C11 - Installing and Configuring Printers Flashcards

1
Q 
Which voltage is applied to the paper to transfer the toner to the paper in an EP process
laser printer?
A. +600VDC
B. –600VDC
C. +6000VDC
D. –6000VDC
A

A. Because the toner on the drum has a slight negative charge (–100VDC), it requires
a positive charge to transfer it to the paper; +600VDC is the voltage used in an EP process
laser printer.

Q

Which of the following is not an advantage of a Universal Serial Bus (USB) printer
interface?
A. It has a higher transfer rate than a serial connection.
B. It has a higher transfer rate than a parallel connection.
C. It automatically recognizes new devices.
D. It allows the printer to communicate with networks, servers, and workstations.

A

D. The rate of transfer and the ability to recognize new devices automatically are two
of the major advantages that currently make USB the most popular type of printer
interface. However, it is the network printer interface that allows the printer to communicate
with networks, servers, and workstations.

Q 
What voltage does the corona wire or corona roller hold?
A. +600VDC
B. –600VDC
C. 0VDC
D. –100VDC
A

A. For the toner (which has a charge of –600VDC) to be transferred from the print
drum (which has a charge of –600VDC) to the paper, there must be a positive, or
opposite, charge of greater difference to break the –600VDC charge from the drum.

Q 
Which device in an inkjet printer contains the print head?
A. Toner cartridge
B. Ink cartridge
C. Daisy wheel
D. Paper tray
A

B. In an inkjet printer, the ink cartridge is the actual print head. This is where the ink
is expelled to form letters or graphics. Toner cartridges are used by laser printers to
store toner. A daisy wheel is the device that impacts the letters on the paper in a daisywheel
printer. Paper trays are the storage bins in laser printers and inkjet printers that
allow the pickup rollers to feed the paper into the printer.

B. Charging, processing, exposing, developing, transferring, fusing, cleaning
C. Processing, transferring, exposing, developing, charging, cleaning, fusing
D. Processing, charging, exposing, developing, transferring, fusing, cleaning

A

D. The correct sequence in the EP print process is processing, charging, exposing,
developing, transferring, fusing, and cleaning.

Q 
Most printers that use the electrophotographic process contain how many standard assemblies?
A. Five
B. Six
C. Four
D. Nine
A

D. There are nine standard assemblies in an electrophotographic process printer. Early
laser printers using the electrographic process contained the nine standard assemblies.
Newer laser printers do not require an ozone filter and contain only eight standard
assemblies.

Q 
What is typically included in the EP laser printer toner cartridge? (Choose three.)
A. Toner
B. Print drum
C. Laser
D. Cleaning blade
A

A, B, D. An electrophotographic (EP) laser printer toner cartridge includes the toner,
print drum, and cleaning blade. The laser is usually contained within the printer, not
within the toner cartridge.

Q

What happens during the developing stage of laser printing?
A. An electrostatic charge is applied to the drum to attract toner particles.
B. Heat is applied to the paper to melt the toner.
C. The laser creates an image of the page on the drum.
D. An electrostatic charge is applied to the paper to attract toner particles.

A

A. After a laser has created an image of the page, the developing roller uses a magnet
and electrostatic charges to attract toner to itself and then transfers the toner to the
areas on the drum that have been exposed to the laser. The toner is melted during the
fusing stage. The laser creates an image of the page on the drum in the writing stage.
An electrostatic charge is applied to the paper to attract toner in the transferring stage,
which happens immediately after the developing stage.

Q 
You have just installed a new printer. After it is installed, it prints only garbled text. Which
of the following is likely the problem?
A. Wrong IP address
B. Worn print head
C. Incorrect print drivers
D. Unsupported printer
A

C. If a printer is using out-of-date or incorrect printer drivers, the printer may produce
pages of garbled text. The solution is to ensure that the most recent printer drivers are
downloaded from the manufacturer’s website.

Q 
Which printer contains a wheel that looks like a flower with raised letters and symbols on
each petal?
A. Inkjet printers
B. Daisy-wheel printer
C. Dot-matrix printer
D. Laser printer
A

Q 
What part of a laser printer supplies the voltages for charging and transferring corona
assemblies?
A. High-voltage power supply (HVPS)
B. DC power supply (DCPS)
C. Controller circuitry
D. Transfer corona
A

A. The high-voltage power supply is the part of the laser printer that supplies the voltages
for charging and transferring corona assemblies.

17
Q 
Which printer part gets the toner from the photosensitive drum onto the paper?
A. Laser-scanning assembly
B. Fusing assembly
C. Corona assembly
D. Drum
A

C. The transfer corona assembly gets the toner from the photosensitive drum onto the
paper. For some printers, this is a transfer corona wire, and for others, it is a transfer
corona roller.

18
Q 
Which step in the laser printer printing process occurs immediately after the exposing
phase?
A. Charging
B. Fusing
C. Transferring
D. Developing
A

D. Developing happens after exposing. The correct order is processing, charging,
exposing, developing, transferring, fusing, and cleaning.

19
Q 
Which laser printer component permanently presses the toner into the paper?
A. Transfer corona
B. Fuser assembly
C. Printer controller circuitry
D. Paper transport assembly
A

B. The fuser assembly presses and melts the toner into the paper. The transfer corona
transfers the toner from the drum to the paper. The printer controller circuitry converts
signals from the PC into signals for the various printer assemblies. The paper transport
assembly controls the movement of the paper through the printer.

20
Q

Which of the following most accurately describes how to obtain a firmware upgrade for
your laser printer?
A. Download the firmware upgrade for free from the manufacturer’s website.
B. Pay to download the firmware upgrade from the manufacturer’s website.
C. Have a certified laser printer technician come to your site and install a new firmware
chip.
D. Contact the manufacturer of the printer, and they will send you the firmware upgrade
on a CD.

A

A. Firmware upgrades for laser printers are downloaded for free from the manufacturer’s
website. A technician does not need to install a new chip because firmware is
upgraded via software. It’s unlikely that the manufacturer will send you the upgrade on
a CD; it will refer you to its website to download it.
