 The message “The amount of system memory has changed” indicates that there is a problem with the random access memory (RAM) modules in the computer. The RAM may be loose, faulty, or incompatible with the motherboard or other components. The GPU, HDD, and CPU are not directly related to system memory and would not cause this message to appear.

The message prompting to press "OK" indicates that the printer is waiting for a user input. This suggests that there is some issue with the printer settings, and the most probable cause is that the default paper type has been changed, and the printer needs the user to confirm the paper type before proceeding with the print job. This is a common issue that can occur when the default paper type is not set correctly or has been changed without the user's knowledge.

A DHCP reservation is a feature that allows a DHCP server to assign a specific IP address to a specific device on a network, based on its MAC address. This ensures that the device always receives the same IP address, even if it is disconnected or rebooted. A DHCP reservation is most likely applied to a printer, as it can make it easier for users to find and connect to the printer on the network, without having to change the printer settings or deal with IP address conflicts.

Virtual memory is a software-based memory management system that allows a computer to use hard disk storage space as RAM. This can be used to increase the total RAM in a system without upgrading the hardware. To set up virtual memory, the user should go to the System Properties window and select the Advanced tab. In the Performance section, click on the Settings button, which will open the Performance Options window. Then, click on the Advanced tab and click on the Change button in the Virtual memory section. Finally, select the option to Automatically manage paging file size for all drives, and then click OK to save the changes.

The best action for the salesperson to take in order to view weather forecasts while traveling and minimize the battery drain on their mobile device is to configure fewer location checks using cellular location services. This can be done by adjusting the settings for the weather application to limit how often it checks for updates and uses location services. This will help to conserve the battery on the device and keep the application from consuming too much power.

A media converter is a network device that operates as a bridge function, which means it connects two different types of network media, such as copper and fiber optic cables, and converts signals between them. This allows network devices that use different media types to communicate with each other over long distances or in different environments, without requiring major changes or upgrades to the existing network infrastructure.

A network tap is a physical device that allows promiscuous monitoring of network traffic by creating a copy of the data packets for analysis. A toner probe is used to trace and identify cables. A Wi-Fi analyzer is used to measure wireless signal strength and interference. A loopback plug is used to test network ports or cables by sending and receiving signals from the same device. 

Automatic document feeder (ADF) is a feature that allows a multifunction printer to photocopy documents with hundreds of pages automatically without requiring manual intervention. ADF scans multiple pages from a stack of documents and feeds them into the printer one by one. SMB is a network protocol that allows file sharing and printer access among different devices on a network. PCL is a printer language that controls how data is formatted for printing. SSH is a network protocol that allows secure remote access to another device over an encrypted connection.
