  • 3. 

    The printer shows the hex number 1F in the hex dump.  This is the same as:             

    • A.

      31

    • B.

      16

    • C.

      10

    • D.

      8

    Correct Answer
    A. 31
    Explanation
    To do a simple conversion you would first convert to binary. In other words 1 = 0001 and F = 1111. Meaning the binary numbers is 00011111. Converting binary to decimal would mean: 2^0+2^1+2^2+2^3+2^4 = 31

  • 4. 

    Why would a thermal transfer printer be chosen over a direct one?  

    • A.

      It is cheaper to print a label

    • B.

      It can print on more types of materials

    When measuring friction for the ribbon rollers it is good practice to:

    • A.

      Pull the gauge at an angle towards you

    • B.

      Pull the gauge very quickly

    • C.

      Pull the gauge at even speed

      Pull in parallel with the ground

    Correct Answer
    C. Pull the gauge at even speed
    Explanation
    Typically the gauge should be held perpendicular to the printer and pulled straight up. Pulling the gauge at a slight angle away from the printer will cause the gauge to give a number that is (albeit slightly) not accurate.
