Toshiba e-STUDIO 409P
40ppm A4 Mono Printer · Print Only
The Toshiba e-STUDIO 409P is a print-only A4 black-and-white printer rated at up to 40ppm. Its 100-sheet bypass and automatic double-sided printing suit everyday documents where colour printing and scanning are already covered. Buy, lease or rent from Camelott®, with UK-wide service and repair.
Toshiba e-STUDIO 409P shown. Your proposal confirms the supplied drawers and accessories.
The Toshiba e-STUDIO 409P is a 40ppm A4 mono printer for letters, invoices, forms and internal reports. Its approximately 368 × 363 × 222mm base body suits a local print point, while the standard 250-sheet drawer and 100-sheet bypass can keep ordinary paper and another approved stock ready. It prints in black and white only and does not scan, copy or fax. Available to buy, lease or rent from Camelott®, with UK-wide service and repair, subject to the supplied configuration, availability, coverage and agreed terms.

Small Footprint, Ready Paper and Straightforward Mono Output
The 409P is useful when staff need black-and-white pages nearby and already have scanning and colour covered elsewhere. The low print-only body can suit reception, accounts or a small team, subject to furniture, ventilation and service clearance.
The standard 100-sheet bypass is a useful distinction from compact printers offering only a single-sheet manual slot. A supported second stock can stay ready without emptying the 250-sheet main drawer. Its approximately 5.9-second first-print rating is also relevant to frequent short jobs.
There are clear limits: a two-line display, wired connections, 150-sheet output and approved automatic duplex stock only up to 90gsm. Faster alternatives exist with more optional input capacity. Choose this configuration for the work it fits, not because 40ppm makes it a high-volume production machine.
Pay for functions people use
What the 409P Can Change in Your Working Day
Keep routine mono pages close to staff
A nearby printer can reduce trips to a shared device for invoices and correspondence. Keep scanning and colour arrangements in mind before adding a print-only point.
Keep another approved paper available
The standard 100-sheet bypass can hold a supported second stock while ordinary paper stays in the drawer. Confirm the actual size, coating, weight and loading limits.
Assess the first page as well as PPM
The approximately 5.9-second first-print figure helps frame a test of small jobs. Processing and waking from sleep can add to the wait.
A low body without a scanner assembly
The base dimensions are approximately 368 × 363 × 222mm. Allow space for the bypass, doors, paper collection and maintenance; optional drawers add height.
Replace wear where it causes disruption
Unworn feed and transport components can help compared with heavily used, ageing equipment. Paper, loading and maintenance still affect jams and reliability; no fixed reduction is guaranteed.
Confirm the current software and security fit
A currently listed platform may have a longer remaining support horizon than an older alternative, but no fixed period is promised. Check exact drivers, applications, firmware and network requirements before ordering.

Choose a number or tab to understand the printer’s functions, benefits and limits. No scanner is fitted to this model.
1. Mono print engine
40ppm Black-and-White Printing for Everyday Documents
The 409P prints in mono only. It has no scanner, copier or fax.
Why this is useful
A local print point can suit letters, forms and accounts paperwork. At rated engine speed, 100 A4 pages represent 2 minutes 30 seconds before first-page and processing effects.
What to weigh up
40ppm is not an automatic-duplex speed or a complete-job guarantee. Check barcodes, small text and graphics using real samples. Higher-resolution and faster printers exist; the sleep figure is not cold-start warm-up.
2. Controls and memory
A Two-Line Display for Basic Printer Tasks
The 409P uses a two-line LCD and buttons, rather than a colour touchscreen.
Why this is useful
A basic local display can be sufficient where staff mainly send jobs from a computer and check status at the printer. It avoids paying for a larger multifunction interface that the task may not require.
What to weigh up
Do not transfer the 409AS’s touchscreen, optional 128GB ISD or TPM to this model. Test large or complex files with the supplied driver. 256MB is RAM, not an SSD or document-storage capacity.
3. Network and security
A Wired Shared Queue with Configured Print Controls
Gigabit Ethernet and Hi-Speed USB 2.0 are the listed 409P interfaces.
Why this is useful
A wired network queue can share a local printer between staff. Mobile devices can print through a correctly configured compatible network without the printer itself having Wi-Fi.
What to weigh up
This marker represents connections; rear sockets are not visible. No wireless option is listed for the 409P in the checked UK brochure. Confirm private print, firmware and protocol settings. TPM and optional ISD belong to other models; do not assume them here.
4. Bypass and media
100 Sheets of Separate Feed as Standard
The standard bypass can keep an approved second stock available alongside the main drawer.
Why this is useful
A supported alternative paper can remain ready for forms or letterhead without repeatedly emptying the drawer. The 100-sheet rating refers to stated plain-paper conditions; special media may need smaller loads.
What to weigh up
An envelope or heavier stock still needs approval for the exact path, size and settings. The217gsm bypass rating does not apply to the cassette or automatic duplex. Test your intended media before ordering supplies.
5. Paper supply and duplex
350-Sheet Base Input with Optional Expansion to 900
The base configuration combines a 250-sheet drawer and 100-sheet bypass. An optional 550-sheet drawer raises total input to 900 sheets.
Why this is useful
Two feeds can separate ordinary paper and another approved stock. Add the extra drawer when it reduces real reloading or stock changes rather than simply maximising the specification.
What to weigh up
The base main drawer does not hold a full ream. Automatic duplex has a narrower weight range than either feed path. Some competing mono printers offer faster output and more optional input;150-sheet output collection remains a separate limit.
6. Output and finishing
150-Sheet Collection for Loose Pages
The 409P collects loose-sheet output. No stapling, booklet-making or automatic hole-punch attachment is listed.
Why this is useful
Short correspondence and reports can be collected close to the people using them. Occasional small packs may be proportionate to staple or punch by hand.
What to weigh up
A large input supply does not make long jobs unattended: output still needs collecting. A driver booklet layout does not physically fold or staple pages. Repeated finished packs need equipment accepting the required attachments.
Printer terminology, explained by Bean
Confused by Printer Jargon?
Bean explains the terms without the technical waffle, including which copier features this print-only machine does not have.
- PPM — Pages Per Minute
- The rated print-engine speed. The 409P prints up to 40 A4 mono pages per minute. Files, first-page response, paper and duplex settings affect complete-job time.
- IPM — Images Per Minute
- Often counts scanned sides. One double-sided original is two images. The 409P has no scanner, so scanner IPM does not apply.
- GSM — Grams Per Square Metre
- Paper weight per square metre. The 409P main drawer supports60–120gsm, bypass60–217gsm and automatic duplex60–90gsm. Each path has its own limits.
- MFP — Multifunction Printer
- Combines printing with functions such as scanning and copying. The 409P is print-only and mono only; it has no scanner, copier or fax.
- ADF — Automatic Document Feeder
- Feeds originals into a scanner. The 409P has no ADF. Its drawer and bypass feed blank print stock, not originals for capture.
- DSDF — Dual Scan Document Feeder
- Captures both sides of an original in one pass. None is fitted here. Discuss a suitable scanner or multifunction device for regular double-sided records.
- RADF — Reversing Automatic Document Feeder
- Scans one side then turns the original to scan the other. The 409P has no original feeder; automatic duplex printing is a different function.
- DADF — Duplexing Automatic Document Feeder
- An original feeder handling both sides. Check single-pass versus reversing designs when choosing scanning equipment. Neither is fitted to the 409P.
- Duplex — Automatic Double-sided Printing
- Prints on both sides without manual reloading. The 409P supports approved A4/custom stock from 60–90gsm for automatic duplex.
- DPI — Dots Per Inch
- A resolution measure. Toshiba specifies up to 600 × 600dpi for the 409P. Judge actual small text, graphics and barcodes; this is not the 1200dpi specification of another family model.
- CPC — Cost Per Copy
- A service-agreement term for the charge per printed or copied page. Here it concerns mono printing. Check minimum billing, duplex counting, consumables, maintenance and exclusions.
- FCOT / FPOT — First Copy / Print Out Time
- Copy time does not apply to this printer. First print is approximately 5.9 seconds under manufacturer test conditions; sleep and processing can add time.
- A4 / A3 — Paper Sizes
- A4 is 210 × 297mm; A3 is 297 × 420mm. The 409P is an A4 platform. Larger sheets or folded A4 booklets need suitable larger-format equipment.
- Booklet Maker — Folded, Stapled Booklets
- A compatible finisher folds pages and staples along the fold. None is listed for the 409P. A software booklet layout does not physically assemble the pages.
- Hole Punch — Pages Ready for Binders
- A compatible finishing attachment punches printed sheets. None is listed for the 409P. Repeated binder packs may justify equipment accepting an automatic punch.
- Corner Staple — Keep Each Set Together
- A staple near the corner holds a report together. The 409P has no listed stapling attachment; occasional packs need external manual assembly.

Where the 409P Can Be the More Useful Choice
Avoid adding colour where it is unnecessary
A dedicated mono point can suit invoices, forms and internal records when colour output is handled elsewhere. Compare actual equipment and running costs; no universal saving is promised.
Keep the installation proportionate
The low 368 × 363 × 222mm base body can suit space-conscious locations. Space savings matter only if paper loading, ventilation and service access still work.
A100-sheet bypass is useful for repeat stocks
Some compact printers have only a single-sheet manual slot. The 409P includes a 100-sheet bypass, useful for supported second stock. Comparable business mono models can include the same capacity, so this is not a unique market-wide advantage.
Use the computer for most print decisions
A two-line display can be enough where local tasks are basic. Choose a larger interface if users need clearer on-device job interaction or workflows the 409P cannot provide.
Faster alternatives do exist
Comparable mono printers advertise 48ppm A4 with greater optional paper expansion. If queues are the problem, demonstrate peak jobs and compare the complete configuration rather than assuming40ppm is the fastest compact choice.
Check duplex before choosing letterhead
This model’s 60–90gsm automatic-duplex range is narrower than the feed ratings. A stock accepted by the bypass is not necessarily suitable for both sides automatically.
Mobile print does not require printer Wi-Fi
Compatible phones can use AirPrint or Mopria through an appropriately configured network connected to the wired printer. Check discovery, permissions and isolation with your IT team.
Ask about assembly before committing
Manual staples and punching may suit occasional reports. If staff regularly assemble booklets, stapled sets or binder packs, compare equipment accepting the required finishing attachments.
Match the functions to the work
The 409P Is a Good Fit When...
It makes sense if you...
- Print mainly black-and-white A4 documents
- Already have scanning, copying and colour elsewhere
- Want a low print-only body near staff
- Value a standard100-sheet bypass for supported stock
- Can use Gigabit Ethernet or USB
- Use approved 60–90gsm paper for automatic duplex
- Can collect output and assemble occasional packs manually
We would compare alternatives if you...
- Need colour, scanning, copying or fax
- Need A3 output
- Need a touchscreen or a verified wireless printer
- Need automatic duplex above 90gsm
- Need inline staples, booklets or hole punching
- Have repeated long runs needing more speed or capacity
- Require TPM, encrypted document storage or workflows not verified for this model

Questions worth asking
Toshiba 409P Questions Answered
Is the 409P a photocopier?
No. It is an A4 black-and-white printer. It does not print in colour, scan, copy or fax.
Can I buy, lease or rent it?
Ask Camelott® for available equipment and the configuration. We confirm condition, availability, finance approval where applicable, delivery, support and agreed terms.
Do you offer UK-wide service and repair?
Yes, Camelott® handles UK-wide enquiries. Provide postcode, meter reading, error codes and symptoms so we can confirm coverage, charges and support.
Why choose a mono print-only device?
It can put routine pages near staff where scanning, copying and colour are already available. Compare the full cost and actual workflow; no universal saving is assumed.
How fast is the 409P?
Up to40ppm A4 mono. First print is approximately 5.9 seconds under manufacturer conditions. Sleep recovery is approximately 9 seconds, separate from cold-start time.
Does it have a touchscreen?
No. The 409P has a two-line LCD and buttons. Other family models have touchscreens; those specifications do not apply here.
How much paper is standard?
The 250-sheet main drawer plus100-sheet bypass gives350-sheet base input. An optional 550-sheet drawer raises the maximum to 900 sheets.
Is the 100-sheet bypass optional?
No. It is standard on this model. Approved stock, size and loading conditions apply; special media may need smaller loads.
Can it print heavy stock double-sided?
Automatic duplex is limited to approved A4/custom60–90gsm stock. The main drawer supports60–120gsm and bypass60–217gsm; those are different paths.
Does it have Wi-Fi?
The checked UK brochure and exact-model European specifications list Gigabit Ethernet and USB for 409P. The wireless option in the family brochure is for409S, not 409P.
How can a phone print to a wired printer?
AirPrint or Mopria can work through a compatible configured network linking the mobile device and wired printer. Discovery, permissions and network isolation need checking.
Does it include a secure SSD, ISD or TPM?
No such 409P option is listed in the checked specifications. Its256MB figure is RAM. The409AS’s optional 128GB ISD and TPM must not be assumed on 409P.
Why does secure storage matter on other configurations?
Flash storage can improve storage access and removes mechanical disk components, but security depends on encryption, key protection, authentication, firmware and erasure. It does not increase rated PPM, and those storage options are not listed for 409P.
Can it staple, make booklets or punch holes?
No compatible attachment is listed for 409P. Plan external manual assembly for occasional packs, or compare a platform accepting the required finishing equipment.
Will a new machine mean fewer jams and longer support?
Unworn parts can help compared with heavily worn equipment, and a current platform may have a longer remaining support horizon. No fault reduction or fixed driver-support period is guaranteed.
What should I include in an enquiry?
Give your postcode, users, monthly mono volume, peak jobs, stock types, network setup, existing scanning and colour arrangements, finishing needs and preferred purchase, lease or rental option.
