CAS ScanTron Information

This page is to assist faculty and staff in the use of the ScanTron machine and ParScore software that is housed in the TIC. When complete, this page will contain information about getting set up to use the ScanTron, Training Opportunities and ScanTron Form Order information. Please be patient while I am preparing the information that will appear on the site.

When ordering forms, you may be asked to supply the vendor with the ScanTron Model and Serial Number. We have a ScanMark ES2800. The Serial Number is EE-02936 and we are running ParSCORE software version 6.5. Please make sure that the forms you purchase meet ALL these requirments.

This is a PENCIL Read Scanner ONLY. It has no printer, so scores are not printed on the ScanTron Sheets. If you wish to use this ScanTron, you should have the ParSCORE client software installed on your computer, a Username, Password and a folder on the ParScore Network Drive assigned to you and the ParScore drive mapped to your computer.

If you are interested in using the ScanTron and the ParScore software or need further information, please contact via Email or call 622-2395.

Installing Client Software on PC Computers
(not available for Mac clients)

Follow the instructions below to install the client software on your PC.

• Double click on My Computer —> ekudata on ‘filesrv’ (N:) —> College —> cas —> parScore —> setupc.exe
• Click Install and agree to and/or follow all defaults
• When the main installation is complete, the setup will then install a Microsoft XML Parser. This should install within a couple of seconds.
• Once installation has completed and you get the box that says Client setup was completed successfully, click OK

You are now ready to map the network drive on to your computer so that it is available whenever you log in.

• Double click on My Computer
• Click once on Tools —> Map Network Drive
• When the box appears, next to Drive, go to the drop down menu and choose the drive letter Y: (if Y is in use by something else, please call Melanie Bentley at 2-2395 before continuing)
• Now go to the Folder area and click on the browse button. Work your way through the directory structure by clicking on the + (plus) signs next to each folder until you reach the parScore folder as follows:
  Entire Netowrk —> Microsoft Windows Network —> Facultystaff —> Filesrv —> EKUData —> Colleges —>cas —>ParScore    (lists can be very long and items may be difficult to find, but remember that everything is in alphabetical order.)
• When you reach the ParScore folder, click ONCE on the ParScore folder then click OK
• Now, make sure that the reconnect at logon box is checked and click finish.

Now, each time you log on to your computer, your Y: drive should be connected to the ParScore folder. To run the program, you will want to run PSWIN.EXE. You should be able to make a shortcut on your desktop to this file if you wish. You should save all your data in your folder on the Y: drive under faculty_data_folders. Each faculty member who has requested an account, will have a folder here. If you do not, please fill out an account request form (above). DO NOT SAVE ANY FILES HERE OTHER THAN PARSCORE FILES!!!

If you create PDF files or excel files from your data, please save these files to your U: drive as only data files that are created by the ParScore software are secure!
