OpScan 5

An easy-to-use, durable scanner for fast, cost-effective data enty

The OpScan 5 Optical Mark Reading (OMR) Scanner offers fast document throughput and data transfer in a durable desktop model. Its flexible design allows it to be used as a tool for distributed or centralized processing.

For more than 37 years, National Computer Systems (USA) has been automating data entry through OMR - the technology that turns simple pen or pencil marks into useable computer information. Data is quickly scanned directly scanned directly from the source document and transferred to a computer, reducing key-entry errors and costs - while giving you more timely, quality information.

An Aid in Business

The OpScan 5 scanner enhances productivity by collecting and transforming data into useable information quickly and efficiently. A full spectrum of industries choose the OpScan 5 canner for applications such as :

*Human Resources*	*Customer Relations*	*Operations*	*Health Care*	*Public Safety*
Employees Surveys	Customer Surveys	Safety Certification	Patient Encounter	Crash
Testing/Certification	Balloting	Quality Measurement	Outcome Measurement	Incidents

OpScan 5 Key Specifications

Advanced Design Features :

Advancement in NCS OMR technology and scanner design make the OpScan5 scanner simple-to-operate, yet powerful with sophisticated features and options.

Standard Features

Document throughput rate of up to 3,500 sheets per hour

Fixed automatic feed hopper for 300 sheets eliminates continual reloading.

Single sheet or automatic feed modes for user flexibility.

Accommodation of a variety of document sizes and thickness.

Sheet thickness detector measures paper thickness to assure processing accuracy.

Adjustable flat or tilt positions for variety in use and placement.

Forty character, alphanumeric operator messages displayed in English for easy operation.

Open feed path design for direct access to roller assemblies and read heads simplifies cleaning and document removal.

Sixteen level mark discrimination differentiates erasures and smudges from valid marks.

Self diagnostics quickly pinpoint any problem.

Standard auxiliary communications port.

Operational features

Dual side read head for faster two sided document scanning.

Interactive transport printer that prints information - such as error codes, alphanumeric messages, batch or serial numbers, validation flags, and test scores - based on data that is scanned. Printing occurs during scanning so there is no effect on throughput rate.

Bar code attachment for immediate, automatic bar code identification.

Download capability permits ASCII coded output which streamlines data transfer to computer.

Software Compatibility

The OpScan 5 scanner, when connected with a microcomputer, is compatible with NCS ScanTools software. This menu-driven software helps you develop new scanning applications easily and quickly. It allows you to maintain files and define scannable documents - plus scan, edit, validate, and display data. For added value, the software converts files of scanned data into formats compatible with other commonly used software packages such Access, Excel, Lotus and SPSS.
