    Correct Answer
    D. They can print up to 120 pages per minute
    Explanation
    Photocopying machines are capable of performing various functions such as mass replications, enlargement and reduction, and copying on both sides of the sheet of paper. However, the statement "They can print up to 120 pages per minute" suggests that photocopying machines have a printing capability, which is not a function typically associated with photocopying machines. Therefore, this statement does not align with the functions of photocopying machines, making it the correct answer.

    • D.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    C. An electronic duplicator that fuses a reproduced image to plain bond paper.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "an electronic duplicator that fuses a reproduced image to plain bond paper." This answer accurately describes the function of a photocopying machine, which is to duplicate an image and fuse it onto plain bond paper. The other options are incorrect because they do not fully capture the purpose or functionality of a photocopying machine.

It does not specifically refer to storing information in chronological order or organizing data based on their nature. Therefore, the correct answer is "Collecting and combining (texts, information, or sets of figures) in proper order."

    The statement suggests that a projector only allows organizations to display certain types of information such as budget plans, sales fluctuation, management decisions, and new product/development. However, this is not true as projectors can be used for a wide range of purposes including displaying presentations, videos, images, and any other type of content that can be projected onto a screen or surface.

    A. True
    Explanation
    A projector is a device that can be used to display images or videos on a larger screen or wall. It works by projecting light through a lens onto a surface, creating an enlarged version of the image. This allows audiences to view the content more easily, especially in situations where a smaller screen may not be sufficient. Therefore, the statement that a projector can be used to enlarge images onto a screen or wall for audiences to view is true.

It is known for its fast printing speed and ability to produce large quantities of prints in a short amount of time. This makes it ideal for tasks that require quick and efficient printing and copying, such as mass producing flyers, brochures, or newsletters.
