Advantage 1200 - Data Collection Operation

12
Placing Advantage in data collection mode disables stan-
dard test scoring operations. This can be useful when process-
ing surveys, evaluations or ballots with standard Advantage
test answer sheets or customized scan forms. When in data
collection mode, the scanner will create a tally of all marks
made on the sheets. The tabulation results can be obtained by
inserting Tally Report Form 23580 through the scanner when
the batch processing is complete, or by viewing results on the
display window. Up to 9,999 scan sheets can be processed
in a single batch.
To enter into Data Collection Mode press the Reset Op-
tions button 2 or 3 times until Data Collection appears in
the display window.
In this mode, all selections for each question will be tabu-
lated. Up to 100 questions can be tabulated in Data Collection
mode. When tabulating questions which are on both sides of
an answer sheet, scan side 1 of a sheet followed by side 2
before continuing onto the next sheet.
The following data collection options can be enabled by
making the appropriate selection on the keyline of the fi rst
sheet scanned.
