Use of the term 'booklet' refers to documents
that consist of 2 or more sheets that are processed
as a single entity. Booklets are assessed the basic
scanning charge plus one cent for each sheet comprising
the booklet.
Volume discounts are offered for the scanning
charges of single-sheet documents based on the total
number of sheets scanned for a given account within
each month:
|
first 5000 sheets
|
100% charge
|
|
second 5000 sheets
|
75% charge
|
|
excess of 10,000 sheets
|
50% charge

Typically, up to 200 sheets can be processed in 10
minutes. Large jobs requiring minimal operator intervention
are processed at approximately 2500 sheets per hour.
Charges for operator time are assessed
for creating IDQ questionnaires and for scanning the
answer sheets. A minimum of 10 minutes is assessed for
each occasion of each activity. Beyond the minimum charge,
operator time can be inflated by the following situations:
- Generation of IDQ Questionnaires:
- unusual requests such as producing a questionnaire
containing many unique questions
- submitting separate requisitions for each
class
- requisitions causing uncertainty that require
a number of phone calls in order to discover
what is being requested.
- Scanning Time:
- poorly marked forms including those using
liquid pens, miscoded id-numbers, cross-outs
rather than erasures
- jobs submitted in disarray, e.g., forms not
oriented in consistent direction, damaged forms
- use of the MRSCOR program.
