OpScan 6 Scanner Features

The OpScan 6 scanner offers features to help ensure accuracy, speed, and ease of use.

Accuracy

• Digital read head technology helps prevent undetected degradation of read head accuracy. The OpScan 6 scanner alerts you when paper dust, eraser bits, etc. begin to build up and block read cells, or when a read cell degrades or fails.
• Two light sources for each read cell minimize the effect of folds and wrinkles in forms.
• Precisely positioned read head wiping surfaces flatten wrinkled and folded forms and automatically clean the read head.
• Sixteen level mark discrimination differentiates erasures and smudges from valid marks.
• Sheet thickness detector helps ensure that one sheet at a time is read.
• Sheet skew detection helps ensure proper registration while reading.

Speed

• A form throughput rate of up to 5,000 sheets per hour maximizes efficiency.
• A fixed, automatic feed hopper for 300 sheets eliminates continual reloading.
• Data transmission occurs as each row is scanned. This, coupled with Scantrons’ proprietary data compression, results in higher actual scanner throughput.

Ease of Use

• Forty character, alphanumeric operator messages simplify operation.
• An open feed path provides sheet visibility at all times as well as easy access for sheet removal and transport cleaning.
• The OpScan 6 scanner accommodates both Mark Reflex® and Trans-Optic® forms ranging in size from 2.5” x 5” to 9” x 14” (60-100 lb. offset).
• Scanner self diagnostics quickly pinpoint any problem.
