Configure VxCentralScan

Before you configure VxCentralScan, you must set up the machine. Follow the steps in the VxCentralScan Hardware Setup.

To configure VxCentralScan, you must do two things in VxAdmin:

1. Save the election package to a USB drive.

2. Create an election manager card.

Load Election Package

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

Set up the VxCentralScan hardware and turn on the VxCentralScan laptop.

Use an election manager card to unlock the machine. Insert the USB drive with the election package. The election package will automatically load.

VxCentralScan is now configured and in test mode. The screen will show No ballots have been scanned and election summary information (name, date, jurisdiction, etc.) will be shown in the bottom left corner of the screen.

VxCentralScan is now ready for scanning.

Remove Election

To remove an election package and reset VxCentralScan:

• Insert an Election Manager Card

• Select Settings from the side menu

• Select Unconfigure Machine

• Confirm by selecting Delete All Election Data

You can now reconfigure VxCentralScan with a different election package.
