   An IT manager discovered that hundreds of pages of printed materials are being recycled each day because the materials are left on the printer tray instead of being picked up by users. Which of the following would BEST prevent this waste?

   • ASend friendly reminders to not print unnecessarily.
   • BEnable duplex printing to reduce paper utilization.
   • CBill each department for the excess material cost.
   • DRequire a code or badge before releasing a print job.

   Show answer

   Answer: D

   Explanation

   Secured Print and Badging A secured print is held on the print device until the user authenticates directly with the print device. This mitigates the risk of confidential information being intercepted from the output tray before the user has had time to collect it. Authentication to release the print job might be supported using different formats: PIN entry requires the user to input the correct password or code via the device control panel. Badging means the print device is fitted with a smart card reader. The employee must present his or her ID badge to the reader to start the print job.

The drum is fine because the issue only applies when copying, so the scanner glass must be scratched.

   A technician is building a video production workstation that will consist of two high-end GPUs. The technician is reusing an existing ATX case. Which of the following should the technician select as the MOST appropriate power supply type?

   • A400W external power supply
   • B2x 600W redundant power supplies
   • C1,200W modular power supply
   • D1,500W uninterruptible power supply

   Show answer

   Answer: C

   Explanation

   Two high-end GPUs can easily draw over 500W of power each. Therefore, a 1,200W power supply is the minimum required to power the workstation. A modular power supply is also a good choice, as it allows the technician to only install the cables that are needed, which reduces clutter and improves airflow.

8. Question 108 · 624 in bank

   A printer technician receives a support request for a laser printer that sometimes cuts off the bottom of the print job. During troubleshooting, the technician notices that affected jobs are set for 8.5in x 14in (216mm x 356mm) paper and only print from a particular paper tray. Which of the following actions should the technician perform NEXT?

   • AVerify that the printing trays are correctly set
   • BSwap printer trays until the print jobs complete as expected
   • CReplace the tray rollers to ensure proper paper alignment
   • DReset the default to use 8.5in x 11in (216mm x 279mm) paper

   Show answer

   Answer: A

   Explanation

   Since the issue only occurs when printing from a specific paper tray with a specific paper size, the technician should start by verifying that the paper tray is set up correctly. The printer may be detecting a different paper size or type than the one actually loaded in the tray, causing the print job to be cut off at the bottom. To verify that the paper tray is set up correctly, the technician should check the following: Ensure that the paper size and type settings for the tray match the actual paper loaded in the tray. Check that the paper guides in the tray are set snugly against the paper. Make sure that the tray is not overloaded with paper, which can cause misfeeds and other paper handling issues. After verifying the paper tray settings, the technician can run a test print job to see if the issue has been resolved. If the problem persists, the technician can try other troubleshooting steps such as checking for paper jams, cleaning the paper path, or resetting the printer's default settings.

10. Question 110 · 624 in bank

    A technician recently received a written warning for causing a system-wide outage. The outage was a result of an unscheduled patch being manually pushed during production hours. Which of the following could have MOST likely prevented the technician from receiving the warning?

    • AFollowing corporate procedures
    • BTesting before deployment
    • CDocumenting the findings
    • DEstablishing a plan of action

    Show answer

    Answer: A

    Explanation

    "written warning for causing a system-wide outage. The outage was a result of an unscheduled patch being manually pushed during production hours" directly indicates that the technician did NOT know the procedure. Even if the technician tested before pushing the update through manually, he still would have made the error of doing it during production hours so it cannot be B. Testing is important, but in this scenario would still result in a mistake being made
