CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 372

A laser printer, which is located in a large office, has a leaky toner cartridge. Some toner spilled into the printer when the cartridge was removed. Which of the following is the best way to clean up the toner?

Answer options

• A. Magnetic duster
• B. ESD-safe vacuum
• C. Compressed air
• D. Damp cloth

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The best option for cleaning up toner spills is an ESD-safe vacuum, as it can effectively remove fine toner particles without causing further dispersion or damage. A magnetic duster is not suitable for toner, compressed air could spread the toner further, and a damp cloth could smear the toner, making cleanup more difficult.
