How do I scan my Answer key?

Fill in a scantron sheet with the correct answers for your exam. Load it into the scanner such that “SIDE 1” is facing up, and the cut-off corner of the sheet is closest to the “Press to Load” button (see picture below). Then press down on the “Press to Load” button to load the edge of the sheet into the feeder.
