Because dot matrix printers strike the image onto paper, it is a good printer to use when carbon-copy documents are being printed. True or False?
-
True
-
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Dot matrix printers are a good choice when carbon-copy documents need to be printed because they strike the image onto paper. This means that the impact of the printer's pins creates a physical impression on the paper, allowing the ink to transfer to multiple layers of paper simultaneously, creating carbon copies. Therefore, the statement is true.Rate this question:

-
Print Queue
-
Print Spooling
Correct Answer
A. Print QueueExplanation
Print Queue refers to the portion of the hard drive where print jobs are temporarily stored before they are sent to the print device. This allows multiple print jobs to be managed and processed in the order they were received. The print queue acts as a buffer, ensuring that print jobs are not lost or disrupted in case of any issues with the print device. It also allows users to prioritize, pause, or cancel print jobs as needed.Rate this question:

Printers melt ink onto the print head (which is as wide as the paper). The head jets the melted ink onto the paper as the paper passes by on the print drum (similar to the laser printing process). The head takes as long as 15 minutes to heat prior to printing.
-
Laser
-
Solid Ink
-
Thermal
-
Dot Matrix
Correct Answer
A. Solid InkExplanation
Solid ink printers work by melting solid ink sticks into a liquid form. The melted ink is then sprayed onto the paper as it passes by on the print drum, similar to the process used in laser printing. Unlike other types of printers, solid ink printers require a longer heating time of up to 15 minutes before they can start printing. Therefore, the correct answer is Solid Ink.Rate this question:

-
Ink jet printer ( Ink Dispersion )
-
A dye sublimation printer
-
A Dot Matrix printer
-
A Laser Printer
Correct Answer
A. A Dot Matrix printerExplanation
A Dot Matrix printer is an appropriate answer because it transfers characters by striking a pattern from a matrix through an inked ribbon and onto paper. This type of printer uses a printhead that contains a series of pins or wires which strike against an inked ribbon, creating dots on the paper to form characters. The inked ribbon transfers the ink onto the paper, resulting in the printed output.Rate this question:

A _______________ printer is a non-impact printer that uses film-embedded dye. The print head heats and passes over the film, causing the dye to vaporize and soak into the film paper. Prints in transitioning colours rather than pixels.
-
Laser
-
Dye Sublimation
-
Thermal
Correct Answer
A. Dye SublimationExplanation
Dye sublimation printers are non-impact printers that use film-embedded dye. The print head heats and passes over the film, causing the dye to vaporize and soak into the film paper. This process allows the printer to create prints in transitioning colors rather than pixels. Laser and thermal printers do not use this specific dye sublimation process, making them incorrect options.Rate this question:

Printer Port: The means by which a print device connects to a print server (parallel port, serial port, or to the printer's NIC). Traditional parallel ports are quickly being replaced by USB ports for printing devices. In this respect, many printers can be configured in the same way that most plug and play devices are. All parallel connections must adhere to the IEEE standard 1284. You should look at your printer configuration to see which mode your printer requires. The five modes addressed in the IEEE standard are:
-
Nibble, Normal, Native, Compatibility, EPP
-
Native, Threaded, Linear, Nibble, Normal
-
Nibble, Compatibility, Byte, EPP, ECP
-
Nibble, Compatibility, Linear, Threaded, EPP
Correct Answer
A. Nibble, Compatibility, Byte, EPP, ECPExplanation
The correct answer is Nibble, Compatibility, Byte, EPP, ECP. This is because these are the five modes addressed in the IEEE standard 1284 for parallel connections. The Nibble mode allows for the transfer of 4 bits at a time, the Compatibility mode is used for older devices, the Byte mode transfers 8 bits at a time, and the EPP and ECP modes are enhanced parallel port modes that offer faster data transfer speeds.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Solid InkExplanation
Solid ink printers use solid blocks of ink that are melted and then applied to the paper. The ink is heated in the print head, which takes up to 15 minutes to heat before printing can begin. This process is similar to the way laser printers work, where a laser beam is used to heat the toner and transfer it onto the paper. Thermal printers, on the other hand, use heat-sensitive paper and apply heat directly to the paper to create the image. Dot matrix printers use a series of pins to strike an inked ribbon and transfer the ink onto the paper. Therefore, the correct answer is Solid Ink.Rate this question:
