    Explanation
    In a laser printer, the stage at which an uniform negative charge is applied to the drum is called conditioning. During the conditioning stage, a corona wire or a magnetic roller applies a uniform negative charge to the surface of the drum. This charge helps to prepare the drum for the writing stage, where a laser beam selectively removes the charge to create an electrostatic image. The conditioned drum then moves on to the writing stage where the image is formed.

    Which of the following are good backup policies when using magnetic tape ?CHOOSE TWO

    • A.

      Use a tape rotation sheme

    • B.

      To cut cost, use as few tapes as possible

    • C.

      Store all backup tapes near the computer

    • D.

      Use data verification when performing backups

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Use a tape rotation sheme
    D. Use data verification when performing backups
    Explanation
    Good backup policies when using magnetic tape include using a tape rotation scheme and using data verification when performing backups. A tape rotation scheme involves using multiple tapes in a rotation schedule, where each tape is used for a specific period of time before being replaced with a fresh tape. This ensures that older backups are retained for a certain period of time, providing a history of data backups. Using data verification helps to ensure that the backed up data is accurate and can be successfully restored if needed. Storing all backup tapes near the computer and using as few tapes as possible are not considered good backup policies as they can increase the risk of data loss or damage.

    Which of the following causes a mapped drive to disappear from a system when it's shut down and restarted?

    • A.

      The name of the mapped drive has been changed.

    • B.

      The Reconnect at Startup option is not checked in the mapped drive's Properties.

    • C.

      The path to the mapped drive has changed.

    • D.

      No one is logged in to the host computer for the mapped drive.

    Correct Answer
    B. The Reconnect at Startup option is not checked in the mapped drive's Properties.
    Explanation
    The Reconnect at Logon option must be selected in the Map Network Drive page for the drive mapping to become a permanent part of the system. If the option is not selected when the user logs off, the mapped drive information disappears and needs to be remapped for any further use. If a red X appears on the icon of a properly mapped drive, this indicates that the drive is no longer available. Its host computer may be turned off, the drive may have been removed, or it may no longer be on the same path. If the drive was mapped to a particular folder, and the folder name has been changed, the red X also appears.

    Explanation
    RET in a laser printer stands for Raster Enhancement Technology. It is a process that involves inserting smaller dots among the characters, which helps in smoothing out the curves. This technique improves the overall quality and resolution of the printed output by enhancing the appearance and clarity of the text and graphics. By adding these smaller dots, the printer can achieve a more precise and detailed representation of the digital information, resulting in a higher quality printout.
