Question 1

Where would you go in Windows to enable printer sharing?

Image A. Network Connections

Image B. Network and Sharing Center

Image C. The printer’s OSD

Image D. Bonjour

Answer 1

B. The Network and Sharing Center in Windows is where printer sharing is enabled. Network Connections is the window that shows the Ethernet and Wi-Fi connections a PC has to the network. Windows sharing has to be done in Windows; it can’t be done from the printer’s on-screen display (OSD). Bonjour is a macOS service that enables automatic discovery of devices on the LAN; it can also be run on Windows.

Question 2

Your printer supports printing to both sides of paper. What should you enable in the Printing preferences?

A. Collate

B. Orientation

C. Duplex

D. Quality

Answer 2

C. Duplexing (as it relates to printers) means to print to both sides. Collating means printing multiple copies of a document’s pages in sequence, instead of printing all of the copies of one page at a time. Orientation is how the print job is displayed on the paper; it could be portrait (vertically—the default) or landscape (horizontal). Quality refers to the clarity of the print job, usually measured in dots per inch (DPI)—the higher the DPI the better.

Question 3

Which of the following address printer data privacy concerns? (Select the two best answers.)

A. Implementing user authentication on the device

B. Ad hoc mode

C. AirPrint

D. Clearing the cache

Answer 3

A and D. Implementing user authentication for the printer or print server (PIN or password) and clearing the cache on the printer both address printer data privacy concerns. Bluetooth ad hoc mode network printing can be used by mobile devices where no wireless access point exists. AirPrint is an Apple technology for macOS and iOS used to automatically locate and download drivers for printers.
