Toshiba e-STUDIO 409AS shown. Pictured paper equipment may vary; your proposal confirms the supplied drawers and accessories.
The Toshiba e-STUDIO 409AS is an A4 mono multifunction printer with 40ppm printing, 39ppm copying, colour scanning and fax. Its 4.3-inch colour touchscreen, 2GB RAM, standard wireless and Trusted Platform Module make it worth considering when local controls and document-security setup matter alongside everyday output. A 50-sheet duplex feeder captures originals, while a standard 100-sheet bypass keeps another approved print stock ready. Available to buy, lease or rent from Camelott®, with UK-wide service and repair. The 128GB Intelligent Storage Device is optional in the checked UK specification.

Clearer Controls and Key Protection in a Compact Mono MFP
The 409AS is useful when a small team wants mono output and colour capture with more capable local controls and a properly assessed security platform. The 4.3-inch panel gives room for configured tasks, while TPM keeps encryption-key protection in dedicated hardware separate from document storage.
Standard wireless can help where a network socket is inconvenient. Optional applications and the optional 128GB ISD can support particular workflows, provided the equipment, licences and destinations are specified and demonstrated.
These benefits do not make the print engine faster than another 40ppm device. The main drawer still holds 250 sheets, output is 150 sheets and automatic duplex printing stops at approved 90gsm stock. Choose the controls, security and workflow functions because staff will use them; compare faster or larger platforms if queues and finishing are the real problem.
Pay for functions people use
Where the 409AS Helps the Working Day
Make repeat destinations easier to find
A4.3-inch colour touchscreen can help with named tasks and configured settings. Demonstrate the panel with the staff who use it; sensible setup matters as much as display size.
Protect cryptographic keys separately
TPM stores and protects key material in dedicated hardware. Review it alongside authentication, private print, firmware, network permissions and secure end-of-use procedures.
Include wireless in the base equipment discussion
WLAN is listed as standard, alongside wired networking and USB. Check signal, IT policy and the installation rather than assuming wireless is always the best connection.
Add applications for a defined destination
Optional apps can support connected workflows such as SharePoint. Confirm the exact connector, tenant authentication, licence, firmware and document flow before including it in the proposal.
Specify the optional ISD separately from RAM
The 128GB ISD is optional; 2GB RAM is standard. Flash can improve storage access and removes mechanical disk parts, but does not increase PPM or automatically make data safer than an encrypted HDD.
Address wear and current compatibility together
Unworn parts can help compared with ageing, heavily used equipment. A current platform may have a longer remaining support horizon. Paper, maintenance and software still matter; neither fewer jams nor a fixed support period is guaranteed.

1. Duplex document scanning
Colour Capture for a Mainly Black-and-White Office
A 50-sheet duplex original feeder handles colour and mono records while the print engine remains mono.
Why this is useful
Accounts records, coloured annotations and signed forms can remain electronic in colour even when routine copies and reports are black and white. Duplex capture helps with two-sided originals.
What to weigh up
92ipm is mono and counts sides, not sheets. File processing, optional applications, resolution and upload add time. Toshiba describes dual-scan feeding in regional 409AS documentation; confirm the supplied feeder and demonstrate your actual batches. Do not import US Letter-size speed figures into an A4 comparison.
2. Controls, storage and security
A4.3-Inch Panel with TPM and Optional 128GB ISD
The 409AS combines a colour touchscreen and 2GB RAM with dedicated security hardware.
Why this is useful
A clearly arranged panel can help users repeat the right task. TPM protects key material separately from document storage. Specify the ISD only where a supported workflow needs it.
What to weigh up
TPM is not a guarantee of complete compliance or immunity from attacks. Optional ISD is not a standard 256GB secure SSD or additional RAM. Confirm authentication, encryption, licences and erasure. Scan preview is documented with an HDD requirement; do not assume the ISD automatically provides it.
3. Print and copy engine
40ppm Mono Printing with Up to 1200dpi Print Resolution
The 409AS prints and copies in black and white; colour scanning is a separate capability.
Why this is useful
Detailed text and line work can benefit from suitable high-resolution print settings. For short tasks, ready-state response can matter more than a small PPM difference. Compare your actual files and quality settings.
What to weigh up
1200dpi is a print figure, not the copy resolution or every scan path. A theoretical 100-page engine run is 2 minutes 30 seconds before first-page and processing effects. Sleep recovery is approximately 9 seconds, not cold-start warm-up.
4. Bypass and media
Keep Another Approved Print Stock Ready
The standard 100-sheet bypass works alongside a 250-sheet main drawer.
Why this is useful
A regularly used approved letterhead or second paper can stay available without repeatedly emptying the drawer. This is most useful when staff really alternate stocks.
What to weigh up
Special media may need smaller loads and specific settings. The 217gsm feed rating does not apply to original feeding or automatic duplex. Check size, coating, weight and the exact path before ordering paper.
5. Paper supply and duplex
350-Sheet Base Input, with an Optional 550-Sheet Drawer
The base 250-sheet drawer and 100-sheet bypass give 350-sheet total input. Compatible expansion raises this to 900.
Why this is useful
Extra supply can reduce loading or keep another approved stock ready. Specify it around real interruptions and paper changes rather than automatically ordering the maximum.
What to weigh up
The main drawer will not take a full ream. The 150-sheet output tray remains a separate limit. Some comparable MFPs offer faster engines or more optional capacity; larger input alone does not make every run unattended.
6. Output and finishing
150-Sheet Output for Loose-Page Collection
No inline stapler, physical booklet maker or automatic punch is listed for the 409AS.
Why this is useful
Short reports and correspondence can be collected locally, with occasional packs assembled by hand. Software booklet layouts can arrange page order when the remaining folding and assembly are planned.
What to weigh up
The listed create-booklet copy function does not install a folding or stapling mechanism. For regular booklets, stapled sets or punched binder packs, compare a platform accepting the required physical finishing attachments.
Photocopier terminology, explained by Bean
Confused by Photocopier Jargon?
Bean explains the terms without the technical waffle. Here is what the specifications mean for your working day.
- PPM — Pages Per Minute
- Rated engine output. The 409AS prints A4 mono at 40ppm and copies at 39ppm. The 4.3-inch screen and TPM do not increase that speed; files, first-page time and paper affect real jobs.
- IPM — Images Per Minute
- Counts scanned sides. A double-sided original is two images. The 409AS duplex ratings are 40ipm colour and 92ipm mono at 150dpi; processing and upload add time.
- GSM — Grams Per Square Metre
- Paper weight per square metre. Main drawer 60–120gsm; bypass 60–217gsm; automatic duplex print 60–90gsm. Original-feeder limits are separate.
- MFP — Multifunction Printer
- Combines office functions. The 409AS prints and copies in mono, scans in colour or mono, and includes fax. Colour capture does not mean colour printed output.
- ADF — Automatic Document Feeder
- Feeds originals into the scanner. The 409AS holds 50 sheets of approved A 6–A4/custom originals from 60–90gsm. Blank-paper input is separate.
- DSDF — Dual Scan Document Feeder
- Captures both sides of an original in one pass. Toshiba describes dual-scan feeding for the 409AS in regional manufacturer documentation. Confirm the supplied UK feeder and test your complete document workflow.
- RADF — Reversing Automatic Document Feeder
- Scans one side, then turns the original to capture the other. It differs from dual-scan capture; compare actual hardware and finished files rather than initials alone.
- DADF — Duplexing Automatic Document Feeder
- An original feeder handling both sides. Check how it captures them, supported originals and the test resolution. Duplex scan IPM is separate from two-sided print speed.
- Duplex — Automatic Double-sided Printing
- Prints both sides without manual reloading. The 409AS supports approved A4/custom 60–90gsm stock. Duplex original scanning has separate limits and settings.
- DPI — Dots Per Inch
- A resolution measure. Printing reaches 1200 ×1200dpi; copying 600 ×600dpi. Colour scanning reaches 600 ×600dpi, while 1200 ×1200dpi mono scan is conditional on platen and driver use.
- CPC — Cost Per Copy
- A service-agreement charge per printed or copied page. Output here is mono. Check minimum billing, duplex counting, consumables, service and exclusions; confirm any scan or software charges separately.
- FCOT — First Copy Out Time
- The first copy under stated conditions. The 409AS lists approximately 5.9 seconds, with a separate approximately 5.9-second first-print rating. Sleep and processing affect the actual wait.
- A4 / A3 — Paper Sizes
- A4 is 210 ×297mm; A3 is 297 ×420mm. The 409AS is an A4 platform. Larger originals, sheets or folded A4 booklets need suitable larger-format equipment.
- Booklet Maker — Folded, Stapled Booklets
- A physical finisher folds sheets and staples along the fold. None is listed here. The 409AS’s create-booklet layout function does not fold or staple the printed pages.
- Hole Punch — Pages Ready for Binders
- An attachment punches printed sheets for folders. No automatic punch is listed for the 409AS. Frequent binder packs can justify equipment accepting one.
- Corner Staple — Keep Each Set Together
- A staple near the corner holds a report together. No stapling attachment is listed for the 409AS; occasional packs need external manual assembly.

Where the 409AS Can Be the More Useful Choice
Use dedicated key protection as part of the design
TPM separates key protection from ordinary document storage. It is useful only within a configured system of users, firmware, network permissions, private print and secure disposal.
A4.3-inch panel can make repeat tasks clearer
Some comparable compact mono MFPs have smaller screens. Demonstrate named destinations and job controls; screen size alone does not prove a faster overall workflow.
Standard wireless can simplify the equipment list
WLAN is included in the checked UK specification. Some comparable wired models require additional wireless hardware or have no listed wireless option. Confirm the actual installation and security policy.
Capture colour while keeping printed output mono
Annotated records and coloured originals can remain electronic in colour. Confirm whether occasional colour printing is covered elsewhere before choosing a mono engine.
Faster alternatives exist in this class
Comparable A4 mono MFPs advertise 48ppm and greater optional input. The 409AS remains 40ppm. If queues are the problem, compare peak jobs and capacity rather than choosing on screen or RAM alone.
Match the resolution and destination
The 409AS’s 40/92ipm duplex figures use 150dpi. Other machines publish figures under their own conditions. Compare finished files at required quality; no unmatched speed multiplier is claimed.
Useful base feeding with clear output limits
The 250-sheet drawer plus 100-sheet bypass keeps two approved stocks ready. The 150-sheet output and absence of inline finishing still matter for longer assembled packs.
Buy the workflow rather than the optional headline
Specify ISD, apps, licences, wireless deployment, trays, service and total payable. A storage capacity or cloud-ready description is not proof every function is included.
Match the functions to the work
The 409AS Is a Good Fit When...

Questions worth asking
Toshiba 409AS Questions Answered
Does the 409AS print in colour?
No. Printing and copying are mono. It scans colour and mono originals and includes fax.
Can I buy, lease or rent it?
Ask Camelott® for available equipment and configuration. We confirm condition, availability, finance approval where applicable, delivery, support and agreed terms.
Do you offer UK-wide service and repair?
Yes. Provide postcode, model, meter reading, error codes and symptoms so we can confirm coverage, charges and support.
What makes this configuration useful?
The 4.3-inch touchscreen, TPM,2GB RAM and standard wireless can matter for local tasks and an assessed security setup. The print engine remains 40ppm and copying 39ppm.
What does TPM do?
It protects cryptographic key material in dedicated hardware separate from ordinary data storage. Combine it with authentication, firmware, network controls, encryption and secure disposal;it does not guarantee complete security or compliance.
Is 128GB storage standard?
No. The checked UK specification lists a 128GB ISD as optional.2GB RAM is standard and separate. Confirm the installed equipment and any dependent function.
Is the ISD a secure SSD that makes printing faster?
Do not label it a standard 256GB secure SSD. Flash can improve storage access and removes mechanical drive parts, but it does not increase rated PPM. Security depends on encryption, key protection, access and erasure rather than flash alone.
Can it connect to SharePoint or other cloud services?
Toshiba describes optional apps for connected workflows such as SharePoint. Confirm exact connector availability, licence, firmware, tenant authentication, permissions and the demonstrated document flow.
Does the optional ISD include scan preview or OCR?
Do not assume it. Scan preview is documented with a hard-drive requirement, and searchable-file or connected functions need their own checks. Agree the exact hardware, software and licences.
How fast does it scan?
At 150dpi the published ratings are 20ipm colour/46ipm mono simplex and 40ipm colour/92ipm mono duplex. IPM counts sides;file creation, applications and upload add time.
Does it scan both sides?
Yes, the 50-sheet feeder supports duplex originals. Toshiba also describes dual-scan feeding in regional 409AS documentation. Confirm the supplied assembly and demonstrate your actual originals and destinations.
Is wireless included?
WLAN is listed as standard alongside Gigabit Ethernet and USB2.0 in the checked UK and European specifications. Confirm the installation and network policy.
How much paper is standard?
A 250-sheet drawer and 100-sheet bypass give 350-sheet base input. A compatible optional 550-sheet drawer raises the maximum to 900. Output holds 150 sheets.
Can it automatically duplex heavier paper?
Automatic duplex print supports approved A4/custom 60–90gsm. Main drawer 60–120gsm and bypass 60–217gsm are separate feed ratings.
Can it make stapled booklets or punch holes?
No physical booklet maker, stapler or automatic punch is listed. The create-booklet function arranges pages;staff still need suitable folding and assembly equipment.
Will a new machine reduce jams and extend driver support?
Unworn components can help compared with heavily worn equipment, and a current platform may have a longer remaining support horizon. No fixed fault reduction or support period is guaranteed;paper, maintenance and compatibility still matter.
