Read the first 7 Peripherals and Printing flashcards as text

  1. A user's USB-C hub stops working after connecting it to a Mac running macOS Ventura. Which step should you perform first to isolate the issue?

    Answer: Test the hub on a different Mac or with a different cable

    Testing with a different Mac or cable isolates whether the issue is with the hub, the cable, or the specific Mac's port.

  2. Which macOS feature allows a Mac to act as a printer host so other devices on the network can share that printer?

    Answer: Printer Sharing in System Settings

    Printer Sharing in System Settings (formerly System Preferences) lets a Mac share a locally connected printer over the network.

  3. A customer's Magic Mouse is not tracking correctly on their desk surface. What is the most likely cause?

    Answer: Dirty or reflective surface interfering with the optical sensor

    Optical mice can track poorly on highly reflective, transparent, or dirty surfaces that confuse the sensor.

  4. When using an Apple Studio Display connected to a MacBook Pro, a user reports the display's built-in camera is not recognized. What should you check first?

    Answer: If the display's USB-C cable is fully seated in the Thunderbolt port

    The Studio Display's camera, speaker, and microphone only function when connected via the included Thunderbolt cable that also carries data; a loose connection drops those devices.

  5. A user wants to print from their iPhone to a printer on their home Wi-Fi network. Which technology enables this without installing an app?

    Answer: AirPrint

    AirPrint is Apple's wireless printing protocol built into iOS and macOS that works with compatible printers over Wi-Fi without additional drivers or apps.

  6. A Thunderbolt 3 peripheral is connected to a Mac's Thunderbolt 4 port. What is the expected result?

    Answer: The peripheral functions normally because Thunderbolt 4 is backward compatible with Thunderbolt 3

    Thunderbolt 4 is fully backward compatible with Thunderbolt 3 devices, so they operate at Thunderbolt 3 speeds.

  7. Which command-line tool in macOS can be used to list available printers and their status from the Terminal?

    Answer: lpstat -p

    `lpstat -p` lists all configured printers and indicates whether each is enabled or disabled.
