CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 289

A laser printer is making humming and grinding noises, and the printouts have ghost images on the pages. Which of the following should be replaced?

Answer options

• A. Cartridge
• B. Paper
• C. Fuser
• D. Rollers

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The fuser is responsible for bonding the toner to the paper, and if it is malfunctioning, it can cause issues like ghost images on printouts. The cartridge may not be the issue if ghost images are present, and while paper and rollers can cause other problems, they are not typically associated with the noises described.
