CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 366

A laser printer is consistently having issues picking up paper from the tray as the print is initiated. There are no problems with print quality.
Which of the following parts should be replaced FIRST?

Answer options

• A. The fuser
• B. The tray
• C. The toner
• D. The rollers

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The tray is the most likely component causing the paper pickup issue, as it directly holds and feeds the paper into the printer. The fuser, toner, and rollers are less likely to be the cause since the print quality is not affected, indicating that the problem is related to the paper source rather than the printing process.
