A technician is servicing an impact printer that produces very faint, illegible text. Which of the following components should the technician replace to resolve this issue?
Impact printers create images by striking a print head against an ink ribbon, which then transfers the ink to the paper. When the print output becomes faint, it indicates that the ink on the ribbon has been depleted. Therefore, replacing the ink ribbon is the correct action to restore print quality. The fuser assembly and imaging drum are components of a laser printer. The tractor feed is responsible for pulling paper through the printer and does not affect the faintness of the text.
