What is a MFP?
A multifunction printer (MFP) is an all-in-one device that combines the capabilities of a printer, copier, scanner, and often a fax machine into a single, integrated system. Designed to improve efficiency and reduce equipment costs, multifunction printers have become a popular choice for businesses of all sizes, from small offices to large corporate environments.
By consolidating multiple office functions into one device, an MFP helps organisations save space, simplify document management, and lower maintenance expenses. Modern multifunction printers also offer advanced features such as wireless connectivity, mobile printing, cloud integration, secure document handling, and workflow automation, enabling businesses to work more efficiently in both traditional and hybrid work environments.
For organisations looking to streamline operations while reducing costs, a multifunction printer provides a practical and cost-effective solution that supports productivity, collaboration, and day-to-day document management.
How do I set Windows 10 to run "Scan To Shared Folder"?
The Scan to Shared Folder feature allows your Toshiba multifunction printer to send scanned documents directly to a designated folder on a computer or network location. During this process, the device logs into the destination computer using the configured credentials and securely transfers the scanned file.
Important: When configuring Scan to Shared Folder, ensure that the destination computer name contains only standard English letters and numbers (single-byte characters). If the computer name includes special or double-byte characters, the scan operation may fail and generate an error.
If you experience difficulties setting up Scan to Shared Folder, encounter authentication errors, or are unable to complete the configuration successfully, the Toshiba Tech SA team is available to assist. Our technicians can help troubleshoot connectivity issues, verify network settings, and ensure your device is configured correctly for reliable scanning.
Contact Toshiba Tech SA for professional support and expert assistance with your Toshiba multifunction printer.
I want to run "Scan To Shared Folder" in Windows, how does it work?
With “Scan To Shared Folder”, you can send/save images scanned by the device to a “shared folder” on a networked computer. Caution Use a computer with a name comprising one-byte characters as the destination to send/save scanned data.
How do I set "Scan To E-mail"?
To use “Scan To E-mail”, you need to register the setting information of the e-mail you wish to use with this device in advance. The e-mail address or mail server to be used as the destination of the device is registered, but the setup may vary with your e-mail service provider… Give Toshiba Tech SA a call to assist you if need be.
What do I need to look at when looking for a printer or copier for my office?
Selecting the right multifunction printer (MFP) starts with understanding how your business operates and how the device will support your team’s day-to-day activities. While printing and copying remain important functions, modern multifunction printers can also help organisations improve document management, automate workflows, reduce paper usage, enable remote working, and integrate with cloud-based business applications.
Before choosing a device, consider your current and future requirements. How many documents do you print, copy, scan, email, or fax each day? How many employees will share the device? Do you require colour printing, wireless connectivity, mobile printing capabilities, or integration with cloud storage platforms such as Microsoft 365, Google Drive, or Dropbox? Understanding these requirements will help ensure you invest in a solution that delivers both efficiency and long-term value.
Today’s multifunction printers offer a wide range of features designed to improve productivity, enhance document security, and streamline business processes. Choosing the right model can reduce operating costs, improve collaboration, and support your organisation as it grows.
If you’re unsure which solution best suits your needs, speak to one of the Toshiba Tech SA Print Technology Specialists. Our experienced team can assess your requirements, recommend the most suitable device, and help you implement a solution that exceeds your expectations while supporting your business objectives.
How will I know the total cost of ownership of my printer?
When comparing multifunction printers, it is important to look beyond the initial purchase price. While the upfront cost of the hardware may seem attractive, the true value of a device is determined by its Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) over its lifespan. This includes factors such as consumables, maintenance, service agreements, energy usage, productivity, and long-term reliability.
Many businesses are initially drawn to lower-cost inkjet devices, but ongoing expenses such as ink replacements, maintenance requirements, and reduced efficiency can result in higher operating costs over time. In contrast, business-grade laser multifunction printers are often designed to deliver lower running costs, higher print volumes, faster performance, and greater durability, making them a more cost-effective solution for many organisations.
Ease of use is another important consideration. Devices that are difficult to operate, frequently experience downtime, or lack essential business features can negatively impact productivity and increase overall operating expenses. Choosing a multifunction printer that is reliable, user-friendly, and equipped with the functionality your business requires can help reduce disruptions and improve workflow efficiency.
A well-selected multifunction printer can become a valuable business asset, helping organisations manage printing and document-related costs more effectively while supporting digital transformation initiatives. Features such as secure printing, document management, cloud connectivity, workflow automation, and mobile access can further improve operational efficiency and enhance collaboration across the organisation.
Designed specifically for business environments, modern multifunction printers provide the performance, scalability, and low running costs required by today’s organisations. By carefully evaluating both current and future requirements, businesses can invest in a solution that delivers long-term value, improved productivity, and a stronger return on investment.
What should I consider when choosing the right vendor?
When investing in a multifunction printer, it’s important to assess more than just the device itself. The quality of the vendor’s support, service capabilities, and technology management tools can have a significant impact on the long-term success of your investment. A reliable support partner can help maximise device uptime, improve productivity, and reduce the risk of costly disruptions.
Look for a provider that offers advanced device and fleet management solutions capable of monitoring performance, identifying potential issues before they cause downtime, and simplifying the management of multiple devices across your organisation. These tools can help optimise efficiency, improve reliability, and provide greater visibility into printing and document workflows.
Many modern multifunction printers can do much more than manage documents. When integrated with Managed Print Services (MPS) and document management solutions, they can become a central hub for business communications and workflow automation. Features such as remote device management, automated supply monitoring, secure document processing, cloud connectivity, and help desk integration can streamline operations and reduce administrative overhead.
Before making a decision, carefully evaluate the vendor’s service offering, response times, technical expertise, and customer support reputation. Request client references, review service level agreements (SLAs), and ensure that the support being offered extends well beyond the initial sale. Long-term after-sales support is often just as important as the equipment itself.
It is also worth confirming whether additional warranty options, preventative maintenance programmes, and loan machines are available. Access to replacement devices during repairs or unexpected downtime can help maintain business continuity and minimise operational disruption.
By partnering with a trusted technology provider that offers reliable support, proactive service, and comprehensive management solutions, businesses can maximise the value of their multifunction printer investment while ensuring their office remains productive, efficient, and future-ready.
I am getting a "Toner Near Empty" message. Should I replace the toner cartridge?
It is important NOT to replace the toner at this point.
If your Toshiba multifunction printer displays a “Toner Near Empty” message, there is no immediate need to replace the toner cartridge. This notification is designed to inform users that the toner level has reached approximately 20% remaining capacity, providing sufficient time to arrange a replacement cartridge before the toner is fully depleted.
Replacing a toner cartridge too early can lead to unnecessary consumable costs and may trigger toner monitoring or alert discrepancies within the device. For optimal performance and accurate toner tracking, it is recommended that the cartridge only be replaced once the machine indicates that the toner has reached the end of its usable life.
The “Toner Near Empty” alert serves as a proactive reminder, allowing businesses to order replacement toner and avoid unexpected interruptions to printing operations. Toshiba devices can also integrate with monitoring solutions such as ECC Cloud, which help track toner levels, automate supply notifications, and simplify consumables management across your print environment.
If you are unsure whether a toner cartridge requires replacement or need assistance with toner monitoring and ordering, contact Toshiba Tech SA for professional support and guidance.
Can I swap toner cartridges between same model devices?
It is NOT recommended to swap empty or near-empty toner cartridges between devices.
Doing so can result in alert failures, as well as disrupt signals used for automatic toner ordering process in applications such as ECC CLOUD

Why is there lines appearing on copies or scans when I use the Document Feeder?
If you notice a straight line appearing on copies or scanned documents when using the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF), the most common cause is a dirty slit glass.
When the document feeder scans a page, it uses a narrow strip of glass located next to the main scanner glass. Even a small speck of dust, correction fluid, ink, or debris on this surface can create a continuous line on every page scanned through the feeder.
How to Fix the Issue
- Lift the document feeder lid.
- Locate the two glass surfaces:
- The large scanner glass used for flatbed scanning.
- The small, narrow strip of glass, known as the slit glass.
- Carefully clean the slit glass using a soft, lint-free cloth.
- Remove any dirt, dust, toner residue, correction fluid, or adhesive marks.
- Close the document feeder and perform another scan or copy test.
Important Note
If lines only appear when using the document feeder but not when placing documents directly on the large scanner glass, the slit glass is almost always the source of the problem.
Regular cleaning of the slit glass can help maintain scan quality and prevent recurring issues, particularly in busy office environments where the document feeder is used frequently.
If cleaning the slit glass does not resolve the issue, contact Toshiba Tech SA for further troubleshooting and support.
