The Advantage scanner is a versatile mark read scanner
designed to score tests, process ballots and tabulate surveys.
It can perform these functions in stand-alone mode or con-
nected to a computer for advanced data collection.
Advantage uses reflective read technology for superior
pencil mark recognition. Always use a No. 2 lead pencil
when completing Advantage scan sheets. The scanner will
not read marks from ink pens or markers, even if the marks
are black.
A large selection of Advantage compatible answer sheets,
ballots, surveys and analysis forms are available from Ap-
person Print Management Services. These forms have been
specifically designed to utilize the advanced features of Ad-
vantage including paper skew detection and reading student
ID numbers.
About Advantage

Advantage must be programmed with the correct answer
pattern prior to scoring answers sheets. To program the
scanner, simply insert the teacher key. When properly keyed,
Advantage will display the number of questions keyed on the
display window and you may begin inserting answers sheets
for scoring. Advantage will score up to 200 questions keyed.
Preparing the Key
To designate an answer sheet as a key, mark the Key
bubble [K] in the keyline as shown below.
When the Verify [V] option is marked on the keyline,
correct answers are printed on individual student answer
sheets. If the Verify [V] bubble is not marked, a dash (-) prints

next to incorrect responses.
Mark the Rescore [R] bubble in the keyline to rescore a
previously scored test. Rescoring a test automatically enables
the verify option.
After marking the keyline, ll in the correct answer pattern
for each question on the test. Multiple marks may be keyed
as the correct answer for a question. Questions keyed with
multiple marks will be indicated with an ‘X’ printed next to the
question for veri cation purposes.
Key Reset Options
There are two key reset options available for test scoring.
When Advantage is powered on it automatically enters into
the Score Mode option. Pressing the Reset Options button

will put the scanner in Rescore Mode. Rescore Mode has
the identical effect as marking the Rescore [R] bubble in the
keyline.
The scanner must be in either Score Mode or Rescore
Mode to score answer sheets.
Scoring
When the key has been marked with the correct answers,
insert it through the scanner. Always verify the key has been
properly recorded before inserting student answer sheets.
Once keyed, begin processing student answer sheets. Up to
9,999 answer sheets can be processed in a single batch.
If the test includes questions from both sides of the answer
sheet, first process side 1 of the key immediately followed by
side 2 (the Key [K] bubble must be marked on each side of
the key in order to key multiple sides). When scoring multiple
sides, each side of a test answer sheet must be processed
before processing another answer sheet. You may score up
to 200 questions in this manner.
As student forms are fed through Advantage, the total
number of correct answers for each student appears in the
window display and is also printed inside the Score box at the
bottom of the form, or inside the Rescore box if the Rescore
[R] bubble was marked.

If an answer sheet is rejected by the scanner, check the
window display for the cause of the problem. Take corrective
action and reinsert the answer sheet. If the problem persists,
refer to the Troubleshooting section of the user manual.
Getting a Summary of the Test Results
There are several summary options available once a test
has been scored. Summaries can be printed using an Item
Analysis report form or viewed on the display panel. When
viewing summary information you may insert additional answer
sheets for continued scoring at any time.

Tally of Incorrect Answers
& Frequency Distribution Report
After processing a batch of answer sheets use Item Analy-
sis Form 23570 to get a detailed report of the test. The Item
Analysis report will provide a frequency distribution of scores
in 5% increments. The report also lists the number of wrong
answers selected for each test question.
If Item Analysis Form 23570 is not available, the number
of wrong answers per question can be viewed in the display

window. To view the number of wrong answers for each ques-
tion, press the Summary Display button twice. Follow the
instructions displayed in the window for viewing the tally of
wrong answers. While viewing this information you can con-
tinue processing additional answer sheets at any time.
Tally of all Marks Made
Use Tally Report Form 23580 to get a report listing a tally
of all marks entered by students. This report can be useful for
a detailed analysis of student selections on frequently missed
questions. The scanner will keep a tally of all marks selected
for up to 100 questions.

Ballot Form ABF-A102 is specifically designed for pro-
cessing ballots with Advantage. This form tabulates the votes
for up to 100 candidates. Election results can be obtained
by inserting Item Analysis Form 23570 through the scanner
when the batch processing is complete, or by viewing results
on the display window. Up to 9,999 ballots can be processed
in a single batch.
Ballot response bubbles are labeled 1 through 100. As-
sign each candidate a unique number which corresponds to
a number on the ballot form. You have an option of allowing
multiple votes per row or accepting only a single selection
per row. Allowing only single selections per row can restrict
students from voting for more than one candidate for an of-
fice. The Advantage default option allows multiple selections
per row.
To accept only one selection per row, you must mark
the first ballot processed as indicated below. In this mode,
if a ballot contains multiple selections on a row, none of the
