Question - Jake owns a print and copy shop just beside a university. The shop is always busy with customers who are mostly students. One Monday morning, while printing the project of a student, one of the printers in the shop breaks down. Jake knew this was bound to happen as the printer was quite old and needed to be replaced. Jake visits Devices n More and tells the shop assistant that he wanted to purchase a printer for his print and copy business. The shop assistant asks if he was looking for any particular model. Jake tells him that he wanted a colour printer with high print quality. He also states that the printer should be fast, durable and handle large volumes of printing without heating up. The shop assistant shows Jake, the Zedx printer and tells him that the printer could print sixty papers per minute and had a built-in cooling fan. Jake buys the Zedx printer. Three days later, the printer heats up and jams as it could not handle the large volume of printing. Students have also been complaining that the printer is too slow and the print quality is also poor.

REQUIRED -
