AccelTest
User Manual
Scanner
Settings Use this preference to set the scanner
port setting and the scanner
sensitivity.
The port setting tells the computer
where to find the AccelScan scanner
that you have already connected. To
connect the scanner, see the
instructions in the
AccelTest
Software Installation Guide . Then,
start your computer and AccelTest
and open this preference.
You may need to adjust the scanner
sensitivity to allow for differences in
the way students mark scan cards. If
the AccelScan is too sensitive to stray
marks, decrease the sensitivity. If the
AccelScan does not recognize some
marked answers, increase the
sensitivity.
1. Click the Preferences menu and select Scanner
Settings . The Scanner Settings dialog box will open.
2. The scanner status at the bottom of the dialog box will
show you if AccelTest is detecting the scanner. If it is
not, click the
Port drop-down list and choose the
computer port that the scanner is connected to. Wait
while the Scanner Status shows that the program is
searching for the scanner. If AccelTest still does not
detect the scanner, make sure the AccelScan is on (if it
has a switch) and plugged in. You should also check
the AccelScan system requirements for AccelTest at
www.renlearn.com/requirements.
3. If you need to change the scanner sensitivity, click the
pointer and drag it to the left to decrease sensitivity or
drag it to the right to increase sensitivity.
4. Click OK to save your changes.

school year information, including
the start and end dates for the school
year, the number of terms and the
start and end dates for the terms. If

semester. Changing the school year
affects the calculation of student
marks. Your school year and terms
should be set up before you start
scoring student assignments. 1. Click the Preferences menu and select School
Year .
2. Read the text in the Welcome panel of the Wizard or

click Next .
5. Enter the start and end date for each term and click
Next .
6. If you entered 4 or 6 terms, the program will ask you to
choose the number of terms per semester from a drop-
down list. If your terms are not grouped into
semesters, click
Not Applicable . If they are, choose
the number of semesters. Click Next to continue.
7. Check the information in the Summary. If it is correct,
click Done ; if not, click Back to go back and make
changes.
