CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 478

A user in a medical office contacts a technician regarding a printer that is used to print A4-sized labels. After the labels are printed, they mistakenly contain white space in the middle of the page. Which of the following would MOST likely be the cause?

Answer options

• A. Contaminated fuser
• B. Worn rollers
• C. A misfeed
• D. Page orientation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The presence of white space in the middle of the labels is most often due to incorrect page orientation settings, which can lead to improper formatting during printing. The other options, such as a contaminated fuser or worn rollers, typically result in different print quality issues, while a misfeed would likely cause more drastic printing errors rather than just white space.
