To understand e-Manager, one must first understand the evolution of the office printer. A decade ago, a printer was a passive device; it received commands and spat out paper. Today, an MFP is a server. Toshiba’s e-Manager is a web-based application platform that runs directly on the e-STUDIO controller. It acts as the primary interface for both the end-user standing at the device and the IT administrator sitting at their desk.
