CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1201) — Question 185

Faded images from previous jobs appear on each page of output from an office printer. Which of the following should a technician do first to resolve this issue?

Answer options

• A. Reload the paper tray.
• B. Adjust the fuser temperature.
• C. Inspect the transfer roller.
• D. Clean the corona wire.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Cleaning the corona wire is essential as it helps in the proper transfer of toner, and residue from previous jobs can cause faded images. Reloading the paper tray, adjusting the fuser temperature, and inspecting the transfer roller may not address the ghosting issue directly.
