Entry Forms
Filling Out Scanner Grade Entry Forms
Specification
SPACING TEST
Description
It is extremely important that your forms are aligned properly because
the program is going to pre-print identifying information in the
PAGE NO. box which is in the upper right hand corner of the scanner
forms. This information will later be read by the scanner so that the
program will know which form is being scanned.
If you are using a dot matrix (continuous feed) printer, after selecting
the sections for which you want forms printed, you must make sure that
the scanner forms are aligned properly in the printer.
You should keep selecting Option #5 until the spacing is correct. After
choosing Option #5, the computer will fill in the bubbles in the
“PAGE NO.” box one line at a time. After each line, the printer will
pause allowing you to align the forms so that the marks fall entirely
inside the bubbles in the “PAGE NO.” box. You may then press “G” to
print the next line. After the form seems to be aligned, do the spacing
test one more time for the entire “PAGE NO.” box.
NOTE: If the scanner cannot correctly read the marks in the bubbles,
the forms will not be properly scanned. Consequently, if you are using
a dot matrix (continuous feed) printer, it is highly recommended that
you make sure entries on the scan form are dark enough before
scanning.
If you are using a laser printer, you will need to keep printing sample
forms until the bubbles on the form are aligned properly.

This option allows you to return to the previous window to begin the
process of creating a new report.
Filling Out Scanner Grade Entry Forms
If you are using a scanner to enter grades into the computer, this section will explain how
to fill out the Scanner Grade Entry Forms. If you are manually entering grades into the
program, see “Filling Out Manual Grade Entry Forms” on page 3-8.
The process of filling out the pre-printed Scanner Grade Entry Forms is fairly selfexplanatory.
However, the following guidelines should be followed:
Always use a #2 pencil and completely darken bubbles. Make sure that any erased marks
are totally erased. Keep all marks inside the appropriate bubbles.
