Plustek,
one of the global leaders in imaging and communication products,
today introduced Plustek SmartOffice PS286 bundled with ACE Office
OMR Solution.
Targeted
at the front office usage of the education vertical - primary /
secondary and higher education, small and medium enterprises (SMEs),
hospitals, law firms, CPA firms, BFSI, healthcare, government,
hospitality industry, service centers etc., it is a highly versatile
and affordable duplex color scanner in the sheet-fed range.
With
ACE OMR, the utility of the scanner becomes more compelling than
before as the exchange of information becomes real fast. For example,
it is really effective for the school, teachers, parents and students
if the results are declared within short time of the examination. All
‘Multiple Choice Questions’ (MCQs) in the Objective Type
examinations are primarily done for testing the conceptual strength
of the students. But the real problem arises when the teachers are
made to check them and prepare the result in hard format as it
requires the clerical job to be done repeatedly. With ACE OMR
Solutions, they can actually concentrate on their own work rather
than doing this menial job.
With
OMR, Plustek SmartOffice PS286 is capable of reading 25 pages per
minute and reads both pen and pencil scripts also. It can convert the
output data into MS Excel sheet grids instantly without the
requirement of special OMR paper input which comes at a high price.
It can help the schools to print the OMR forms through simple black
and white laser printer on normal paper as per their requirement.
ACE
OMR costs much lower then the traditional OMR solutions. ACE OMR can
be adjusted to the forms of the customers and changed as per the
requirement of the user. Actually, ACE OMR system is the redefined
technology especially meant for organizations with smaller budgets
for testing. Plustek scanner with OMR technology is portable and can
be easily carried from one place to other. You do not need to place
order for special OMR form sheets which is a cumbersome and
expensive, not to forget the long time it takes for the special
sheets to be printed as per customer’s requirement. Customer’s
can make use of Plustek’s innovation if the job is to be done
at a short notice.
Apart
from the school requirement, there is a huge demand from the
government, BFSI and insurance sectors to save cost in the variable
scanning and printing jobs. Among the work group scanners available
today in the market, the SmartOffice PS286 with ACE OMR is absolutely
smart, small and compact. The 50-sheet automatic document tray
accepts a variety of documents from business card to legal papers. It
is also specially designed for plastic cards such as embossed
insurance ID cards and driver licenses. The inbuilt TWAIN and Windows
WIA drivers enable the scanner to be compatible with virtually any
imaging software. What’s more, Plustek’s SmartOffice
PS286 allows files to be shared over the network as well.

walk-in potential customers and the sales cycle can be cut short. One
