    For newer laser and inkjet printers, calibrate the printer (perform a self test). Calibration fixes blurry text or incorrect colours.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Calibrating a printer, especially newer laser and inkjet printers, can help fix issues such as blurry text or incorrect colors. This process involves performing a self-test to ensure that the printer is properly aligned and adjusted. By doing so, the printer can produce more accurate and high-quality prints. Therefore, the statement "True" is correct.

    In __________________, documents are loaded into a buffer (usually an area on a disk), and then the printer pulls them off the buffer at its own rate. Because the documents are in a buffer where they can be accessed by the printer, the user is free to perform other operations on the computer while the printing takes place in the background. __________________ also lets users place a number of print jobs in a queue instead of waiting for each one to finish before specifying the next one.

    • Print Queue

    • Print Spooling

    Correct Answer
    A. Print Spooling
    Explanation
    Print spooling is a process where documents are loaded into a buffer and then the printer pulls them off the buffer at its own rate. This allows the user to perform other operations on the computer while the printing takes place in the background. Print spooling also allows users to place a number of print jobs in a queue instead of waiting for each one to finish before specifying the next one.

    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 Ink
    Explanation
    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.

    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, ECP
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Nibble, Compatibility, Byte, EPP, ECP. The explanation is that the question is asking for the five modes addressed in the IEEE standard 1284 for parallel connections. These modes are Nibble, Compatibility, Byte, EPP, and ECP. These modes determine the communication protocols and capabilities of the printer port, allowing for different levels of compatibility and functionality with different devices and systems.
