Optical Mark Reader is a
low cost, desktop data entry terminal for detecting marks on scannable
forms and transfer data to a computer via standard serial or USB
communications for processing by application software.
Significantly faster than keyboard entry, the
Optical Mark Reader reads one side of an input form automatically and
without error as it scans and transports data. Once the form has been
scanned, the resulting data string is terminated by a carriage return
(CR) and is automatically transported to the communications port of the
attached computer.
