1. Tested Workhorse: Canon imageFORMULA DR-C240
Our primary tested workhorse scanner is the Canon imageFORMULA DR-C240. It delivers high-speed automated document feeding, robust mechanical paper handling, and exceptional optical clarity for bubble sheet evaluation.
The DR-C240 features an automatic document feeder (ADF) capacity of up to 60 sheets and achieves scanning speeds of up to 45 pages per minute (90 images per minute in duplex mode). Its ultrasonic double-feed detection ensures that overlapping sheets are never missed during a high-speed grading session.
Canon DR-C240 Workhorse
Equipped with a 60-sheet ADF, 45 ppm / 90 ipm scan speeds, and heavy-duty daily duty cycle.
Ultrasonic Double-Feed Sensor
Hardware acoustic sensors detect multiple overlapping sheets instantly, preventing missed pages.
2. Popular ADF Scanners: Fujitsu, Epson, HP & Avision
Beyond Canon, OMRpro connects seamlessly with all popular high-speed document scanners via standard TWAIN drivers. Supported models include the Fujitsu / Ricoh fi-series (fi-8170, fi-7160), Epson WorkForce series (DS-530 II, DS-570W, DS-770 II), HP ScanJet Pro / Enterprise, and Avision (AD240, AD345).
You do not need to purchase expensive proprietary OMR machines. Connect your scanner via USB or local network, load your sheets into the feeder tray, and initiate high-speed evaluation directly from the OMRpro desktop interface.
Fujitsu & Epson ADF Scanners
Full compatibility with Fujitsu fi-series, Epson WorkForce, HP ScanJet, and Avision ADF scanners.
Universal TWAIN & Watch Folder

3. Watch Folder & Accepted File Formats
In addition to direct TWAIN scanning, OMRpro includes watch folder (hot folder) support. You can configure multi-function copiers or network scanners to deposit scanned images into a designated local directory for automated background evaluation.
The software accepts standard image formats: PNG, BMP, JPG, and TIFF. Multi-page PDF files are not accepted; images are processed as clean, high-resolution single-sheet files.

Expensive 100+ GSM specialized forms are a thing of the past. OMRpro evaluates answer sheets printed on standard 70-80 GSM paper using any office laser or inkjet printer.
Combined with the Canon DR-C240 or any popular ADF scanner, institutions comfortably evaluate 1,500 sheets in 15 minutes with 99.9% accuracy, keeping recurring exam supply costs to a bare minimum.
