The short answer is yes!
No more uncertainty whether you have sufficiently filled in the bubble outline or the marked
area is dark enough. With the onscreen, you just click and the bubble is marked. Erasures are
even more problematic since the sensitivity of the scanner varies across the form. Again, with
the onscreen, just click a marked bubble and it's gone! You get positive feed back both when
you mark or erase a bubble.
Since the onscreen knows all bubble positions, there is no possibility of marking outside the
bubble outline or marking too lightly. Therefore, no misreads of of bubbles can occur with the
OnScreen. With the scanner stray marks can be pickup as bubbles. Since adjacent bubbles
are only .03 inches apart horizontally, its possible for a mark to spill into the next bubble with
paper forms. If the paper form enters the scanner read head on an angle (called skew), the
scanner can misread the marked bubble position. This cannot happen with paperless entry.
The guide boxes make marking rows and columns of large arrays easier and more accurate.
This is especially true on arrays that span the entire width of a page.
You will never see the error box form ID invalid with the onscreen. That's because the
onscreen knows which form you are marking. Unlike the paper forms, there are no form ID
marks at the bottom of the form image.
There are no mechanical or electronic parts in the onscreen to breakdown or fail. No lost days
waiting for a replacement scanner to arrive. Remember you can run the OnScreen on all
workstations in your office.
You will never have paper jams with the OnScreen.
