ENVIRONMENT
Toshiba have always valued the importance of using recycled materials whenever
possible and to incorporate features to reduce power consumption and noise
levels for the benefit of the working environment. Our e-STUDIO232/282 reflect
these commitments via careful design and technology, and also by complying with
the Energy Star for their energy saving design initiatives. We have further restricted
the use of certain hazardous substances as stipulated in the international RoHS
Directive. Also, Toshiba has a long tradition of promoting the use of recyclable
plastic, lead- and halogen-free materials on Toshiba’s printed circuit boards, as
well as chromium (VI) free steel plates and screws.
Advanced Fusing System
Toshiba’s innovative and well-proven fusing technology has been further
enhanced in the e-STUDIO232/282. The Twin Lamp Fusing system consists of
separated lamps, concentrated at the centre and edges, where only the necessary
area heats up, providing a more efficient utilisation of energy. In addition, the
thin heat roller plates – about half the thickness than previously – enables better
heat distribution and toner is fused to the paper more evenly as a result. Likewise,
better utilisation of the low temperature fusing toner has resulted in significant
reductions in temperature compared with the previous model. Together these
improvements have reduced warm-up time to just 25 seconds.
Many Energy Saving Modes
Introducing power management techniques into our daily work is all about
simplicity, automation and the right of solutions. The e-STUDIO232/282
incorporate these energy saving functions; Auto Energy Saver, Auto Sleep
Mode, and Weekly Timer for minimising power consumption and reducing
electricity costs.
Low Noise (Quiet)
Studies have shown that noise is the number one disturbance in an open office
environment, and Toshiba are constantly finding new ways to reduce noise levels.
With the release of the e-STUDIO232/282, we have redesigned the overall paper
feeding mechanism and also introduced a new low noise RADF unit, resulting
in substantial reductions in noise levels during machine operation.
ISO 14001 Environmental Management Standard
Toshiba maintain high environmental standards in everyday operations, and
to date all of our manufacturing facilities have been awarded the ISO 14001
certification in recognition for their high environmental management system
standards that minimise the ecological impact of business activities.
