Explanation

All four tasks listed are characteristic of inkjet printer maintenance. Inkjet printers: (1) can jam due to paper feed rollers; (2) have print heads with tiny nozzles that clog with dried ink and require cleaning; (3) use ink cartridges that are replaced when empty; and (4) require calibration to align the print heads for accurate color and position output. Laser printers use toner cartridges (not ink cartridges) and do not have heads to clean. Thermal printers use heat-sensitive paper and have no cartridges or print heads to clean in this manner. Virtual printers are software-based (e.g., print-to-PDF) and require no physical maintenance at all.
