Lexmark T620 and T620n

The Lexmark T620 and T620n are A4 monochrome laser printers aimed at "workgroup" office use. The T620n differs in having an Ethernet print server built in and a larger 32MB base memory.

The T620 aims to deliver 30 pages per minute; the T622 is closely related and uses a faster processor and more RAM to provide 40ppm.

These machines were introduced in June 2001. Both machines are a second generation of the T610 series using a different toner and fuser design to help speed things up. The engine number is still 4069. For some reason Lexmark dropped the "Optra" name.

The T520 (20 page per minute) and T522 (25ppm) also introduced in June 2001 are similar but essentially cheaper. They have smaller cartridges at a lower price for smaller workgroups. Engine number is 4520

The T620 machine was also available as a multifunction printer / copier as the X620e; It came with a Lexmark 3100 or 3200 scanner on top.

Model Names and Part Numbers

For research purposes the US and Canadian part numbers are given; the UK and EU numbers are not currently known.

  • T620 4069-520 20T3600 20T3601
  • T620n 4069-52n 20T3650 20T3651

  • T620dn: 4069-52n 20T3750 20T3751

The T620 was also available in the US equipped for main use as a label printer.

  • T620 for label applications:20T3639
  • T620(n) for label applications:20T3689
  • T622 4069-722
  • T622n 4069-72n

Although it's an old design the T620 / T622 performance isn't greatly surpassed by more recent printers so there are a lot of these machines in use.

The Lexmark T620 engine also appears as the IBM Infoprint 1130 and the Lexmark T622 as the IBM Inforprint 1140.

Control:

LCD Display and simple buttons.

Duty Cycle:

150,000 pages per month

Up to 30 pages per minute.

The printer has a fairly powerful 300MHz processor and base models have 16MB of RAM. The printer will print quickly using built-in fonts. High definition bitmapped graphics could slow the printer down in which case more memory should help. There is a trade off between 30 pages per minute at 300, 600 and 1200 image quality. The printer is slower at true 1200 dpi.

Scanner Abilities:

The T620 and T622 appeared with a integral scanner as a multifunction machines X620e

Consumables:

These printers use an all-in-one print cartridge making basic problem solving easy for users. The cartridge holds toner, developer and photoconductive drum in one unit. The pre-charge roller is separate, as is the transfer roller. At intervals of around 300,000 pages the printer will request a new fuser. Both fusers and maintenance kits that include the rollers are available.

Lexmark provide regular cartridges with a 10,000 page yield at 5% cover and high yield cartridges lasting for 30,000 pages. There is also a special cartridge for label applications.

Fuser:

Laser printer fusers adhere toner to the page using a combination of pressure and heat. Fusers report that they are exhausted when the non-stick surface wears out after 300,000 pages. The fuser may fail earlier with recycled print cartridges because of inapropriate toner. Media like vinyl's, transparencies and labels can also cause problems.

Maintenance Kit:

The LCD control panels will display the message "80 Scheduled Maintenance" after the T620 has printed 300,000 pages. To maintain print quality Lexmark suggest replacing the fuser, transfer roller and other parts in the kit. It is not vital to replace the parts - no harm will be done by continuing. However if the printer is suffering from marks on the page, dirty page margins or misfeeds fitting the maintenance kit and giving the printer a good general clean is recommended. To clear the message the maintenance count must be reset to zero.

Whats-in-the-box:

Its an old design no longer offered new. Brokers and refurbisher are likely to offer the printer as-is or complete with a recycled toner. The user manual can be found on the Internet. Windows and Linux systems come with drivers built in.

Warranty:

Originally provided with 1 year LexExpress Warranty. These printers are sufficiently old that they are unlikely to be covered by any warranty now.

Service:

We offer repair in North East England. We are researching service and repair options for these printers.


Options:

The printers are old and whilst they are still widely used optional parts such as trays and paper stackers are no longer likely to be available new. (Memory probably is).
