CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 27

A company recently upgraded all of its printers to networked multifunction devices. Users can print to the new devices, but they would also like the ability to scan and fax files from their computers. Which of the following should the technician update to allow this functionality?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Updating the printer firmware is essential because it controls the device's functionality and ensures all features, such as scanning and faxing, are available. The device software and printer drivers are important for printing tasks, but they do not directly enable additional multifunction capabilities. NIC drivers relate to network connectivity but do not affect the scanning or faxing functions.
