This section describes how to set up Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) scanning options in DataManager™, how to manage and apply the scanning options, and how to prepare the answer documents for scanning.
Important: To use OMR, you must have a DataManager user name and password. If you do not have a DataManager user name or password, contact your administrator for assistance before you proceed.
● Set your OMR scanning options. See Manage OMR Scanning Options.
● Create your test event. See DataManager Assessments Help.
Note: If you are building a roster from the scanning session, then you must select this option when you create your test event. See Build Rosters from OMR Scanning. If you are not building a roster from the scanning session, then you must create a test assignment. See Create Test Assignments for OMR.
● If you are using barcodes, print the barcode labels and apply them to answer documents. See Print Barcode Labels.
● Prepare the answer documents for scanning by doing the following:
– If you are scanning test booklets and answer folders, cut the documents. See Slit Answer Documents.
– Check that the answer documents are properly marked. See Check Answer Documents before Scanning.
– Organize the answer documents in the proper order and assemble the answer documents into batches of up to 50 sheets. See Arrange Answer Documents in Proper Order and in Batches.
