CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 281

A user reports that a printer is leaving streaks on printed pages. The paper type and the toner have been replaced. Which of the following should the technician check NEXT to resolve the issue?

Answer options

• A. System board
• B. Paper tray
• C. Memory
• D. Fuser

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The fuser is responsible for permanently bonding the toner to the paper. If the fuser is malfunctioning, it can cause issues like streaks. The other options, such as the system board, paper tray, and memory, are less likely to directly affect the quality of the print output in this scenario.
