CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1201) — Question 71
A user reports that the printouts from a laser printer have lines and smudges on them. The printer is also intermittently misfeeding the paper. Which of the following components should a technician replace to address this issue?
Answer options
- A. Fuser
- B. Maintenance kit
- C. Corona wire
- D. Toner cartridge
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is B, the maintenance kit, as it typically includes parts that wear out over time, such as rollers or belts, which can contribute to print quality issues and paper feeding problems. The other options may address specific issues but do not encompass the overall maintenance needed to resolve the combination of symptoms presented.
