3.11 – Given a scenario, install and maintain various print technologies

Question 1

During which step of the laser printing/imaging process is the transfer corona wire
involved?
 ❍ A. Developing
 ❍ B. Transferring
 ❍ C. Fusing
 ❍ D. Cleaning

Answer 1

B. The transfer corona wire gets involved in the laser printing/imaging process
during the transferring step.

Question 2

Which stage of the laser printing/imaging process involves extreme heat?
 ❍ A. Fusing
 ❍ B. Transferring
 ❍ C. Exposing
 ❍ D. Writing

Answer 2

A. The fusing step uses heat (up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit/200 degrees Celsius)
and pressure to fuse the toner permanently to the paper.

Question 3

Which represents the proper order of the laser printing/imaging process?
❍ A. Processing, charging, developing, exposing, fusing, transferring,
cleaning
❍ B. Developing, processing, charging, exposing, transferring, fusing,
cleaning
❍ C. Charging, exposing, developing, processing, transferring, fusing,
cleaning
❍ D. Processing, charging, exposing, developing, transferring, fusing,
cleaning

Answer 3

D. The proper order of the laser printing/imaging process is processing, charging,
exposing, developing, transferring, fusing, cleaning.

Question 4

Which of the following sets of parts is associated with inkjet printers?
❍ A. Imaging drum, fuser assembly, transfer belt, transfer roller, pickup
rollers, separation pads, duplexing assembly
❍ B. Ink cartridge, print head, roller, feeder, duplexing assembly, carriage,
and belt
❍ C. Feed assembly, thermal heating unit, thermal paper
❍ D. Print head, ribbon, tractor feed, impact paper

Answer 4

B. Inkjet printer components include ink cartridge, print head, roller, feeder,
duplexing assembly, carriage, and belt. Imaging drum, fuser assembly, transfer
belt, transfer roller, pickup rollers, separation pads, and duplexing assembly are
associated with laser printers. Feed assembly, thermal heating unit, and thermal
paper are associated with thermal printers. Print head, ribbon, tractor feed, and
impact paper are associated with impact printers.

Question 5

When finished installing a new printer and print drivers, what should you do?
(Select all that apply.)
 ❍ A. Calibrate the printer.
 ❍ B. Install the print drivers.
 ❍ C. Check for compatibility.
 ❍ D. Print a test page.

Answer 5

A and D. After the printer is installed (meaning it has been connected and the
drivers have been installed), you should calibrate the printer (if necessary) and
print a test page. You should also consider updating the firmware for the printer.
Before starting the installation, you should check for compatibility with operating
systems, applications, and so on.
