Lexmark T520 and T520N

Lexmark T520 and T520n are A4 mono laser printers intended for office use but without the stress on speed that was a feature of the T620. Print speed is 20 pages per minute.

The engine is known as the 4520-001 in the T520 and as 4520-210 in the T522

These printers were launched in June 2001, at the same time as the T620. They don't seem so distinct as to merit their own number series but that's a decision Lexmark made long ago.
