    • Printer

    • Fax

    • Mobile Phone

    Correct Answer
    A. Fax
    Explanation
    To send an exact copy of a document, you would use a fax machine. A fax machine scans the document and converts it into a digital image, which is then transmitted over telephone lines to the recipient's fax machine. The recipient's fax machine receives the digital image and prints out an exact copy of the document. This method ensures that the recipient receives an identical copy of the original document, making faxing a suitable option for transmitting important documents or contracts.

    A. Jams
    Explanation
    Loading paper into the photocopier correctly is important to prevent jams. If the paper is not loaded properly, it can get stuck or misaligned, causing the photocopier to jam. This can disrupt workflow and waste time as the jam needs to be cleared before copying can resume. Therefore, ensuring that the paper is loaded correctly helps to prevent jams and maintain smooth operation of the photocopier.
