OpScan 150® OMR Scanner


A powerful, high performance OMR scanner designed for high-speed data input. Automatically separates scanned forms for efficient processing and minimum operator attention. Includes a microcomputer, ScanTools® Plus software, and a 80 column printer.

Standard Features

  • At least 15,000 sheets per hour at 240x120 dots per inch resolution and 7,500 shetts per hour at 240x240 dots per inch resolution.
  • Document sizes from 3.25" x 7.5" to 9" x 12".
  • Input Hopper Capacity: 750 sheets with automatic document feed.
  • Primary Output Hopper Capacity: 750 sheets.
    Secondary Output Hopper Capacity: 250 sheets.
  • Imprinter: Up to 30 character printed parallel to guie edge*.
  • Real time multiple-sheet thickness detection.
  • Open-bed scanning paper path that enable easy document access for jam recovery.
  • Interpret multiple choice answers, barcode lebels and machine-printed characters, all in real time.
  • Ability to interpret and generate one output record for documents that contain multiple data types, including:OMR, hand and machin-printed characters, bar-code*.
  • Capture full or partial page bitone images for key from image data entry and grayscale images (e.g.,photographs).

Accuracy and Reliability

  • Simple go/no-go mechanical system check that's useable by non-technical operating personnel.
  • Real-time system test that verifies the image capture system is free from defect or condition that can impair visual image quality or character recognition results.
  • Read 256 levels of gray and output 16-level-grayscale for OMR algorithm that incorporate mark discrimination to resolve "high-stakes" multiple-choice answers.
  • Minimum 99% scanner-to-scanner OMR repeatability at the +1 hex level.
  • Scanner-to-scanner image capture repeatability enabling one application definition shared between multiple scanners with no significant deterioration in hand or machine-print character recognition rates.
  • Real time mechanial sheet deskew with image-based sheet verification that assures sheet image skew is less than +.5 to achieve automatic data recognition performance.
  • Dual light ources per read head to prevent image shadows.
