As your organization considers its next copier lease, there is no doubt that it’s considering exactly what type of copier to get. Copiers come in all shapes and sizes, so it’s not always easy to pick out the best one for your organization’s needs. Thanks to the copier experts at ClearView Business Solutions, you can learn all about some of the best copiers in the business. Our years of experience with Toshiba systems have given us a wealth of knowledge about these products. In this article, we’ll consider a wide variety of Toshiba copiers, in no particular order.
The following copiers are all Toshiba e-STUDIO™ models. While they may look similar and share similar features, each one is a little different from the other. In this article, you’ll learn all about the number of pages per minute (PPM) that each of these copiers prints, as well as these copiers’ features and cutting-edge technologies.
Toshiba e-STUDIO3515AC
We begin with the Toshiba e-STUDIO3515AC.
Where does one even begin with this beautifully-designed system? This efficient system pumps out 35 black-and-white, single-sided pages per minute. You can set the system up in many different ways. You can use:
- a reverse automatic document feeder
- dual-scan document feeders
- paper feed pedestals
- large-capacity trays, stands, a fax board and more
This modern, hyper-connected system can scan documents to an email address. Its control panel resembles a tablet, making the system easy to use for the vast majority of users. Organizations with medium to large volumes of printing should consider this system. In other words, organizations that print as much as medium- to large-sized businesses do should take a look at this system.
This copier one of the best Toshiba estudio copiers, it goes above and beyond the design capabilities of other copiers with its ability to change the control panel’s background to a custom background. It has other neat features like the ability to shortcut many common processes, like scan-to-email, with a one-touch button. This button is convenient and accessible. You can even add and remove icons to and from the control panel on this copier. That is similar to how you would add and remove icons to and from the screen of a tablet or smartphone. The control panel is essentially just like the screen on your smartphone, making it extremely familiar and easy to use.
The e-STUDIO3515AC is the family sedan of copiers, fulfilling all of a medium to large workgroup’s printing, scanning and copying needs.
Toshiba e-STUDIO5015AC
This model is like the e-STUDIO3515AC (even similarly-sized), only faster, printing 50 pages per minute. This system best serves organizations with medium to large volumes of printing.
With advanced e-BRIDGE technology, the system offers:
- an embedded web browser
- 4GB RAM

- a 320GB self-encrypting drive (SED) to power some advanced software.
This system even has a Multi-Station Print Enabler which enables users to send print jobs from their computer then complete the print job by swiping a card at the device. The Multi-Station Print Enabler supports as many as 50 devices.
This capable and productive device can handle up to 105,000 color copies a month, and up to 210,000 monochrome copies a month. This system even has a handy envelope cassette that can hold up to 60 envelopes. These envelopes are organized, fed and printed in a consistent fashion.
Like other Toshiba models, the e-STUDIO5015AC has some very advantageous security measures, such as Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) to encrypt data going to and from the device. The copier is certified to meet the Protection Profile for Hardcopy Devices (HCD-PP), so that its digital documents are safe and sound.

They can then print from and scan to Microsoft’s cloud-based services by simply using a mobile device or the copier’s front panel. That is done using e-BRIDGE Plus apps like e-BRIDGE Plus for Exchange Online, e-BRIDGE Plus for OneDrive® for Business and e-BRIDGE Plus for SharePoint® Online.

Toshiba e-STUDIO2510AC
Printing up to 25 pages per minute, the Toshiba e-STUDIO2510AC features a variety of technology to support many different advanced technological functions. This system can, for example, enable users to print online anytime. It’s ideal for small to medium volumes of printing.
For organizations seeking to staple or standard-sort their documents, a finisher coming with the copier is ideal. The 2510AC features the ability to attach finishers to it, which allow the customer to staple-sort and/or saddle-stitch and fold their documents, depending on the model of the finisher. A bridge is a unit that allows the paper to travel from the copier to the finisher. Organizations sometimes choose between an internal and external finisher based on the area of space where the copier’s placed.

Print resolution reaches up to 1200 x 1200 dots per inch (dpi). If that’s somehow not enough for you, then you should be pleased with the system’s automatic image quality control function.
Check out some more of this system’s impressive specifications:
- Dual-scan document feeder (DSDF) produces as many as 120 impressions per minute (IPM) simplex (on one side of a document), and up to 240 IPM duplex (on both sides of a document). A DSDF scans both sides of a document in one pass, which speeds up the scanning process.
