Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Canon imageFORCE 520F is actually for

Most equipment pages just tell you what a device does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We offer equipment for every business need, but the right machine depends on your specific workflow.

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You run a small office of 10–25 people and need a single‑machine that can handle close to 5,000 pages a month.
  • You print mostly documents and need cheap B/W output with fast 55 ppm speed.
  • You value a 10.1‑inch color touch panel for quick access to settings and status.
  • You want an expandability option—adding the 3,200‑sheet feeder keeps print loops short.
  • You work in an environment that supports Ethernet or optional Wi‑Fi for remote printing.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 4,000–6,000 pages a month—speed and ADF capacity keep the line moving.
  • You need a monochrome MFP but accept that color output is limited or unavailable.
  • You’re fine with the single‑band Wi‑Fi when wired cannot be used, though speed may drop.
  • You’re replacing an older Canon or similar monochrome model and appreciate the same driver family.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 1,000 pages a month—3,200‑sheet feeder and driver cost outweighs the benefits.
  • You need large‑format printing beyond legal size, e.g., tabloid 11×17—this unit tops out legal.
  • You require advanced finishing such as stapling, binding or envelope feeders—those are not available.
  • You rely exclusively on color printing; this is strictly monochrome.
  • You need a fast duplex scanner—scanning is only via the 100‑sheet ADF, not a flatbed.
