Scan Students' Schedules
The Actual Scanning Of The Request Forms
If a student has at least one request with a section in their transcript, a form may not be
scanned for that student. In other words, to re-scan a form for a student, that student must
be unscheduled or dropped from all of their courses using the View/Change/Add/Drop
program.
The printout obtained during the scanning process will inform you if a form has not been
scanned for a student.
After selecting Option #1, CONTINUE, the following message will appear on the
window:
IF THE READY LIGHT ON THE SCANNER IS OFF, PRESS THE START
BUTTON
PRESS {ESC} TO ABORT SCANNING AT ANYTIME
If nothing is happening, it is probably because the READY light on the scanner is off.
Simply press the START button on the scanner to turn it on and start the forms through
the scanner.
At anytime, pressing the {ESCAPE} key on the computer will halt the scanner and
return you to the main window from where you may later choose to CONTINUE and
resume scanning exactly where you left off. If you halt the scanner by pressing the
{ESCAPE} key, you may have to re-scan the last form that passed through the scanner.
You may also temporarily halt the scanner by pressing the START button on the scanner
which will turn the READY light off if it is already on.
When the automatic feeder is empty, the ready light on the scanner will go off and the
computer will pause as it waits for more data from the scanner. Place the next stack of
50 forms in the scanner and press the START button on the scanner to resume the
scanning process. There is no need to touch anything on the computer during the process
of refilling the automatic feeder.
If the automatic feeder is empty and you do not have any more forms to scan, press the
{ESC} key to return to the main window from where the program may be ended.
There are three types of errors that may occur:
• Scanner Errors
• Student Number Error
• Resolving Error
Scanner Error
If there is a scanner error, the scanner stops and the scanner's display flashes ERROR.
The computer does not know that there has been an error because it is patiently waiting
for data to arrive from the scanner. The most common scanner errors are caused by
forms being entered backwards, paper jams or from a dirty read head. If a scanner error
occurs, fix the problem, reset the forms in the automatic feeder if necessary, and press
the START button on the scanner to resume the scanning process.
