The correct answer is: A. Clean the developer tank.
The developer tank is a component of a laser printer that contains a powdery substance called toner. The toner is used to create the image on the paper. If the developer tank is dirty, it can cause the print to be dirty. To clean the developer tank, you will need to open the printer and remove the developer tank. You can then use a vacuum cleaner to clean the tank.
Option B is incorrect because resetting the printer will not clean the developer tank. Option C is incorrect because running several blank pages will not clean the developer tank. Option D is incorrect because cleaning the laser diode will not clean the developer tank. Option E is incorrect because cleaning the developer tank is the only option that will correct the problem.
Here is a more detailed explanation of each option:
- Option A: Clean the developer tank. The developer tank is a component of a laser printer that contains a powdery substance called toner. The toner is used to create the image on the paper. If the developer tank is dirty, it can cause the print to be dirty. To clean the developer tank, you will need to open the printer and remove the developer tank. You can then use a vacuum cleaner to clean the tank.
- Option B: Reset the printer. Resetting the printer will not clean the developer tank. It will only reset the printer’s settings to the factory defaults.
- Option C: Run several blank pages. Running several blank pages will not clean the developer tank. It will only waste paper.
- Option D: Clean the laser diode. Cleaning the laser diode will not clean the developer tank. The laser diode is a component of the laser printer that is used to create the image on the paper. It is not responsible for the toner.
- Option E: None of the above. None of the above options will correct the problem. The only way to correct the problem is to clean the developer tank.
