Configure VxCentralScan

Note: the following steps must be completed by the Election Manager.

Save Ballot Package

To configure VxCentralScan, you must first save the ballot package from VxAdmin to a USB drive.

Load Ballot Package

Once the ballot package is saved to a USB drive, you can load the file to VxCentralScan.

Setup the VxCentralScan hardware and turn on the VxCentralScan laptop. VxCentralScan is Not Configured will be displayed.

Using an Election Manager card, unlock the machine. Then follow the prompt to insert the USB drive with the ballot package. The ballot package will automatically load.

When fully configured, follow the prompt to eject the USB.

VxCentralScan is now configured and in Test Mode. The screen will show No ballots have been scanned and election summary information (name, date, county, etc.) will be shown at the bottom of the screen.

VxCentralScan is now ready for scanning.
