Manual of product C522
Editorial note
The Lexmark C522 printer stands out for its exceptional printing performance, offering a maximum resolution of 1200 x 1200 DPI and a printing speed of 20 pages per minute, both in black and color. These features make it an ideal choice for demanding work environments where quality and speed are essential. Additionally, the laser printing technology ensures precise and durable results while benefiting from an economical printing function that helps reduce printing costs. However, some drawbacks deserve to be highlighted. The lack of duplex printing can lead to higher paper consumption, which is not optimal for environmentally conscious users. Furthermore, the lack of Wi-Fi connectivity limits usage flexibility, forcing users to connect via an Ethernet cable. The weight of the printer, over 25 kg, can also make it difficult to move in offices where space is limited. In terms of user experience, although the LCD screen is functional, it is not touch-sensitive, which can make some interactions less intuitive. The value for money is appreciable, but the available documentation remains limited, which may not meet all user needs. In summary, the Lexmark C522 is a solid choice for those looking for a high-performance printer, although it has some shortcomings in terms of modern features.Score details
