  1. Chapter Eleven Installing and Configuring Printers

  2. 1.13 Install SOHO multifunction device/printers and configure appropriate settings. Use appropriate printer drivers for a given operating system. Configuration settings Duplex Collate Orientation Quality Device sharing Wired USB Serial Ethernet Wireless Bluetooth 802.11(a,b,g,n,ac) Infrastructure vs. ad hoc Integrated print server (hardware) Cloud printing/remote printing 1.13 (continued) Public/shared devices Sharing local/networked devices via Operating System settings TCP/Bonjour/AirPrint Data privacy User authentication on the device Hard drive caching 220-901 Objectives Covered

  3. 1.14 Compare and contrast differences between the various print technologies and the associated imaging process. Laser Imaging drum, fuser assembly, transfer belt, transfer roller, pickup rollers, separate pads, duplexing assembly Imaging process: processing, charging, exposing, developing, transferring, fusing and cleaning Inkjet Ink cartridge, print head, roller, feeder, duplexing assembly, carriage and belt Calibration Thermal Feed assembly, heating element Special thermal paper Impact Print head, ribbon, tractor feed Impact paper Virtual Print to file Print to PDF Print to XPS Print to image 1.15 Given a scenario, perform appropriate printer maintenance. Laser Replacing toner, applying maintenance kit, calibration, cleaning Thermal Replace paper, clean heating element, remove debris. Impact Replace ribbon, replace print head, replace paper. Inkjet Clean heads, replace cartridges, calibration, clear jams. 220-901 Objectives Covered (continued)
