Chapter 4: Scanner Modes
OMR with Imaging Mode
Operator’s Guide 47
The resulting data is stored on the PC as an ASCII data
record and image data. This process is performed for
each sheet scanned until the operator ends the
session.
NOTE: Because the ScanTools data collection soft-
ware handles the image data sent from the
scanner, you should consult your software doc-
umentation to realize the full potential of OMR
with Imaging mode.
When To Use Use this mode if you want to:
• Convert and save bubble data to ASCII
• Convert and save bar code (ladder or fence
orientation) data to ASCII
• Convert machine print to ASCII (using optional
OCR software)
• Convert hand print to ASCII (using optional ICR
software)
• Save grayscale or B&W images of clip regions
• Save grayscale or B&W images of the entire sheets
• View a portion of the sheet to aid in editing the
ASCII data that has been collected (commonly
known as heads up editing)
• View a portion of the sheet to enter data into the
ASCII data record (commonly known as key from
image or KFI)
When To Avoid Select a different mode if:
• You are only capturing bubble data and scanning
speed is most important to you (OMR Only mode
is 22% faster)
• Your PC does not meet the minimum requirements
for ScanTools in imaging mode (OMR Only mode
uses less system resources)
