Scanner Settings Use this preference to set the scanner
port setting, and the scanner
sensitivity.
Port Setting: First, make certain the
scanner is installed according to the
instructions in the AccelScan User’s
Guide.
• Start your computer and AccelTest. If
AccelTest does not detect the scanner,
you may need to manually set the
scanner port setting to the computer
port you have connected your
AccelScan to.
Sensitivity Setting: You may need to
adjust scanner sensitivity to allow for
differences in the way students mark
scan cards. If the AccelScan is too
sensitive to stray marks, decrease the
sensitivity. If the AccelScan does not
recognize some marked answers,
increase the sensitivity.
• If AccelTest still does not detect the
AccelScan scanner, confirm that your
computer system specifications meet
the requirements in “Where to Find the
System Requirements” on page 6.
1. Click on the Preferences menu and

sensitivity.
