CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 318

A user reports that a laser printer continues to print pages with text that is too light to read even after adding additional toner. Which of the following should the technician replace to correct this issue?

Answer options

• A. Paper with thinner stock
• B. Contrast sensor
• C. Pickup rollers
• D. Transfer drum

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The transfer drum is responsible for transferring the toner onto the paper; if it is worn out or defective, it can lead to faint printing. The other options do not directly affect the toner transfer process, making them incorrect choices for this specific issue.
