A technician is replacing a ribbon on a printer that produces faded text and images when printing. Which of the following types of printers is the technician working on?
A
An impact printer is a type of printer that uses a ribbon to produce text and images on paper. If an impact printer is producing faded text and images when printing, it could be due to a worn-out ribbon that needs to be replaced. The technician would need to replace the ribbon on the impact printer to resolve the issue.
A ribbon is a consumable component used in impact printers that uses a cloth or plastic strip coated with ink to produce text and images on paper. Examples of impact printers include dot matrix printers and line printers. References: Study Guide Section 4.6 - Printer technologies
If a technician is replacing a ribbon on a printer that produces faded text and images when printing, the technician is most likely working on an impact printer. Impact printers use a ribbon to transfer ink onto paper and are commonly used for printing receipts, invoices, and other documents that require multiple copies.
Inkjet printers use liquid ink that is sprayed onto paper through tiny nozzles, while laser printers use toner that is fused onto paper using heat and pressure. Thermal printers use heat to transfer ink onto paper and are commonly used for printing receipts, labels, and other documents.
This question is like I'm a man but also I'm pregnant. faded text and images are linked to inkjet printer and ribbon is linked to impact printer. there is no way an impact printer can print faded text and images and inkjet printer use ribbon.
A. Impact
The replacement of a ribbon is typically associated with impact printers. Impact printers use a ribbon to strike an inked mechanism onto the paper, creating characters or images. When the ribbon becomes worn or dry, it can result in faded text and images. Inkjet, laser, and thermal printers use different technologies and do not typically use ribbons for printing
B:In this scenario, if the printer is producing faded text and images when printing, replacing the ribbon in an inkjet printer could be a potential solution to improve the print quality. (Per Chat GPT)
The technician is most likely working on an impact printer. Impact printers use ribbons to transfer ink to the paper through a series of pins or hammers that strike the ribbon, leaving a mark on the paper. If the ribbon is worn or damaged, the printed output will appear faded or incomplete. Impact printers are commonly used for printing receipts or documents that require multiple copies. Examples of impact printers include dot-matrix and line printers.
A thermal printer uses a specially-coated white paper (usually receipt paper) that turns black when heated. It does not use a ribbon. Therefore, the answer is A.
Thermal transfer printing does use a heat sensitive ribbon, but I think they would have been specific if that's what they meant. As far as I know ALL types of impact printers use a ribbon so that seems like the safest answer.
