Which two pieces of software are included with most printers and are installed by the user ?(choose two)
-
Printer patches
-
BIOS
-
Configuration software
-
Word processor
-
Printer driver
Correct Answer(s)
A. Configuration software
A. Printer driverExplanation
Most printers come with two pieces of software that are installed by the user: configuration software and printer driver. Configuration software allows the user to customize settings and preferences for the printer, such as paper size and print quality. Printer driver, on the other hand, is a software program that enables the computer to communicate with the printer and send print jobs. It converts the data into a format that the printer can understand and ensures that the print job is executed correctly.Rate this question:

Which windows component allows the windows operating system to output graphics to a computer screen or print device?
-
GDI
-
GUI
-
MDL
-
WPL
-
WPS
Correct Answer
A. GDIExplanation
GDI, or Graphics Device Interface, is a Windows component that allows the operating system to output graphics to a computer screen or print device. It provides a set of functions and tools for drawing and manipulating graphical elements, such as lines, shapes, and images. GDI acts as an intermediary between the application and the hardware, ensuring that the graphics are rendered correctly on the screen or printed on a device. It is an essential component for displaying graphics and images in the Windows operating system.Rate this question:

Which two methods are often used to connect a lower cost printer to window XP network ?
-
Use separate print server
-
Download a network compliant driver
-
Update to networked computer and share the printer
-
Connect to a networked computer and share the computer
-
Install a NIC to the printer
Correct Answer(s)
A. Use separate print server
A. Connect to a networked computer and share the computerExplanation
To connect a lower cost printer to a Windows XP network, two common methods are often used. One method is to use a separate print server, which acts as an intermediary device between the printer and the network. This allows multiple computers on the network to access the printer. Another method is to connect the printer to a networked computer and share the printer through that computer. This enables other computers on the network to print to the shared printer through the networked computer. Both of these methods provide cost-effective solutions for connecting the printer to the network.Rate this question:

-
Start >control panel>printer and faxes>add a printer
Correct Answer
A. Start >control panel>printer and faxes>add a printerExplanation
The correct answer is "start >control panel>printer and faxes>add a printer." This path will allow a user to add a printer in Windows XP. The "start" button is clicked to open the start menu, then "control panel" is selected to access the control panel settings.

What can a technician do to reduce the time as a user must wait when large print jobs are sent to the printer ?
-
Change to a networking operating system
-
Upgrade the operating system
-
Add more RAM to the printer
-
Change to a newer version of firmware
-
Reinstall the print driver
Correct Answer
A. Add more RAM to the printerExplanation
Adding more RAM to the printer can help reduce the time a user must wait when large print jobs are sent to the printer. This is because more RAM allows the printer to store and process a larger amount of data, enabling it to handle larger print jobs more efficiently. With more RAM, the printer can quickly process and print large documents, reducing the waiting time for the user.Rate this question:

Which two issues should be considered when purchasing RAM for a new printer ?(choose two)
-
Physical type of memory
-
BIOS version
-
Driver compatibility
-
Number of memory slots available
-
Firmware version
Correct Answer(s)
A. Physical type of memory
A. Number of memory slots availableExplanation
When purchasing RAM for a new printer, two important factors to consider are the physical type of memory and the number of memory slots available. The physical type of memory refers to the specific type of RAM module that is compatible with the printer. It is crucial to ensure that the RAM module you purchase is the correct physical type to ensure compatibility. Additionally, considering the number of memory slots available is important as it determines the maximum amount of RAM that can be installed in the printer. Having more memory slots allows for greater expandability and potential future upgrades.Rate this question:

Which scanner option considerably affects the size of output file
-
Color inversion
-
Source file format
-
Resolution settings
-
Sharpening
-
Brightening or darkening
Correct Answer
A. Resolution settingsExplanation
The resolution settings of a scanner significantly affect the size of the output file. Higher resolution settings result in more detailed and higher quality scans, but they also increase the file size. Lower resolution settings produce smaller file sizes but with less detail. Therefore, adjusting the resolution settings can have a considerable impact on the size of the output file.Rate this question:

Users working in humid environments notice that documents printed by a laser printer are of poor quality.It is discovered that the printer is unable to attach toner to the paper. What is the most likely cause of the problem ?
-
The environment damage the drum
-
The laser printer cartridge was refilled
-
The incorrect type of paper was used
-
The toner is damp from the humidity and is unable to develop
-
The paper absorbed moisture from the air and is damp
Correct Answer
A. The paper absorbed moisture from the air and is dampExplanation
The most likely cause of the problem is that the paper absorbed moisture from the air and is damp. In humid environments, the air contains a high level of moisture, which can be absorbed by the paper. When the paper is damp, it can affect the ability of the toner to attach to the paper, resulting in poor print quality. This is a common issue in humid environments and can be resolved by using moisture-resistant paper or storing the paper in a dry environment.Rate this question:

Which type of port is used for low speed dot matrix printers?
-
Ethernet
-
Firewire
-
SCSI
-
Serial
-
USB
Correct Answer
A. SerialExplanation
Low speed dot matrix printers typically use a serial port for connectivity. Serial ports provide a simple and reliable connection for these types of printers. Ethernet, firewire, SCSI, and USB ports are not commonly used for low speed dot matrix printers. Ethernet ports are typically used for network connections, firewire ports are commonly used for high-speed data transfer, SCSI ports are used for connecting high-performance peripherals, and USB ports are used for connecting a wide variety of devices including printers, but not specifically low speed dot matrix printers.Rate this question:
