<p>A data collection device (10) for collecting polling data includes a housing (12), a visual character display (28) and slot opening (24) on the front face of the device. A central processor (50) stores data, including preprogrammed data and collected data in a primary memory, and controls operation of the components of the device, such as optical mark reader (60). The optical mark reader pulls a pre-printed data card through the slot opening for scanning data thereon and transferring the data to the primary memory for storage therein. A bar code reader and/or a magnetic strip reader (70) on the device reads encoded data on a respondent's identification card, so that the encoded data may also be transferred to the primary memory for storage. The device interconnects with external components such as a remote computer (100) and/or printer (99) to generate and print reports based on the collected data.</p> |
