Scanning Hardware
We have categorised the scanning hardware available into three main sections:
OMR Scanners - typically robust machines that detect marks on a pre-defined page (either lines or bubbles) using red LEDs in a read head. The most popular and value for money machines we have come across are the EZData scanner (the sort of machine that reads a small lottery form) and the Opscan 4ES that can cope with A4 sheets. MurrayData can even provide the high end Insight 70 and 150 OMR scanners.
OMR + Image Scanners - Since about 2005, these new machines have entered the marketplace, allowing users the flexibility to capture traditional OMR data from lines or bubbles on a page, as well as OCR, ICR, barcode and image clip. These machines are best represented by the Insight 4ES, Insight 20 and Insight 30.
Image Only Scanners - Using what are known as 'anchor points' on the paper from being scanned, these 'white light' scanners capture the whole image of the sheet, then rely on software processing of the image to capture the relevant data. Examples of these scanners are the Fujitsu 5120c and the Bell & Howell 1200.
