PS
PCL
PS stands for PostScript — a type of vector graphic file. Its strength lies in its ability to make digital graphics and text ready to print. You can send a PS file directly to a printer without needing to open it in an application.
Printer Control Language, or PCL, is a common printing language used widely by many different printer manufacturers. PCL is supported by many different operating systems which allows for the same printer to work in many different environments. PCL is device dependent.
A printer’s capability to print on both sides of a paper sheet is referred to as duplex printing.

False
True
Common printer configuration options include paper orientation settings which enable switching between Portrait mode (vertical orientation of the printout), or Landscape mode (horizontal orientation). Some printers might also offer an additional paper orientation option which enables the printout to be rotated by a specific degree. For most printers, the default paper orientation mode is Portrait mode.

Security measures that can be implemented on an MFP might include user authentication on the device via system software, restricting physical access only to authorized users wearing appropriate ID badges, reviewing audit logs, or setting up Personal Identification Number (PIN) printing (a.k.a. secured prints) that would require numeric passcode before accessing printing jobs.
True
False
True
Which MFP feature optimizes processing of multi-page documents?
ADF
CIFS
KVM
APFS
ADF
An ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) is a great feature to have when used properly. It gives you the ability to feed several pages into a multifunction printer, scanner or copier, allowing you print print, copy or scan multiple pages at once without having to manually insert each piece of paper.
