scanner, with a wide range of multifunctional upgrade options
including network print, network scanning and fax, which all share

The Toshiba e-STUDIO450 comes with two 550-sheet paper
drawers and a 100-sheet bypass tray, there is the option of adding
either up to two additional 550-sheet drawers or a high capacity
2,500-sheet unit to take maximum paper input capacity to 3,700

A 100-sheet duplexing document feeder is an optional extra, as is a
second fax line and a choice of finishers offers stapling, hole punch
and saddle-stitch booklet production.
