Chapter 1:iNSIGHT 20 Dual Purpose Scanner

Congratulations on your purchase of the Scantron iNSIGHT 20 Scanner. This scanner represents the latest in document handling and scanning technology.

The iNSIGHT 20 scanner can perform both data collection and document imaging tasks. The following two sections describe the differences between these tasks.

Data Collection Data collection is the process of reading marks from printed forms (e.g. surveys, tests, ballots, etc.) and converting them to ASCII data. The iNSIGHT 20 scanner precisely scans the sheets for data while your data collection software (e.g. ScanTools Plus) controls the scanning process and stores the data that is read. The

Operator’s Guide 1

Page 13: INSIGHT 20 Operators Guide

Chapter 1: iNSIGHT 20 Dual Purpose Scanner

scanner and software work together to read up to 1800 sheets per hour in data collection mode.

The types of data that can be read include written marks (bubbles, check marks, or tick marks) and software bar codes. The iNSIGHT 20 scanner with ScanTools Plus software can also scan grayscale images for digital storage. In addition, the iNSIGHT 20 can read machine print and handprint using RealTime Character Recognition software (available separately).

Document Imaging Document imaging is the process of scanning and processing black & white, grayscale, or color images. A common use of document imaging is digitally storing documents such as student work, patient records, invoices, photographs, and more.

The iNSIGHT 20 scanner can effectively transport sheets of multiple sizes and thicknesses in a single load. The images are scanned and then processed using the included Click&Scan software. Using Click&Scan software, you can select the format of the scanned image (black & white, grayscale, or color), the resolution, the file type of the stored image, and the destination of the resulting file.

In document imaging mode, the iNSIGHT 20 scanner with Click&Scan software can scan up to 1800 two-sided, color, 200 dpi images per hour.

Chapter 2: Scanner BasicsAdjusting the Output Tray and Output Tray Extender

Adjusting the Output Tray and Output Tray ExtenderThe output tray and the output tray extender can be used in several positions. Different positions perform for different needs. If the way you use your scanner is not described in this section, experiment with different positions to determine the one that best fits your needs.

NOTE: For information on attaching these components to the scanner, see “Attaching the Output Tray and Out-put Tray Extender” on page 45.

Optimal PositionWhen scanning for data collection or when scanning large batches of mixed documents, the scanner should be in the 25 degree position as shown below. The output tray and output tray extender should be installed as shown and adjusted just slightly longer than the scanned pages. Installing the exit deflector will result in a more organized and compact output stack.

IMPORTANT: Notice that the output tray extender is com-prised of two pieces (a top and a bottom). For best results, slide the bottom piece out so that the entire length of the output tray assembly is a little longer than the sheets you are scanning.

Chapter 2: Scanner BasicsDocument Preparation

Document Preparation

Data Collection

General Guidelines • Remove all staples and paper clips before scanning. Staples and paper clips on documents may damage the scanner and documents.

• If the forms were folded, we recommend unfolding them and laying them flat for 24 hours in a climate controlled (60º to 80º F or 16º to 27º C and 40-60% humidity) environment.

• Align the forms so that all sheets have the same orientation.

• Jog (align by tapping on a hard surface) the forms on the leading edge (form ID edge) and timing mark edge.

• Ensure that the forms are placed into the input tray with the front side down (because it is a bottom feed scanner). Also ensure that the timing marks are on the left side (both front and back) when you are facing the Scantron logo.

Timing Marks

32 Scantron iNSIGHT 20 Scanner

Page 44: INSIGHT 20 Operators Guide

Chapter 2: Scanner BasicsDocument Preparation

• Paper Types: Precision forms printed by Scantron are recommended for best results. Self printed forms using Scantron DesignExpertTM with the PrintFlexTM option are also acceptable.

• Paper Weights: 60 - 90 lb., (24 - 35 lb. bond), (89 - 133 g/m2)

• Minimum Document Size: 2.5" x 5.5" (6.4 x 14 cm)

• Maximum Document Size: 8.5" x 14" (21.6 x 35.6 cm)

Damaged Documents Sheet repair is possible in many cases. A list of possible repairs follows:• If a sheet is folded or crumpled, it can be flattened by

placing a flat weight on it overnight.

• If a sheet has dark marks on it, you can erase them or use correction tape to cover them up. If using liquid correction fluid, be sure to allow it to dry thoroughly before scanning as otherwise it can get on the imaging guide and cause errors.

• If a sheet is torn you can use tape to repair it. Be sure to verify that the form is read correctly if taping over marks or the timing track.NOTE: Tape on a sheet may generate a multiple sheet

error that will be displayed in the software.

If you are unable to repair the damaged sheet, copy the marks from the damaged sheet onto a new one.

NOTE: Protective sleeves cannot be scanned for data collec-tion because of the effect the sleeve has on calibration.

Document Imaging

General Guidelines • Remove all staples and paper clips before scanning. Staples and paper clips on documents may damage the scanner and documents.

• Documents should be in good condition.

Operator’s Guide 33

Page 45: INSIGHT 20 Operators Guide

Chapter 2: Scanner BasicsDocument Preparation

• A batch of documents to be fed into the scanner for document imaging must be arranged so the leading edges of all documents are aligned and centered in the input tray; this allows the feeder to introduce documents into the scanner one at a time.

• Paper Types: The iNSIGHT 20 moves paper very well and will handle virtually any type of paper that is not abrasive or excessively stiff.NOTE: Chemically coated papers may cause more rapid

wear/swelling of the tires.

• Paper Inks: All inks on the paper must be dry before scanning is started. This includes: standard offset printing, inkjet printer, thermal transfer, handwriting inks.

• Correction Fluids: Liquid Paper®, Tipp-Ex®, Wite-out®, and other similar correction fluids must be dry before scanning is started. If not fully dry, correction fluid can get on the imaging guides and cause errors.

• Paper Weights: 9 lb. bond to 110 lb. index (34 to 200 g/m2 kg)

• Minimum Document Size: 2.5" x 2" (6.4 x 5.1 cm)

• Maximum Document Size: 8.5" x 34" (21.6 x 86.0 cm)

Damaged Documents Torn, damaged, or crushed pages can be transported successfully through the scanner. However, no scanner can transport every possible type of damaged paper.

• If in doubt about whether a specific damaged document can be transported through the scanner, place the document in a clear protective sleeve. Sleeved documents should be manually fed, one at a time, while lifting the gap release lever. (Do not use protective sheets for data collection scanning.)

• When scanning documents in a clear protective sleeve, the input tray guides must be adjusted to accommodate the width of the sleeve.

Chapter 3: InstallationSelecting a Good Location

Selecting a Good LocationTo place your scanner in a good location, observe these requirements:• Air quality. Keep in mind that a scanner works better

and lasts longer when it is not exposed to a lot of dust.

• Computer hookup. Place the scanner within 6 feet of the computer to which it is to be connected.

• Flooring. Try to find a location for the scanner that is not carpeted. Most types of carpeting introduce static, which might interfere with the way the scanner operates.

• Humidity. Use the scanner in a location having 40% relative humidity. If sheets have been in very wet or dry conditions, keep them in an atmosphere controlled (60º to 80º Fahrenheit or 15º to 27º Celsius with 40% humidity) environment for 24 hours before you attempt to scan them.

• Electrical noise. Do not locate the scanner near a generator or other type of large motor, such as an elevator, an air conditioner, or a refrigerator that produces electrical noise which might interfere with the operation of the scanner.

• Phone access. Locate the scanner close to a phone — in the same room if possible. Close phone access is important if you need to call Scantron for assistance with a scanning problem. Customer Support will provide assistance over the phone.

• Power source. Place the scanner in a location that is close to an electrical outlet that provides stable power. The outlet must be properly grounded and meet national and local electrical codes.

• Space. Find a location that allows you plenty of working surface around the scanner. See “Scanner Hardware Features” on page 3 for information on the scanner’s size.

Chapter 4:Maintenance

Precautions Cleaning your scanner and preventative maintenance on a regular basis is required to ensure the best possible data quality. Some guidelines follow:• Do not use canned/compressed air as this can force

dust into difficult to clean areas.

• Use only the recommended cleaning supplies.

• Using unapproved cleaning fluids or solvents may damage the foam tires.

• Some document types generate more paper dust and debris and may require more frequent cleaning than recommended.

• Some debris from the foam tires on the feed and separator modules is normal. Tire debris does not always mean that the tires are worn or damaged. After cleaning, inspect the tires for wear and replace the separator module or feed module if necessary.

Operator’s Guide 81

Page 93: INSIGHT 20 Operators Guide

Chapter 4: Maintenance

• When cleaning rollers, use an emulsiclean wipe and allow the rollers to dry completely before scanning.

• When cleaning tires, use a slightly damp staticide wipe and allow the tires to dry completely before scanning.

• In addition to the recommended cleaning supplies, you may use a vacuum cleaner to remove debris from the scanner.

• If a difficulty persists after performing the maintenance recommended in this manual, call Scantron Customer Support as described in “Requesting Support” on page 125.

Chapter 4: MaintenanceCleaning the Rollers and Transport

Cleaning the Rollers and TransportIf a transport cleaning sheet does not clean the transport area sufficiently, use the following procedure:

1. With an emulsiclean wipe (part number 137 4966), wipe the white plastic and red rubber rollers from side to side. Rotate the rollers to clean the entire surface.

CAUTION: Use the emulsiclean wipe only on the white plastic rollers. Do not use the emulsiclean wipe on the gray foam tires as they will absorb moisture and need to dry before use.

IMPORTANT: Emulsiclean wipes contain sodium lauryl ether sulfate which can cause eye irritation. See “Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)” on page 86 for information on how to obtain the MSDS.

2. Dry the rollers with a lint-free cloth such as a dry emulsiclean wipe. Do not use a paper towel as this will introduce dust into the transport area.

Troubleshooting ChartUse the chart below as a guide to check possible for solutions to problems you may encounter when using the Scantron iNSIGHT 20 Scanner.

Problem Possible Solution

The scanner will not scan/feed documents

Make sure that:• the wall outlet is not defective.• the power cord is plugged in and the power is on.• the scanner cover is completely closed.• the PC was restarted after installing the software.• the proper power-up sequence was followed, the

scanner’s green light is on, and the software has enabled scanning.

• documents are making contact with the feed module.

• the number of documents is less than approximately 40 sheets of 24 lb bond (90 g/m2) paper.

• documents meet specifications for size, weight, and type, etc.

• for thicker documents, you lift the gap release lever during feeding.

• you check the feed module and separator module for signs of wear, and replace these parts if necessary.

• you try powering the scanner down, and then up again.

If you are feeding a stack of documents (more than 40) at a 25 degree angle, and the transport will not start, it may be necessary to shingle (stagger) the bottom documents so the feed rollers can grasp the first document and start the feeding process.

Chapter 5: TroubleshootingTroubleshooting Chart

“False” paper jams are occurring

Check that the ultrasonic multi-feed detector transmitter and receiver are clean. Debris in these areas can cause a paper jam error when no documents have been fed. To clean, refer to “Cleaning the Ultrasonic Multi-feed Detector” on page 95.

Documents are jamming or multiple documents are feeding

Make sure that:• the side guides are adjusted for the width of the

documents you are scanning.• the output tray is adjusted for the length of

documents you are scanning.• the leading edges of all batched documents are

centered in the automatic document feeder so that each document will come in contact with the feed rollers.

• documents with an unusual texture or surface are fed manually.

• documents meet specifications for size, weight, type, etc. as outlined in “Document Preparation” starting on page 32.

• all staples and paper clips have been removed from the documents.

• all jammed documents have been removed from the paper transport area.

• the drive rollers and tires are clean.• the imaging guides are clean.• the feed module and separator module are clean

and properly installed (replace if worn).• the spring on the pre-separation module is

adjusted to the proper tension as described in “Adjusting the Pre-Separation Roller Tension” starting on page 103.

Appendix A:Color Options for Data Collection Forms

Colors can add interest and clarity to your data collection forms. However, it is important to choose colors that will drop out (not be read by the scanner) properly. Specific colors are approved, depending on whether the respondent uses ink or pencil to fill in the forms. In addition, if using pencil, you can use up to three colors on your forms. See the tables in this appendix for listings of approved colors and color combinations for ink and pencil read forms.
