Proper handling of OMR sheets is essential to ensure accurate evaluation and avoid errors during scanning. Mishandled sheets can cause scanning issues or even damage the OMR reader hardware.
Keep OMR sheets organized in serial number order inside envelopes.
Avoid unnecessary folding, stapling, punching, or tying of sheets.
Proper storage prevents misplacement and ensures smooth scanning.
While modern software like Addmen OMR Sheet Checker can handle minor damages, other OMR scanning systems may reject damaged sheets. Therefore:
Avoid folding or crushing the sheets.
Do not staple, pin, punch, or tie the sheets.
Staples or pins can damage the scanning hardware.
Punch holes may appear as dark marks to the scanner, leading to incorrect reading.
Clips can leave white residue that interferes with scanning.
Even though Addmen OMR software uses index points on the four corners of the sheet, which are designed to prevent misreads caused by minor edge marks, it is still best practice to avoid any form of physical damage to the sheet.
Always check that sheets are flat, clean, and intact before scanning.
Ensure sheets are free of staples, folds, or marks outside the designated OMR fields.
Keep sheets in a dry, dust-free environment to prevent scanning errors.
Following these guidelines ensures that your OMR evaluation is smooth, accurate, and trouble-free.
