A recently installed printer is incorrectly aligning printed documents Which of the following should the technician do first to fix this issue?
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
A . Run the maintenance application: Most modern printers include a built-in maintenance application that can calibrate the print heads and correct alignment issues. Running this tool is the first step to address misalignment. Incorrect Options: B . Clean the rollers: Cleaning rollers is typically done to resolve paper feed or jamming issues, not alignment problems. C . Upgrade the firmware: While updating firmware is beneficial for performance improvements, it is not the first step for fixing alignment. D . Reinstall the drivers: Misaligned printing is usually hardware-related, not a driver issue. Key Takeaway: The maintenance application should be run first to resolve alignment issues in a newly installed printer.

Question 2
A technician is troubleshooting a connectivity issue on a network computer. The technician runs ipconfig in a command prompt and receives the following IP address:169.254.0.6. Which of the following is most likely the type of IP address being assigned?
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
An IP address starting with169.254.x.xis aself-assigned address(also calledAPIPA– Automatic Private IP Addressing). It’s used when a client device cannot contact a DHCP server. This address allows limited communication on the local network segment butno internet access. Option A:DHCP reservations assign specific IPs from the DHCP server — they don’t result in APIPA. Option B:Dynamic assignment from DHCP assigns valid IPs in the proper subnet, not 169.254.x.x. Option D:Static IPs are manually set and would not fall in the 169.254.x.x range unless set incorrectly.
