CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 97

The graphics department has an issue with printing certain files. The printer does not print the complete image on larger files. A technician verifies the network speed of the printer is set to 1GB and that regular text files print without issue. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of this problem?

Answer options

• A. The printer needs more RAM
• B. The print server is timing out
• C. The users are not printing in post-script mode
• D. The printer network connection is set to half duplex

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The most likely cause of the issue is that the printer needs more RAM to handle the larger image files effectively, as insufficient memory can result in incomplete prints. The other options are less likely; for instance, a timing out print server would affect all print jobs, not just larger files, and the post-script mode is not necessary for all printers to function correctly. Lastly, a half duplex connection would generally affect all print jobs, not just larger files.
