A company has a dot matrix printer that uses carbon paper. The company reports that the first page is printing too light, although the following pages are still legible. Which of the following MOST likely needs to be fixed?
A.
The print drum is worn and loose causing the printing to be light in places
B.
The ribbon is low on ink or missing and must be replaced to get proper output
C.
The heating element has failed, and a new one needs to be installed for proper transfer
D.
The wrong type of filement is loaded, preventing it from sticking correctly
E.
The fuser assembly is not calibrated properly, causing it to impact the paper too hard
Dot Matrix printers do not use heat, they use a pin striking an inked ribbon (for the first copy, the subsequent copies are handled by the carbon paper)
The ribbon is low on ink or missing and must be replaced to get proper output in a dot matrix printer that uses carbon paper. References: CompTIA A+ Certification Exam Guide, Exam 220-1001, Page 361
