At what stage of a laser printer an uniform negative charge is applied to the Drum.
Correct Answer
C. Conditioning
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
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.

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.
