CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1201) — Question 126
A multifunction printer in a small office recently had issues with scan-to-email functionality. The manufacturer has an update ready to fix the printer issues. Which of the following would a technician most likely deploy to remediate the issue?
Answer options
- A. Firmware
- B. Driver
- C. OS update
- D. HSM
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is A, Firmware, as printer issues are typically resolved by updating the firmware, which directly controls the printer's hardware functionalities. The other options, such as Driver and OS update, are more related to the interfaces and operating system, which are less likely to fix specific printer functionality problems.
