A system and method are provided for acquiring data in a computer syste m. The present system and method provide a distinct advantage in that a loc al printer/scanner is employed to perform data acquisition to a central server or other system, etc. In one embodiment, the present system includes a processor circuit having a processor and a memory. Stored on the processor and executable by the memo ry is scan/correction logic. The scan/correction logic includes logic to obtain a set of coordinates of a response area on a digital form and logic to transmit the coordinates to a scanning apparatus to scan a hardcopy form at the coordinates to determine a response recorded thereon. The hardcopy form is associated with the digital form. Finally, the scan/correction logic includes logic to store the response received from the scanner/printer apparatus in an answer file in the memory.
