Chapter 1:
iNSIGHT 20 Dual Purpose Scanner
Congratulations on your purchase of the
Scantron iNSIGHT 20 Scanner. This scanner
represents the latest in document handling and
scanning technology.
The iNSIGHT 20 scanner can perform both
data collection and document imaging tasks. The
following two sections describe the differences
between these tasks.
Data Collection
Operator’s Guide
Data collection is the process of reading marks from
printed forms (e.g. surveys, tests, ballots, etc.) and
converting them to ASCII data. The iNSIGHT 20 scanner
precisely scans the sheets for data while your data
collection software (e.g. ScanTools Plus) controls the
scanning process and stores the data that is read. The
1
Chapter 1: iNSIGHT 20 Dual Purpose Scanner
scanner and software work together to read up to 1800
sheets per hour in data collection mode.
The types of data that can be read include written marks
(bubbles, check marks, or tick marks) and software bar
codes. The iNSIGHT 20 scanner with ScanTools Plus
software can also scan grayscale images for digital storage.
In addition, the iNSIGHT 20 can read machine print and
handprint using RealTime Character Recognition software
(available separately).
Document Imaging
Document imaging is the process of scanning and
processing black & white, grayscale, or color images. A
common use of document imaging is digitally storing
documents such as student work, patient records, invoices,
photographs, and more.
The iNSIGHT 20 scanner can effectively transport sheets
of multiple sizes and thicknesses in a single load. The
images are scanned and then processed using the included
Click&Scan software. Using Click&Scan software, you can
select the format of the scanned image (black & white,
grayscale, or color), the resolution, the file type of the
stored image, and the destination of the resulting file.
In document imaging mode, the iNSIGHT 20 scanner
with Click&Scan software can scan up to 1800 two-sided,
color, 200 dpi images per hour.

Scanner Positions
The iNSIGHT 20 scanner is equipped with a tilt feature
which allows the scanner to be tilted in two different
positions. Depending upon your scanning needs, you can
tilt the scanner body and adjust the output tray and
extender accordingly. The tilt feature also allows for
scanning in tight spaces when space is limited and for
compact storage when not in use.
The following photos show the angles the scanner can be
placed in. Simply press the tilt release button and tilt the
scanner body into a 25 or 60 degree angle.
25 degree position
This position is best for scanning batches larger than a few
sheets.
24

60 degree position
This position is best for storage or for scanning just a few
sheets. When scanning just a few sheets, do not use the
output tray as shown above. See “Output Tray Extender
Flat” on page 28 for the optimal output tray extender
position when scanning in the 60 degree position.
NOTE: Heavier weight documents (e.g., 110-lb.) may not
feed properly when the scanner is positioned in the 60
degree position. If scanning heavy-weight documents,
use the 25 degree position.
IMPORTANT: When using the tilt feature, be sure the scanner

Adjusting the Output Tray and Output Tray Extender
Adjusting the Output Tray and Output Tray Extender
The output tray and the output tray extender can be used
in several positions. Different positions perform for
different needs. If the way you use your scanner is not
described in this section, experiment with different
positions to determine the one that best fits your needs.
NOTE: For information on attaching these components to
the scanner, see “Attaching the Output Tray and Output Tray Extender” on page 45.
Optimal Position
When scanning for data collection or when scanning large
batches of mixed documents, the scanner should be in the
25 degree position as shown below. The output tray and
output tray extender should be installed as shown and
adjusted just slightly longer than the scanned pages.
Installing the exit deflector will result in a more organized
and compact output stack.
IMPORTANT: Notice that the output tray extender is com-
prised of two pieces (a top and a bottom). For best
results, slide the bottom piece out so that the entire
length of the output tray assembly is a little longer
than the sheets you are scanning.

Remove all staples and paper clips before scanning.
Staples and paper clips on documents may damage the

If the forms were folded, we recommend unfolding
them and laying them flat for 24 hours in a climate
controlled (60º to 80º F or 16º to 27º C and 40-60%
humidity) environment.
Align the forms so that all sheets have the same
orientation.
Jog (align by tapping on a hard surface) the forms on
the leading edge (form ID edge) and timing mark
edge.
Ensure that the forms are placed into the input tray
with the front side down (because it is a bottom feed
scanner). Also ensure that the timing marks are on the
left side (both front and back) when you are facing the
Scantron logo.

Damaged Documents
Paper Types: Precision forms printed by Scantron
are recommended for best results. Self printed forms
using Scantron DesignExpertTM with the PrintFlexTM
option are also acceptable.
Paper Weights: 60 - 90 lb., (24 - 35 lb. bond),
(89 - 133 g/m2)
Minimum Document Size: 2.5" x 5.5" (6.4 x 14 cm)
Maximum Document Size: 8.5" x 14" (21.6 x 35.6 cm)
Sheet repair is possible in many cases. A list of possible
repairs follows:
• If a sheet is folded or crumpled, it can be flattened by
placing a flat weight on it overnight.
• If a sheet has dark marks on it, you can erase them or
use correction tape to cover them up. If using liquid
correction fluid, be sure to allow it to dry thoroughly
before scanning as otherwise it can get on the imaging
guide and cause errors.
• If a sheet is torn you can use tape to repair it. Be sure
to verify that the form is read correctly if taping over
marks or the timing track.
NOTE: Tape on a sheet may generate a multiple sheet
error that will be displayed in the software.
If you are unable to repair the damaged sheet, copy the
marks from the damaged sheet onto a new one.
NOTE: Protective sleeves cannot be scanned for data collec-
tion because of the effect the sleeve has on calibration.

Paper Inks: All inks on the paper must be dry before
scanning is started. This includes: standard offset
printing, inkjet printer, thermal transfer, handwriting
inks.
Correction Fluids: Liquid Paper®, Tipp-Ex®, Witeout®, and other similar correction fluids must be dry
before scanning is started. If not fully dry, correction
fluid can get on the imaging guides and cause errors.
Paper Weights: 9 lb. bond to 110 lb. index (34 to
200 g/m2 kg)
Minimum Document Size: 2.5" x 2" (6.4 x 5.1 cm)
Maximum Document Size: 8.5" x 34"
(21.6 x 86.0 cm)
Torn, damaged, or crushed pages can be transported
successfully through the scanner. However, no scanner
can transport every possible type of damaged paper.
•
•
34
A batch of documents to be fed into the scanner for
document imaging must be arranged so the leading
edges of all documents are aligned and centered in the
input tray; this allows the feeder to introduce
documents into the scanner one at a time.
Paper Types: The iNSIGHT 20 moves paper very
well and will handle virtually any type of paper that is
not abrasive or excessively stiff.
NOTE: Chemically coated papers may cause more rapid
wear/swelling of the tires.
If in doubt about whether a specific damaged
document can be transported through the scanner,
place the document in a clear protective sleeve.
Sleeved documents should be manually fed, one at a
time, while lifting the gap release lever. (Do not use
protective sheets for data collection scanning.)
When scanning documents in a clear protective sleeve,
the input tray guides must be adjusted to
accommodate the width of the sleeve.

Chapter 3: Installation
Selecting a Good Location
Selecting a Good Location
To place your scanner in a good location, observe these
requirements:
• Air quality. Keep in mind that a scanner works better
and lasts longer when it is not exposed to a lot of dust.
• Computer hookup. Place the scanner within 6 feet of
the computer to which it is to be connected.
• Flooring. Try to find a location for the scanner that is
not carpeted. Most types of carpeting introduce static,
which might interfere with the way the scanner
operates.
• Humidity. Use the scanner in a location having 40%
relative humidity. If sheets have been in very wet or
dry conditions, keep them in an atmosphere
controlled (60º to 80º Fahrenheit or 15º to 27º Celsius
with 40% humidity) environment for 24 hours before
you attempt to scan them.
• Electrical noise. Do not locate the scanner near a
generator or other type of large motor, such as an
elevator, an air conditioner, or a refrigerator that
produces electrical noise which might interfere with
the operation of the scanner.
• Phone access. Locate the scanner close to a phone
— in the same room if possible. Close phone access is
important if you need to call Scantron for assistance
with a scanning problem. Customer Support will
provide assistance over the phone.
• Power source. Place the scanner in a location that is
close to an electrical outlet that provides stable power.
The outlet must be properly grounded and meet
national and local electrical codes.
• Space. Find a location that allows you plenty of
working surface around the scanner. See “Scanner
Hardware Features” on page 3 for information on the
scanner’s size.

Precautions
Operator’s Guide
Cleaning your scanner and preventative maintenance on a
regular basis is required to ensure the best possible data
quality. Some guidelines follow:
• Do not use canned/compressed air as this can force
dust into difficult to clean areas.
• Use only the recommended cleaning supplies.
• Using unapproved cleaning fluids or solvents may
damage the foam tires.
• Some document types generate more paper dust and
debris and may require more frequent cleaning than
recommended.
• Some debris from the foam tires on the feed and
separator modules is normal. Tire debris does not
always mean that the tires are worn or damaged. After
cleaning, inspect the tires for wear and replace the
separator module or feed module if necessary.

NOTE: Scantron scanners use replaceable tires than can feed
a wide range of document types, sizes and thicknesses.
Tire life and performance will vary based on the
document set, the frequency of cleaning of the
transport and tires, and following the recommended
schedule for changing tires. You should change the
tires if you notice an increase in multiple feeds,
stoppages, or a decrease in feeder performance that is
not resolved by the above cleaning procedures.
NOTE: Certain paper types (such as carbonless paper or
newsprint), failure to clean regularly, and/or use
of non-recommended cleaning solvents can shorten
tire and roller life.

wipe the white plastic and red rubber rollers from side
to side. Rotate the rollers to clean the entire surface.
CAUTION: Use the emulsiclean wipe only on the white
plastic rollers. Do not use the emulsiclean wipe on
the gray foam tires as they will absorb moisture
and need to dry before use.
IMPORTANT: Emulsiclean wipes contain sodium lauryl
ether sulfate which can cause eye irritation. See

solutions to problems you may encounter when using the
Scantron iNSIGHT 20 Scanner.
Problem
The scanner will not scan/
feed documents
116
Possible Solution
Make sure that:
• the wall outlet is not defective.
• the power cord is plugged in and the power is on.
• the scanner cover is completely closed.
• the PC was restarted after installing the software.
• the proper power-up sequence was followed, the
scanner’s green light is on, and the software has
enabled scanning.
• documents are making contact with the feed
module.
• the number of documents is less than
approximately 40 sheets of 24 lb bond (90 g/m2)
paper.
• documents meet specifications for size, weight,
and type, etc.
• for thicker documents, you lift the gap release
lever during feeding.
• you check the feed module and separator module
for signs of wear, and replace these parts if
necessary.
• you try powering the scanner down, and then up
again.
If you are feeding a stack of documents (more than
40) at a 25 degree angle, and the transport will not
start, it may be necessary to shingle (stagger) the
bottom documents so the feed rollers can grasp the
first document and start the feeding process.

Problem
Possible Solution
“False” paper jams
are occurring
Check that the ultrasonic multi-feed detector
transmitter and receiver are clean. Debris in these
areas can cause a paper jam error when no
documents have been fed. To clean, refer to
“Cleaning the Ultrasonic Multi-feed Detector” on
page 95.
Documents are jamming or
multiple documents are
feeding
Make sure that:
• the side guides are adjusted for the width of the
documents you are scanning.
• the output tray is adjusted for the length of
documents you are scanning.
• the leading edges of all batched documents are
centered in the automatic document feeder so
that each document will come in contact with the
feed rollers.
• documents with an unusual texture or surface are
fed manually.
• documents meet specifications for size, weight,
type, etc. as outlined in “Document Preparation”
starting on page 32.
• all staples and paper clips have been removed
from the documents.
• all jammed documents have been removed from
the paper transport area.
• the drive rollers and tires are clean.
• the imaging guides are clean.
• the feed module and separator module are clean
and properly installed (replace if worn).
• the spring on the pre-separation module is

Appendix A:
Color Options for Data Collection Forms
Colors can add interest and clarity to your data collection
forms. However, it is important to choose colors that will
drop out (not be read by the scanner) properly. Specific
colors are approved, depending on whether the
respondent uses ink or pencil to fill in the forms. In
addition, if using pencil, you can use up to three colors on
your forms. See the tables in this appendix for listings of
approved colors and color combinations for ink and
pencil read forms.
