Installing the Answer Sheet Scanning Solution

Use Schoolnet’s built-in Answer Sheet Scanning solution to scan student answer sheets using a document camera.

System Requirements

• Windows, Mac, and browser versions supported per the Schoolnet System Requirements except Internet Explorer, which is not supported.
• Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 or later. This is not included in the installer and must be installed manually.

The following document cameras were used for testing: Lumens Ladibug and Ipevo Point 2 View (P2V).

To Install the Software

Important: If you have already installed the Answer Sheet Scanning solution and are prompted to re-install a new version, you must first exit the application and then uninstall it. To exit the application in Windows, right-click the Answer Sheet Scanning icon on the right side of the Windows taskbar, and then click Exit. Then uninstall the Answer Sheet Scanning application from Control Panel > Uninstall or Remove a Program.

1. If you have an older version of the Answer Sheet Scanning solution, uninstall it before proceeding. See the note above for instructions.
2. Make sure that your document camera is connected and installed.
3. Sign in to Schoolnet.
4. Go to Assessments > Answer Sheet Scanning. The option will be available only if it is enabled in your system.

   

5. Click Download. Note that the Download button will appear only if the application has not yet been installed. The installation file will download to your default download location.
6. Double-click the installation file: OMR.Win.Desktop.Installer.msi for PC and AnswerSheetScanner.pkg for Mac.
7. Follow the instructions on your screen, and then click Finish to complete the installation.

Troubleshooting

• If you can’t get past the installation page, the application may not have installed properly. Try rerunning the installer. You can also uninstall the Answer Sheet Scanning application, and then re-install it (exit the application before uninstalling it).
• If you see an error page:
  • Make sure your document camera is connected.
  • The application may not recognize your document camera. Make sure you have the latest drivers installed for your device.
• If a proxy server is used, it must be updated in LAN Settings > Advanced so that the proxy server is bypassed for the omrapp.psonsvc.net domain.
