CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 495

A user submitted a support ticket that states all of the printouts from a laser printer appear to have double images imposed on them. A review of past printer support tickets shows that a maintenance kit has not been installed in more than a year. Which of the following printer consumables is MOST likely causing the issue?

Answer options

• A. Separation pad
• B. Transfer roller
• C. Ink cartridge
• D. Fuser

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The transfer roller is responsible for transferring the toner from the drum to the paper. If it has not been replaced in a long time, it can lead to issues like double images. The other options, such as the separation pad, ink cartridge, and fuser, are less likely to cause this specific problem.
