The correct answer is A. Clean the feed rollers.
According to CompTIA A+ Core 1 220-1201 objectives under Printers:
Frequent paper jams, particularly in high-use shared printers, are commonly caused by dirty or worn feed rollers.
Cleaning the feed rollers removes dust, paper debris, and toner residue that can prevent smooth paper feeding, especially when printing double-sided documents.
This is a standard preventive maintenance procedure that improves reliability and extends the printer’s operational life.
Why the other options are incorrect:
B. Use a different paper weight: A4 standard paper is appropriate; changing paper weight is unnecessary unless the paper is damaged or incompatible.
C. Replace the fuser unit: Fuser problems generally cause smudging or incomplete fusing, not frequent paper jams.
D. Change the toner cartridge: Toner issues affect print quality (light or streaky prints), not paper feeding or jamming.
