CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 117

After a new laser printer was installed, users began reporting issues. Duplicate copies of print jobs were not delivering fully separated copies; instead, similar pages were being stacked. Which of the following settings MOST likely needed to be checked to correct this issue?

Answer options

• A. Collation
• B. Duplexing
• C. Orientation
• D. Quality

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Collation, because this setting determines whether printed copies are arranged in sequential order or stacked together. If collation is not enabled, duplicate pages will be printed next to one another instead of in separate sets. The other options, such as Duplexing, Orientation, and Quality, do not affect the separation of printed copies in this manner.
