for the Canon machines. The Service Modules and the fact thatthe PM interval is nearly double that of the 5000i (400K/250K) make thee-STUDIO550 a much more productive system.

The Konica 7155 is another competitor of the e-STUDIO550. Both copy at55 PPM and the Toshiba scanner speed is 10 OPM faster. Toshiba’swarm-up time is over twice as fast (~2.5 minutes/5.5 minutes). Other keypoints include the e-STUDIO550’s Tab printing capability, 2 & 3-hole punch(vs. 7155’s 3-only), its greater maximum [and standard] paper capacityand significantly greater finisher capacity (4K/2.5K). The Toshiba also hasa higher toner yield.

The Konica has a similar booklet maker to the Toshiba yet allowsbooklets using 20 sheets of paper (80 pages). It should be noted thatthey also offer a trimmer that costs significantly more than the finisheritself. This is because after about 15 sheets (60 pages) the booklet willrequire trimming. Toshiba, like some others limited the finisher to 15sheets for best results. The system can still magazine sort bigger jobsfor offline stitching and trimming. Scanning on the Konica comesstandard with their connectivity option. The Toshiba GL1020 comesstandard with scanning, but Toshiba offers a less expensive EFI solutionwithout the feature – or the additional cost.

Analysts mentioned the Konica’s Tandem Copy capability. Analysts havefound that in reality it usually is not any more productive due toadditional set-up and processing time. Toshiba offers EFI’s VelocityCluster Printing Solution which allows up to 12 Fiery driven machines towork as one.

The product also has a low PM cycle and developer yield (250K). Again,the Toshiba is 400K on both. When it does eventually require periodicmaintenance, the e-STUDIO550 incorporates Service Modules to cut thePM time from hours to minutes. These are important points in missioncritical environments.

The 7155 holds 2,600 sheets standard, but owners can add an externalLCF to raise the capacity to 6,600. The Toshiba holds 3,600 sheetsstandard with a very compact 4,000-sheet external LCF boosting thepaper on tap to 7,600 sheets. The Konica LCF can prohibit theplacement in many cases due to its large size. The Toshiba offers 4,000-sheet finishing capacity as compared to the 7155s 3,000 (only 2,500 withKonica’s saddle-stitch version).

The Konica controller is essentially a desktop PC that piggybacksbehind the copier much like the SC-2 did. This is becoming a datedapproach that technology has rendered near obsolete. There is no wayto configure the IP511 either from anything except a remote PC. TheToshiba can be fully configured from the large LCD front panel.

Looking at the Kyocera-Mita KM-5530, Toshiba is stronger in manyrespects. The FCOT is over a second faster. The document feederspeed on the Toshiba is 15 OPM faster and the paper capacity and thefinisher capacity are greater. The finisher capacity (4,000 sheets) isdouble that of the KM-5530. Toshiba offers an optional Post Inserter.Also, the Toshiba can print and copy on tabs. Additionally, the Kyoceracan only accept 110# paper through the bypass while Toshiba can take110# through all sources, even the LCF.

Only the Toshiba offers Service Modules, so while the KM-5530 doeshave a PM interval equal to the e-STUDIO550, its PM will take hours, notminutes like on the Toshiba. The connected aspects of the Kyoceramake their product not even comparable to Toshiba’s total solution.

Analysts generally liked the KM-5530, but there was room forimprovement (3 Star). The scanning feature performed as it should andthey liked the Tandem Print and Copy feature although they did say ithad its issues. Basically, by the time a tandem job was set up, it couldprobably have been done on a single system and if one of the systemsdidn’t complete one set, even though the other copier got the rest ofthe job, the one that stopped mid-flight would be responsible for thatsingle set. Sometimes this might not be possible (machine broken) andthe user will walk away with 1-too few sets.

Analysts mentioned that this model has physical mailboxes (7-Bin) as anoption. These place limitations on the capacity and the number of users.

Analysts didn’t like the KM-5530 User Interface. This is a big dealbecause that’s essentially how every “user” “interfaces” with the copier.Toshiba prides themselves on their products’ simple, yet feature-richuser interface. All Toshiba U/Is are nearly identical which is nice whenmodels of different speed and capabilities (color) are deployedthroughout a large office. The KM-5530 also does nothing to addressSection 508 and as you know, the new e-STUDIO models do with the newlarger buttons and QuickTab.

Even though the KM-5530 is not that old, the controller only hasPostScript™ Level 2 (and PCL6™/5e). The Toshiba GL1020 controllercomes standard with PostScript™ 3 and the EFI GA1140 has TrueAdobe® PostScript™ 3 as an option.

Finally, they mentioned that in order to use any kind of documentstorage, it required a PC dedicated for this purpose. This meant thatunconnected users didn’t get the feature, and those that did want it,had to go through the additional steps brought about by having the PCinvolved.

The Minolta Di551 is actually a re-badged Konica 7155, anothercompetitor of the e-STUDIO550. Both the Toshiba and the Minolta(Konica) copy at 55 PPM and the Minolta even has a slightly fasterFCOT. The Toshiba scanner speed is 10 OPM faster. Toshiba’s warm-uptime is over twice as fast (~2.5 minutes/6 minutes). Other key pointsinclude the e-STUDIO550’s Tab printing capability, 2 & 3-hole punch (vs.Di551’s 3-only), its greater maximum [and standard] paper capacity andsignificantly greater finisher capacity (4K/2.5K). The Toshiba also has ahigher toner yield.

The Minolta has a similar booklet maker to the Toshiba yet allowsbooklets using 20 sheets of paper (80 pages). It should be noted thatthey also offer a trimmer that costs significantly more than the finisheritself. This is because after about 15 sheets (60 pages) the booklet willrequire trimming.

Scanning on the Minolta comesstandard with their connectivity option. The Toshiba GL1020 comesstandard with scanning, but Toshiba offers a less expensive EFI solutionwithout the feature – or the additional cost.

Analysts actually tested the Konica 7155 and mentioned the Minolta’sTandem Copy capability. Analysts have found that in reality it usually isnot any more productive due to additional set-up and processing time.Toshiba used to offer a tandem print and copy feature, but itsacceptance was less than enthusiastic.

The product also has a low PM cycle and developer yield (250K).Actually this is on par for products in this speed range, but notsatisfactory for anything that might try to help out in a print intensiveCRD or Print-for-Pay environment. Again, the Toshiba is 400K on both.And when it does eventually require periodic maintenance (and they alleventually do), the e-STUDIO550 incorporates Service Modules to cut thePM time from hours to minutes. These are important points in missioncritical environments.

The Di551 holds 2,600 sheets standard, but owners can add an externalLCF to raise the capacity to 6,600. The Toshiba holds 3,600 sheetsstandard with a very compact 4,000-sheet external LCF boosting thepaper on tap to 7,600 sheets. The Minolta LCF can prohibit theplacement in many cases due to its large size. The Toshiba offers 4,000-sheet finishing capacity as compared to the Di551s 3,000 (only 2,500with saddle-stitch version)

The Minolta controller is an older and slower EFI Fiery™ X3e running atonly 366 MHz. Both controllers from Toshiba have processors running atnearly twice the speed, and the feature sets are much stronger. Forexample, only the Toshiba offers Internet Faxing.

The Aficio 1055 is the latest 55 PPM product from Ricoh. Runningthrough the list, the Toshiba has a faster FCOT and the warm-up timeon the Toshiba is over twice as fast. The Ricoh can hold slightly morepaper (7,750/7,600). The toner yield on the Toshiba is over 25% greaterthan on the Ricoh. The Ricoh does not utilize Service Modules like theToshiba does. This means that when the Ricoh requires service it willtake considerably longer to perform. A PM takes minutes on theToshiba and likely hours on the Ricoh.

Analysts have not tested the Aficio 1055 yet. The Ricoh also has aTandem Lower Drawer, much like the Toshiba. The cassettes cannothold heavier than 34# paper. This model can take 41# bond (85# Index)in the bypass only. The 1055 has tandem copy and print capabilitiestoo. The e-STUDIO550 doesn’t have tandem copying, but with Velocityfrom EFI, the GA1140-connected Toshiba can do cluster printingbetween up to12 systems – any 12 EFI-powered systems.

The e-STUDIO550 has a greater finisher capacity too (4,000/3,250). Theconnectivity solutions from Toshiba are much stronger and the nameToshiba is a very familiar one in IT circles. Between the Toshibamanufactured solution and the EFI solution, Toshiba offers thestrongest connectivity of any vendor.

This model from Ricoh is somewhat stripped-down compared with the1060. For example, this model offers no scanning and limited finishercapabilities. There is no saddle-stitch option, and they do not offer aPost Inserter. The front panel on the e-STUDIO550 with its larger buttonsand other Section 508 attributes enable opportunities that Ricohcannot. Any office with handicapped workers will appreciate the effortthat Toshiba has made in addressing their special needs.

The connectivity on the Aficio 1055 is much weaker than eithercontroller offered by Toshiba. The processor on the Ricoh runs at halfthe speed and besides lacking the scanning features the Toshiba offers,the Ricoh doesn’t have Internet Faxing either.

The Toshiba is 5 PPM faster, and has an FCOT over a second fasterthan the Sharp. Unlike the higher-speed models from Sharp, which arere-badged Toshibas, the AR507 is Sharp’s own design. Sharp hasbettered Toshiba on the warm-up time, but not by much. Toshiba wasgoing to claim 150 seconds also, but found that in some cases it couldbe as much as 160 seconds and chose to stay on the safe side.

The resolution on the Toshiba is higher, the bypass holds twice asmuch and RADF scan speed is 18 OPM faster than the Sharp AR507.The Sharp product lacks any advanced finishing features beyond basicstapling. There is no hole punch, saddle-stitch, Post Inserter and notab printing or copying support. In addition, the Sharp cannot handleheavy paper.

The PM intervals and toner yields are nowhere near the e-STUDIO550’S,and the AR507 does not use Service Modules. The paper capacity andfinisher capacity are significantly greater on the e-STUDIO550.

Analysts did not think the AR507 was stellar in any particular area. Theymentioned the walk-up user interface, but noted that the Toshiba iswell liked, and the same across the product line. Sharp can’t claim that.Sharp does not address Section 508 with the AR507, Toshiba does withtheir larger buttons and QuickTab. Analysts liked the tandem print andcopy feature, but admitted that most jobs could be run on a singlesystem faster than it could be set to be shared. Also, the tandem couldnot recover the set in progress if one of the copiers went down.Analysts noted significant limitations of the tandem unit due in part tothe increased processing time, difficult set up and lack of setproduction recovery capabilities.

Sharp offers their own developed controller as well as an EFI solution.Analysts liked Sharp’s system for its simplicity. The remote diagnosticsfrom Sharp Monitor are SNMP-based like Toshiba’s and Sharp PrinterAdministration software (like GL-Admin) let users look at all systemssimultaneously. Sharp also does offer scanning to file on the AR 507.

The Sharp does not allow users to scan jobs ahead like the e-STUDIO550does. Analysts cited poor print quality on the AR507 due to its dated400 dpi scanner. The image quality is much better on the Toshiba dueto its higher resolution scanner and advanced image qualityenhancements like the serial filter and more.

Just a quick review of the specifications clearly indicates that theToshiba is the stronger product.

vs. XEROX DC555

The Xerox is a significantly lighter duty machine. No duty cycle is listed,but Xerox’s are traditionally low. The Toshiba has a slightly faster FCOT.The finisher capacity on the Toshiba is double that of the 555 and theXerox finisher exits the opposite side of many copiers including theToshiba. The Xerox RADF holds only 70 sheets. The 555 can accept110# in all sources. The brochure says it can feed tab paper, but doesn’tconfirm if can copy or print on Tab paper.

The Xerox 555 is a new engine that has yet to be tested by analysts.The 555 is the fastest of 3 models based on the same engine. ForToshiba, the 550 is the slowest of three engines. This implies theToshiba e-STUDIO550 is built on a stouter platform. Being a light dutyengine, the finishing can’t compare to Toshiba’s. There’s no PostInserter, or Saddle-Stitch and the single bin finisher holds half of whatToshiba’s 2-bin finisher can. The toner yield at 28K is also low; less thanhalf that of the Toshiba.

This model, like the new Ricoh 1060/75 and the Toshiba 28-81PPMmodels has 80211B wireless support. Still, the connectivity options onthe Toshiba are much stronger than the Xerox. Only Toshiba gives usersa choice on connectivity and only Toshiba offers an EFI solutionenabling Velocity cluster printing.

Xerox claims edge-to-edge printing capability and they do have atransparency interleave feature. 4,800 sheets is with all the options, butconsidering no external LCF, it holds a lot of paper. Still, without anexternal LCF, this model has significantly less paper than Toshiba’ orany of the others. The Toshiba with LCF holds 7,600 sheets.

Look at the slow FCOT of the Xerox. Taking over twice as long will bean unpleasant end-user experience. The warm-up time is over a minutelonger than the e-STUDIO550 also. The scanner speed is only 50 OPM asopposed to the Toshiba’s 65 OPM.

The low duty cycle, paper volume, finisher capacity and toner yieldmean that the Xerox will require more user intervention than the e-STUDIO550. This further indicates that the Toshiba is the moreproductive offering.

Both vendor’s products are new, but the Xerox can’t compare to theToshiba in terms of feature-set high-volume usage. The e-STUDIO550 canhold over 30% more paper, twice the amount of paper in the finisher thanthe Xerox and offers much stronger paper handling features. Only theToshiba offers a saddle-stitch finisher, 2 & 3-hole punch and a postinserter. The toner yield, as well as all of the shortcomings pointed outabove make the Toshiba the more productive unit.

Here are specification highlights showing the e-STUDIO650 against theiR6000. When selling against the iR6000 point out that although the e-STUDIO650 is a brand new engine design, it utilizes proven technology.Right off, the Toshiba is 5 PPM faster, with a faster warm-up time andhas a number of productivity enhancing features too. The e-STUDIO650’sdoc feeder scanning speed is also faster. Notice the Toshiba’s bypassholds twice as much, as does its finisher. The e-STUDIO’s toner yield isgreater too. Play up the Toshiba’s strengths when faced with acompetitive situation. Toshiba offers Post Inserter support and both 2and 3-hole punch capability; not just 3-hole.

Mention the Tab Printing and Copying capabilities of the e-STUDIO

models that the Canon doesn’t have, and how easy they are to use – aswell as the other features thanks to the streamlined-intuitive front panelof all Toshiba models. This model is particularly noteworthy becausethe larger buttons, and a QuickTab make it 508-friendly.

Analysts critiqued the iR6000’s image quality of digital images and saythat it is slow to process graphic-intensive files. This may be due to therelatively simple controller they use which is powered by two 90 MHzprocessors and 128 MB of RAM. They have also pointed out thatconnecting the Canon was difficult and required Canon’s technicalassistance. Finally, they knock the scanning feature noting that it doesnot have a scan to file capability in the traditional sense.

Universal Send is their scanning solution, which does no more than theGL1020’s scan feature. The feature enables users to send scanneddocuments to email addresses, file servers or to the copier itself forstorage, printing or merging with other jobs. Both connectivitysolutions from Toshiba be it the GL1020 or the EFI controller [withoptions] can provide this same capability with more flexibility.

They also pointed out that cover page and insert control was weak. Youcouldn’t create a document that drew from every source and youcouldn’t copy or print on tabs. There’s also limited finisher capacitycompared to some models today including the new e-STUDIO650.

The PM interval for the iR6000 is not known, but is likely to be between250,000 and 300,000 based on its iR5000i sibling. The e-STUDIO650however has a 460K PM interval, which is among the highest for anyproduct offered in this class and even exceeds many higher-volumeprinting and copying solutions. Only the Toshiba model utilizes ServiceModules to simplify periodic maintenance reducing service times tominutes instead of hours as on the Canon. The Service Modules as wellas everything mentioned above show the e-STUDIO650 is a moreproductive system in many ways.

The Konica 7165 is another competitor of the e-STUDIO650. The Toshiba’swarm-up time is over twice as fast (~2.5 minutes/5.5 minutes). Other keypoints include the e-STUDIO’s Tab printing capability, 2 & 3-hole punch(vs. 7165’s 3-only), the Toshiba’s greater maximum [and standard] papercapacity and significantly greater finisher capacity (4K/2.5K). The Toshibaalso has a higher toner yield and PM interval, which significantlyimproves overall productivity.

Analysts praised the 7165 for having 7 addressable paper sourcesincluding 2-Post Inserter locations (front & back covers for instance). Onthe Toshiba you can accomplish this by simply printing the front andback covers as one job and then insert them into the finisher pre-collated. Analysts also liked the large ledger-size paper amounts thatcould be on tap. Even though it has two 500-sheet cassettes and a1,500-sheet tandem drawer (not 2,500 like ours), the external 4,000-sheetLCF can be ordered for a price ($3,185) to support 12”x18” (bigger thanledger) paper. Keep in mind this adds significantly to the size of the system.

Konica’s playing up the 7165’s section 508 compliance with the inclusionof a 15-degree tilt capability on the front panel. The e-STUDIO650’s frontpanel has a natural tilt to it. Plus Toshiba’s now added the QuickTab toassist visually-challenged users with performing 6 of the most routinecopy duplex, sorting and finishing jobs. The QuickTab presents theinformation in larger reverse type (black background with white letters)and already has preset sorting and finishing choices for users. The frontpanel buttons on these models are also larger.

They commented on the fact that on the 7165 users could refill toneron the fly. This is nice, but with the e-STUDIO650’s 25% greater toneryield, this won’t have to be done as often, and with Toshiba’s easy tochange cartridge, it can be done very quickly. Furthermore, the Toshibasystem notifies you of low toner well in advance of running dry.

The KM-6330 is a 2 PPM slower engine with almost a half secondslower FCOT. The warm-up time on the Kyocera Mita is more thandouble that of the Toshiba. The Toshiba has stronger finishing featuresand holds 25% more output between its two trays. On the Toshiba thetoner yield is double that of the KM-6330. The PM interval is over 25%longer and only the Toshiba uses Service Modules. These equate to asystem that can be part of your customer’s workforce more often thanthe competition.

The KM-6330 offers a 7-Bin Mailbox and a saddle-stitch finisher. Withoptions, it can hold over 8,000 sheets of paper. The Kyocera Mita has 9copy job memories and the document storage feature holds print orcopy jobs. These are only available to walk-up users for printing – notfrom the desktop. Kyocera Mita also includes Print Monitor, which isbasically the same thing as GL Admin with respect to basic statusfeedback. It has an additional program that enables administrators tomap their facility and get feedback on the status of their copiers.

Over 2 years ago analysts tested the KM-6230, which is essentially thesame product as the KM-6330. They commented on the slow printspeeds. This is because the processor has less than one-third thepower of either of the Toshiba solutions. The KM-6330 cannot handletab paper and there is no sheet inserter option. When scanning, userscannot name files; the controller does it for them much like the olderSC-2’s scanner did. The new Toshiba solutions let you name the files.Analysts claimed the KM-6230 created large files under normal printingconditions. This exacerbates the slow printing problem noted earlier.

The Toshiba engine is brand new and incorporates the latest availabletechnology. A look at the specifications will show you that the Toshibais a much stronger engine too. While the KM-6330 does have a mailboxoption, it is severely limited. Note that the Toshiba finisher hold 4,000sheets, which is 25% more than Kyocera-Mita’s strongest offering. Also,only the e-STUDIO offers a Post Inserter and tab printing and copying.

Furthermore, the front panel on the e-STUDIO650 addresses Section 508,where the KM-6330 offers nothing. The Toshiba also has a significantlybetter PM interval, and only the Toshiba uses Service Modules,meaning that the Toshiba will require maintenance less often and whenit eventually does, it will take significantly less time to perform. TheToshiba is also a 3 PPM faster for the record. All of the above features,and so much more, make the Toshiba a much more productive system.

The Minolta (a re-badged Konica 7165) is another competitor of the e-STUDIO650. The Toshiba’s warm-up time is over twice as fast (~2.5minutes/6 minutes). Other key points include the e-STUDIO650’s Tabprinting capability, 2 & 3-hole punch (vs. Di650’s 3-only), the Toshiba’sgreater maximum [and standard] paper capacity and greater finishercapacity (4K/2.5K). The Toshiba also has a higher toner yield and PMinterval, which significantly improves overall productivity.

The Minolta has a similar booklet maker to the Toshiba yet allowsbooklets using 20 sheets of paper (80 pages). It should be noted thatthey also offer a trimmer that costs significantly more than the finisheritself. This is because after about 15 sheets (60 pages) the booklet willrequire trimming. Toshiba, like some others simply limited the finisherto 15 sheets for best results. Scanning on the Minolta comes standardwith their connectivity option. The Toshiba GL1020 comes standardwith scanning, but Toshiba offers a less expensive EFI solution withoutthe feature – or the additional cost.

The Minolta LCF can prohibit the placement in many cases due to itslarge size. The Toshiba offers 4,000-sheet finishing capacity ascompared to the Di650’s 3,000 (only 2,500 with saddle-stitch version).

The Minolta controller is an EFI product, unlike what Konica offers. Thisis a much earlier release from EFI than the controller that Toshiba uses.It uses a slower 366 MHz processor as opposed to the 500 MHz versionin the Toshiba controller from EFI. Toshiba also offers a secondcontroller option developed internally that uses a 566 MHz processorand has some distinguishing features including TopAccess Composerand iFax. Additionally, only the Toshiba product has scan-to-emailcapabilities.

Make sure to mention the PM intervals of the Toshiba product relativeto the Minolta. The fact that the Toshiba is nearly double translates to acopier that is ready to work more often than it needs to be worked on.And when it does eventually require periodic maintenance (and they alleventually do), the e-STUDIO650 incorporates Service Modules to cut thePM time from hours to minutes. In closing, you may wish to emphasizethat the Minolta product is not manufactured by themselves (It’sKonica).

The Aficio 1060 is the latest 60 PPM product from Ricoh. Runningthrough the list, the Toshiba is 5 PPM faster and has a faster FCOT andthe warm-up time on the Toshiba is over twice as fast. The Ricoh canhold more paper (8,300 /7,600). The finisher capacity on the Ricoh is1,000 sheets less, but they offer a 9-bin mailbox option. Ricoh doesoffer an Interposer (Post Inserter) option too, but it cannot be used withthe mailbox. The toner yield on the Toshiba is over 25% greater than onthe Ricoh. The Ricoh does not utilize Service Modules like the Toshibadoes. This means that when the Ricoh requires service it will takeconsiderably longer to perform. A PM takes minutes on the Toshibaand likely hours on the Ricoh.

Analysts just completed their review and gave the product very highmarks (5 stars actually). They liked the 10 Copy Job Memories on theRicoh. The Toshiba only has 5. On the Ricoh it’s important to note thatprint jobs sent from the network can occupy these memory locationsand in busy departmental situations, they are likely to do so. The Ricohalso has a Tandem Lower Drawer, much like the Toshiba, and the Ricohhas a 9-Bin mailbox that analysts liked. Mention our Private Print featuretoo, which may address most of their concerns. Also the Post Insertercannot be used with their mailbox. The main cassettes cannot holdheavier than 34# paper. If this model is like its predecessor, it can take110# in drawer 2 only. The Interposer is limited to 110# where as theToshiba Post Inserter runs to 140# and can be operated independent ofthe copier (big bonus). The 1060 has tandem copy and printcapabilities too. The e-STUDIO650 doesn’t have tandem copying, butwith Velocity from EFI, the GA1140-connected Toshiba can do clusterprinting between up to12 systems – any 12 EFI-powered systems.

The e-STUDIO650 has a greater finisher capacity (4,000/3,000). Theconnectivity solutions from Toshiba are much stronger and the nameToshiba is a very familiar one in IT circles. Between the Toshibamanufactured solution and the EFI solution, Toshiba offers thestrongest connectivity of any vendor.

The front panel on the e-STUDIO650 with its larger buttons and otherSection 508 attributes enable opportunities that Ricoh cannot.

Both can run at 65 PPM. Prospects may think the Xerox is a 70 PPMsystem, but it’s not. Also, look at the slow FCOT of the Xerox. Thewarm-up time is over a minute longer than the e-STUDIO650 too. The 50-sheet bypass on the 470 is half the capacity of the Toshiba and themaximum paper capacity including the bypass and all the options isjust 5150. The toner yield is just over a third that of the Toshiba. *BLIlists the 470 as having 11,000 account codes, but Better Buys lists 2,450.

The 460/470/480 took Better Buys Editors choice in 2002. BBB liked theconcurrency. Xerox is the only other manufacturer to offer ServiceModules for their products, but Xerox wants the end-user to installthem, where Toshiba feels the technician should so they can inspectother aspects of the system for proper performance. They claimed the470 offered reasonable duplex productivity (not the best, butreasonable). Holding 12”x18” paper is unique. Also, the Xerox can holdheavy 110# paper in most of its sources. The Toshiba can hold 110# inall of its paper sources, and 140# in the post inserter, which Xeroxdoesn’t even offer.

Xerox has a reputation for high price, and BBB says the 470 followstradition. The 470 is the same as the old DC265 with limited papercapacity, finishing and paper handling features. Xerox is the last vendor still scanning at less than 600 x 600 dpi. Only Xerox scans at 400 x 600 dpi.

The Toshiba e-STUDIO650 is a brand new engine incorporating the latesttechnology available. The Toshiba with its 7,600-sheet paper capacityholds over 30% more paper than the aging 470’s limited 5,100-sheetcapacity. The finishing on the Toshiba is significantly stronger too asonly the Toshiba offers the hole punch or saddle-stitch option and thefinisher capacity is twice that of the Xerox. Only the Toshiba has anoptional Post Inserter, which can significantly enhance your customer’sdocument appearance. Due to the age of this model’s design, there areno Section 508 specific enhancements on the Xerox 470.

The low duty cycle, paper volume, finisher capacity and toner yieldmean that the Xerox will require significantly more user interventionthan the e-STUDIO650. The connectivity options on the Toshiba are muchstronger than on the Xerox. Only Toshiba gives users a choice onconnectivity and only Toshiba offers an EFI solution enabling Velocitycluster printing if necessary. All of the aforementioned differencesindicate that the Toshiba is the more productive offering.

The 72 PPM Canon iR7200 falls between Toshiba’s e-STUDIO650 and e-STUDIO810 in terms of basic system speed. Toshiba recommends thee-STUDIO810 be suggested when competing against the iR7200. Userswill appreciate the Toshiba product’s faster warm-up time (over twice as fast).

The PM interval on the e-STUDIO810 is double that of the iR7200 andonly the Toshiba uses Service Modules. This means that the Canon willrequire service twice as often, and it will likely take much more thantwice as long to perform. PMs can take hours on conventional systemslike the iR7200. On the Toshiba it takes only minutes. This is a veryimportant factor in high-end products, because these machines producelarge volumes of output in a short period of time. The longer they’re notproducing, the more they’re costing the customer. Additionally theToner Yield on the Toshiba is nearly double that of the Canon.

The Canon requires a 220V connection. The Toshiba runs on 110 voltdedicated 20 Amp connection making it an easier fit in any situation.

Canon offers users the ability to merge print and copy jobs via theirPage Composer feature within the Remote User Interface. On theToshiba, this can be accomplished too with the GL1020, by scanningthe job you want to merge with the print job and using TopAccessComposer to look at thumbnails of the scan job and the print job.Merging and page reordering can easily be performed via a user-friendly browser-based interface. The Toshiba also has the iFaxcapability making it a more useful product in departmental circles or inany environment where more systems may reside. The iFax featureenables users to send documents scanned on one system to anotherfor printing – all automatically and via the Internet, just as if you wereactually making a copy.

Analysts knocked the Canon for having a slow first set out time statingthat this could be an issue for many. Make sure to mention that the e-STUDIO810 finisher options hold 1,000 sheets more than the Canonoffering. So while the Canon may have the advantage of being the firstproduct out there, the Toshiba has a lot more going for it. It wasdesigned with productivity and reliability in mind.

Toshiba offers much stronger connectivity than Canon. BothConnectivity solutions from Toshiba are LINUX based and morepowerful than those offered by Canon. The feature set on the GL1020 isunmatched by any competitors – Canon or otherwise. Toshiba can offerwireless connectivity and the powerful, emerging iFax feature. Thesefeatures will prove very popular with customers and potentially enablemore placement opportunities.

The Canon iR8500 is one of the leaders among the high-end digitalmultifunction products line-up. Still, the Toshiba e-STUDIO810 offersmany advantages. For starters, the Toshiba finisher holds 4,000 sheets,while the Canon holds only 3,000. The duty cycle and PM Interval onthe e-STUDIO810 is double that of the iR8500 and only the Toshiba usesService Modules. This means that the Canon will require service twiceas often, and it will likely take much more than twice as long toperform. These machines produce large volumes of output in a shortperiod of time. The longer they’re not producing, the more they’recosting the customer. Additionally the Toner Yield on the Toshiba isnearly double that of the Canon.

The Canon requires a 220V connection, The Toshiba runs on 110 volt with a dedicated 20 Amp connection making it an easier fit in any situation.

Canon offers a feature with their products that enables users to mergeprint and copy jobs via their Page Composer software on their RemoteUser Interface. Toshiba provides the more powerful TopAccessComposer. Merging and page reordering jobs from multiple sourcescan easily be performed via a user-friendly browser-based interface.

The iR8500 features Canon’s Universal Send, which is similar toToshiba’s iFax, but the Canon feature also allows copy jobs to actuallybe split. This is in effect Tandem Copying. Unfortunately, this feature isonly available for copy jobs and is proprietary rendering it only useful ifmore Canon products with the Universal Send feature are nearby. WithToshiba’s iFax, Copy jobs can be sent to any iFax system on the LANwhether it be from Toshiba or another iFax-compliant system. Currently,the Toshiba e-STUDIO series are the fastest products with iFax.

Like Toshiba, Canon offers two controller options. Both Connectivitysolutions from Toshiba are more powerful than those offered by Canon.While both vendors offer EFI Fiery® controllers, the Canon controller is ofan older design, while the Toshiba uses the latest technology, built on aLINUX operating system. This enables Toshiba to keep the controllerprice at bay, while not having to sacrifice any performance. The Canonversion uses a more archaic design built around Windows® NT likeToshiba did on their older versions. The processor on both Canon’s andToshiba’s Fiery® controllers runs at 500 MHz.

The GL1020 from Toshiba is also a powerful LINUX based solution thatresides inside the e-STUDIO550/650/810, but provides scanning andPostScript™ 3 at no additional charge. The processor on the ToshibaGL1020 runs at 566 MHz. The feature set on the GL1020 is unmatchedby any competitors – Canon or otherwise. Toshiba can also offerwireless connectivity.

The 75 PPM 7075 is 6 PPM slower than the 81 PPM e-STUDIO810 and thee-STUDIO has an FCOT of over a half second faster. Warm up timedifferences are even greater. While the Konica outputs at 600 dpi, it stillhas only a 400 dpi scanner unit; outdated by today’s standards.Toshiba’s is 600 dpi. The Konica offers 3-hole punch, but the Toshibapunch option comes with both 2 and 3-hole capabilities. The PMIntervals are the same, but only the Toshiba uses Service Modules. TheToshiba’s toner yield is slightly higher as is its maximum paper capacitymaking the Toshiba a more productive system.

The Konica is a reasonable offering for POD markets, but lacks some ofthe advanced features of the Toshiba. Like Toshiba’s product, the 7075can handle 110# paper through every paper source. The Konica doesoffer more ledger-size paper capacity, but it comes at the expense of alesser base system paper capacity, lesser overall paper capacity andlarger overall system size with the external LCF. The Konica has too lowa standard paper capacity without the large external paper source forpractical use. Even worse, it cannot copy or print on tab paper eventhough it can feed them. Only the Toshiba can copy and print on tabs.

The external controller on the Konica is outdated and hides inside acabinet on the system – adding to its overall large size. The controllerwas difficult for analysts to connect due to its poor integration with thesystem and they said the approach was quirky. Analysts also did not likethe limited device feedback provided to users. Also, the driver onlyenables a subset of the copier’s features. No sheet inserter control waspossible from the desktop. The user interface was somewhat confusingand offered no Private Print capabilities. The Toshiba product includesMicrosoft® certified software with full option control from the desktop.

The output quality on the Toshiba is much higher too as it is 600 x 2,400dpi where the Konica defaults to 400 dpi for performance sake. Bothsystems have Post Inserters and Saddle-Stitch, but these features areconfusing to operate from the desktop of the Konica. Many otheraspects of the Konica controller are inferior too from its external designto its NT based operating system. Both Toshiba controller’s are Linuxbased. Only the Toshiba product adequately addresses Section 508 ofthe Americans with Disabilities with its QuickTab LCD and larger frontpanel buttons. Furthermore, only the Toshiba uses Service Modulesmeaning that a Periodic Maintenance can be performed in asignificantly shorter period of time, enabling the Toshiba to remain acontributing member of your customer’s workforce.

The 85 PPM 7085 from Konica is 4 PPM faster than the 81 PPM e-STUDIO810 yet the e-STUDIO has a slightly faster FCOT. Warm up timedifferences are significant with the Konica warm-up taking more thantwice as long. Both models offer saddle-stitch finishers, but theToshiba’s finisher capacity is greater. Konica offers a Z-Fold unit and 3-hole punch, but the Toshiba punch option comes with both 2 and 3-hole capabilities. The PM Intervals are the same, but only the Toshibauses Service Modules. The Toshiba’s toner yield is about the same, butits maximum paper capacity makes the Toshiba a more productivesystem. The Konica can hold more legal or ledger size paper with theoptional LCF, but this extra adds greatly to the system’s size. TheKonica has too low a standard paper capacity without the large externalpaper source for practical use. Even worse, it cannot copy or print ontab paper even though it can feed them. Only the Toshiba can copyand print on tabs. Like Toshiba’s product the 7085 can handle 110#paper through every paper source.

The external controller on the Konica is also outdated and is actuallyhidden inside a cabinet on the system – adding to its overall large size.Analysts also did not like the clone PostScript™. With the GL1020,Toshiba provides a very reliable PS3 solution, and with the EFIcontroller, Toshiba offers optional true Adobe® PS3. Status, like paperjams were not relayed back to the administrator’s software. Analystsmentioned that the User Interface might be too difficult for most usersespecially Print Shops, who most likely might consider this.

The Toshiba e-STUDIO810 is a brand new engine design. The outputquality on the Toshiba is higher at 600 x 2,400 dpi compared to theKonica’s even 600 dpi. The Toshiba has 2 and 3-hole punch capabilities(Konica 3-hole only) and a much greater finisher capacity.

The 85 PPM Di850 from Minolta is actually a re-badged version of theKonica 7085. It is identical in all respects except for the controller, whichon the Minolta is an EFI version. The Minolta is 4 PPM faster than the81 PPM e-STUDIO810 yet the e-STUDIO810 has a slightly faster FCOT.Warm-up time differences are significant with the Minolta warm-uptaking more than twice as long. Both models offer saddle-stitchfinishers, but the Toshiba’s finisher capacity is greater. Minolta offers aZ-Fold unit too. The Minolta offers 3-hole punch, but the Toshiba punchoption comes with both 2 and 3-hole capabilities. The PM Intervals arethe same, but only the Toshiba uses Service Modules. The Toshiba’stoner yield is about the same, but its maximum paper capacity makesthe Toshiba a more productive system. The Minolta can hold morelegal or ledger-size paper with the optional LCT, but this extra addsgreatly to the system’s size. The Minolta has too low a standard papercapacity without the large external paper source for practical use. Evenworse, it cannot copy or print on tab paper even though it can feedthem. Only the Toshiba can copy and print on tabs

Like Toshiba’s product the Di850 can handle 110# paper through everypaper source. The Minolta does offer more ledger-size paper capacity,but it comes at the expense of a lesser base system paper capacity,lesser overall paper capacity and larger overall system size with theexternal LCF.

The external controller on the Minolta comes from EFI and is actuallyhidden inside a cabinet on the system – adding to its overall large size.Their Fiery® is closer in spec. to the Toshiba GL1020, but due to itsexternal design is actually more similar to Toshiba’s older SC-2. TheMinolta EFI controller, while perhaps better than the Konica offering, isnot as sophisticated as either Toshiba offering.

The Toshiba e-STUDIO810 is a brand new engine design. The outputquality on the Toshiba is higher too at 600 x 2,400 dpi compared to theMinolta’s even 600 dpi. The Toshiba has 2 and 3-hole punch capabilities(Minolta 3-hole only) and a much greater finisher capacity. Both systemshave Post Inserters and Saddle-Stitch, but the Post Inserter control fromthe desktop is limited. Many other aspects of the Minolta controller areinferior too from its external design to its NT based operating system.Both Toshiba controllers are Linux based. Only the Toshiba productadequately addresses Section 508 of the Americans with Disabilitieswith its QuickTab LCD and larger front panel buttons. Furthermore, onlythe Toshiba uses Service Modules meaning that a PeriodicMaintenance can be performed in a significantly shorter period of time,enabling the Toshiba to remain a contributing member of yourcustomer’s workforce.

The Aficio 1075 is the latest high-end digital multifunction product fromRicoh. Running through the list, the Toshiba is faster in this comparisonand has a faster FCOT and the warm-up time on the Toshiba is overtwice as fast. The Ricoh can hold more paper (8,300 /7,600). The finishercapacity on the Ricoh is less, but they offer a 9-bin mailbox option.Ricoh does offer an Interposer (Post Inserter) option, but it cannot beused with the mailbox. The toner yield on the Toshiba is over 25%greater than on the Ricoh. The Ricoh does not utilize Service Moduleslike the Toshiba does. This means that when the Ricoh requires serviceit will take considerably longer to perform. A PM takes minutes on theToshiba and likely hours on the Ricoh.

Analysts have just completed their review of the 1075 and gave theproduct very good marks (5 stars). They liked the 10 Copy JobMemories on the Ricoh. The Ricoh also has a Tandem Lower Drawer,much like the Toshiba, and the Ricoh has a 9-Bin mailbox that analystsliked. Mention Toshiba’s Private Print feature, which may address mostuser’s concerns. The main cassettes cannot hold heavier than 34#paper. If this model is like its predecessor, it can take 110# in drawer 2only. The Interposer is limited to 110# where as the Toshiba PostInserter runs to 140# and can be operated independent of the copier(big bonus).

The 1075 has tandem copy and print capabilities too. The e-STUDIO810currently doesn’t have tandem copying, but with Velocity from EFI, theGA1140-connected Toshiba can do cluster printing between up to12systems – any 12 EFI-powered systems.

RPCS appears to perform like our Document Storage feature, howeveranalysts stated IT managers expressed resistance to their approach dueto its proprietary, application-based nature.

The e-STUDIO810 has a greater finisher capacity (4,000/3,000). Theconnectivity solutions from Toshiba are much stronger and the nameToshiba is a very familiar one in IT circles. Between the Toshibamanufactured solution and the EFI solution, Toshiba offers thestrongest connectivity of any vendor.

The front panel on the e-STUDIO810 with its larger buttons and otherSection 508 attributes enable opportunities that the Ricoh cannot enter.

The Ricoh does not utilize Service Modules like the Toshiba does. Thismeans that when the Ricoh requires service it will take considerablylonger to perform. A PM takes minutes on the Toshiba and likely hours on the Ricoh. Don’t forget the Toshiba has a faster copy and print speed.

Yes the Ricoh is 85 PPM, while the e-STUDIO810 runs at 81 PPM, butnever the less the Toshiba has a faster first copy out time. This may bedue in part to the fact that the 1085 is so large. The paper simply has totravel further. The extremely large size, intimidating demeanor and220V requirement may exclude this from many departmentalplacements. The e-STUDIO810 really leaps ahead in this area because itis modular in design. As a result, it is a smaller unit initially and cansimply fit in more locations. The Toshiba has much faster warm uptime: 2.5~ minutes vs. 6 minutes. The 1085 still has 6 paper sources, butno bypass. The bypass can be a really convenient source for short-runspecial printing and copying projects. Even with its large size, the Aficioactually holds less paper than the e-STUDIO810.

Also note that the PM interval on the e-STUDIO810 is 20% greater thanthe 1085’s and only the 810 uses Service Modules. This means that theToshiba product is ready to work more often than the Ricoh. Mentionthe toner yields too. The 810 does hold more toner, the Ricoh actuallyhas 2 smaller bottles.

Analysts liked the Ricoh’s large front panel too. This is not the kind of UIthat you’d see in anything but a POD environment. It is intimidating.People should be aware that the 1085 is not for everyone. Its large size,front panel and voltage requirements will keep it out of departmentallocations. The finisher capacity is less than the e-STUDIO810’s, and theirbooklet maker is not an on the fly solution like Toshiba’s.

The Aficio 1085 has a scan to CD feature, but the file format isproprietary. With the scan to file capabilities of Toshiba’s products, onecould easily scan to a CD burner on a client PC using the “Direct CD”software that comes with most burners. The format isn’t proprietaryeither. It’s PDF or TIFF.

Analysts were critical of the 1085’s booklet maker. To use the 1085booklet maker, you have to disable the copier and make majorhardware swaps. The 1085 also has tandem print and copy, which theanalyst’s are on the fence about. It’s unreliable with respect to the lastcopy.

The type 850 controller is significantly lower performance than whatToshiba offers. It has a slow processor (266 MHz), no PS3 (it has PSL2)and no imposition software. Toshiba offers stronger connectivityoptions than Ricoh. Yes, their EB105e from EFI is good, and analystsliked it, but Toshiba’s is more current and employs more technology.Toshiba’s Fiery® is Linux based. Toshiba’s DSE solution includes strongerscanning solution, iFax and wireless connectivity options.

The Toshiba e-STUDIO810 is 6 PPM faster than the Xerox 480. Prospectsmay think the Xerox is an 80 PPM system, but it is not. Point that out ifnecessary. Also, look at the slow FCOT of the Xerox. The warm-up timeis over a minute longer than the e-STUDIO650. The maximum papercapacity including the bypass and all the options is just 5150 on theXerox. Analysts credit the 480 as having a 5,100-sheet LCF, but BLIpoints out it is only 3,100. The 490 however gets the 5,100-sheet LCToption. The toner yield is just over a third that of the Toshiba. BLI liststhe 480 as having 11,000 account codes, but Better Buys lists 2,450.

The 460/470/480 took Better Buys Editors choice in 2002. Xerox is theonly other manufacturer to offer Service Modules for their products, butXerox wants the end-user to install them, where Toshiba feels thetechnician should so they can inspect other aspects of the system forproper performance. Holding 12”x18” paper is unique. Also, the Xeroxcan hold heavy 110# paper in most of its sources. The Toshiba can hold110# in all of its paper sources, and 140# in the post inserter, whichXerox doesn’t even offer. Xerox has a reputation for high price, andBBB says the 480 follows tradition. Xerox is the last vendor still scanningat less than 600 x 600 dpi. Only Xerox scans at 400 x 600 dpi.

The Toshiba e-STUDIO810 is a new engine incorporating the latesttechnology. The Toshiba with its 7,600-sheet paper capacity holds over30% more paper than the aging 480’s limited 5,100-sheet capacity. Thefinishing on the Toshiba is significantly stronger too as only the Toshibaoffers the hole punch and saddle-stitch option and the finisher capacityis twice that of the Xerox. Only the Toshiba has an optional PostInserter, which can significantly enhance your customer’s documentappearance. Due to the age of this model’s design, there are noSection 508 specific enhancements.

The Xerox is 9 PPM faster, but that does not mean it is moreproductive. It has a slow FCOT. The warm-up times are close, althoughthe Toshiba has a slight advantage. The 50-sheet bypass on the 490 ishalf the capacity of the Toshiba and the maximum paper capacityincluding the bypass and all the options is 7,150. The toner yield is justover a third that of the Toshiba. The 490 is the lightest-duty high-speedsystem available today. It lacks all of the finishing features andcapabilities of other systems in this class.

Xerox is the only other manufacturer to offer Service Modules, butXerox wants the end-user to install them. Toshiba feels the technicianshould, so they can inspect other aspects of the system for properperformance. Analysts noted the 490’s good print and copy imagequality. Holding 12”x18” paper is unique. Also, the Xerox can holdheavy 110# paper in most of its sources. The Toshiba can hold 110# inall of its paper sources, and 140# in the post inserter, which Xeroxdoesn’t even offer.

Xerox has a reputation for high price, and BBB says the 490 followstradition. Look for a Saddle-Stitch Finisher to be available soon. Notethat the 490 was excluded from the Better Buys Editor’s Choice awardunlike the 460, 470 and 480 models, claiming the 490’s productivityfigures didn’t match the engine’s rated speed.

The Toshiba e-STUDIO810 is a new engine incorporating the latesttechnology. The Toshiba with its 7,600-sheet paper capacity holds 500sheets more paper than the 490. The finishing on the Toshiba issignificantly stronger too as only the Toshiba offers the hole punch andsaddle-stitch option and the finisher capacity is twice that of the Xerox.Only the Toshiba has an optional Post Inserter, which can significantlyenhance your customer’s document appearance. There are no Section508 specific enhancements on the Xerox.
