Question

you and your friend both send documents to the printer, but the printer can only print one document at a time. what does it do with the other document?
a. it places the document in a buffer.
b. it rejects the document, so it needs to be sent again.
c. it does not print either document.
d. it transfers the document to the recycle bin.

Explanation:

Printers use a buffer (a temporary storage area) to hold documents when they can't print them immediately. Option b is incorrect as printers don't typically reject and require re - sending. Option c is wrong because the printer will print the documents one after another from the buffer. Option d is incorrect as the Recycle Bin is for deleted files on a computer, not for printer - held documents.

Answer:

a. It places the document in a buffer.
