The OMR Document Setup screen
ØThe initial OMR Template screen shows a list of questions that have been configured from the Document Template – initially this will be blank. Click the “Manage OMR Settings” button to proceed.

ØUpon clicking the “Manage OMR Settings” button the following screen is displayed with the Document Template on the right-hand side. For Scan2x to be able to interpret the marks on the page it needs to understand where each mark is and what is understood by the presence or otherwise of a mark.
ØThe left-hand side of the screen shows a list of questions if these are already configured. The document template is displayed on the right and will be used to set up each question.

Firstly, indicate to Scan2x whether the spaces in which marks are expected (referred to as “bubbles”) are indicated by circles or rectangular surrounds by selecting this in the “Options Shape” dropdown at top left of the screen. If these bubbles are coloured, you can indicate to Scan2x what colour they are using the “Options colour” tool by dragging the dropper into the page until you obtain a sample of the exact colour on the page. This will help Scan2x with the detection of the position of each bubble during configuration.
Tick the 'Options contain printed character' if the options have a printed character like shown in the image above.
The 'Mark Confidence' allows the administrator to set the confidence level of the filled in mark option.
The 'Auto-Process Results' option allows Scan2x to automatically adjust and process the mark results by removing marks with the lowest confidence if there are more marks than expected.
The 'Delimiter Symbol' - once a delimiter has been input, Scan2x will add that delimeter symbol between values that have multiple strings. For example, if the Delimiter Symbol was a '/', an OMR field with multiple strings will be displayed as shown in the following image:

The 'Clone Question' button allows the administrator to duplicate an existing OMR question.
The 'Manage Question' button opens the OMR configuration page for the question selected.
The 'Delete Selected' button deletes the OMR question selected.
The 'Move Up' button allows the administrator to move a question up in the OMR list.
The 'Move Down' button allows the administrator to move a question down in the OMR list.
TOP TIPS:
•The optimal shapes for detection of OMR questions are circles or squares. Any other shapes (e.g., ovals) are not recognised as easily.
•It is essential that templates are designed, saved and printed in the same size – i.e., If the template is designed for A4 sheets then it must be printed on A4 paper with the printer driver set to 100% size, not “fit to page” or “shrink to fit”.
There are two ways of configuring this:
•Manual selecting the marks
•Getting the system to find them automatically
