If you plan to purchase a scanner for use with Remark Classic (Magenta Suite) or Remark Office software (Concord Suite), here are some pros and cons to consider:

Remark Classic OMR®

Pros:
  • You may obtain a higher speed of scanning (i.e., 3000 sheets per hour).
  • The scanner can be left unattended.
  • The scanner has capability for a separate hopper for rejected forms to automatically be sent and dealt with later.
  • You can capture much more data on an OMR form reducing paper costs.
Cons:
  • An OMR scanner is dedicated to this type of application. It cannot be used to "scan" non-OMR documents.
  • Printing of forms must be very precise; large quantities are typically ordered from printers specializing in this application.
  • Copies of OMR forms cannot be scanned.

Remark Office OMR®

Pros:
  • It costs less to implement this solution as far as the cost of the page scanner.
  • A page scanner can be used for other applications.
  • Printing of forms for use with the page scanner does not have to be as exact as for an OMR.
  • You may scan using copies of forms.
Cons:
  • Page scanner speed is not nearly as fast as an OMR scanner speed.
  • The automatic document feeder normally holds 50 to 100 sheets at a time.
  • You cannot capture as much data on an image form as on an OMR form.
