Configuring Printer Settings

To ensure successful printing of Aims Web Student Testing Tickets, it is crucial to configure your printer settings appropriately. Here are the detailed steps:

1. Selecting the Printer

Before proceeding, ensure that your preferred printer is selected as the default printing device. You can access the printer selection options through your computer’s settings or control panel.

2. Setting Paper Size and Orientation

Configure the printer to use the correct paper size and orientation. For Aims Web Student Testing Tickets, the recommended paper size is “Letter” (8.5 x 11 inches) in portrait (vertical) orientation.

3. Printer-Specific Settings

Depending on the printer model, there may be additional settings that require customization. To optimize print quality and ticket alignment, consider the following suggestions:

Print Quality: Select the highest print quality setting available for crisp and clear tickets.
Margins: Adjust the margins to ensure that the entire ticket is printed within the paper boundaries.
Paper Type: Select the appropriate paper type (e.g., plain paper, cardstock) to match the ticket paper.
Duplex Printing: Disable duplex printing to avoid double-sided printing of tickets.

Printer Setting	Value
Paper Size	Letter (8.5 x 11 inches)
Orientation	Portrait (vertical)
Print Quality	Highest available setting
Margins	Adjusted to fit ticket within paper
Paper Type	Match ticket paper type
Duplex Printing	Disabled

Once the printer settings are configured appropriately, you can proceed to print the Aims Web Student Testing Tickets with confidence.

Handling Special Characters

To ensure accurate printing of student testing tickets, it is essential to handle special characters with care. AIMS Web recognizes a range of characters from different alphabets and languages. However, some special characters may not be supported by all printers or operating systems. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid using these special characters when generating student names and other information.

If you encounter issues with printing tickets due to special characters, consider using the following strategies:

Replace special characters with their English equivalents, such as using “ae” instead of “æ” or “o” instead of “ø”.
Convert special characters to Unicode, which is a universal character encoding standard. To do this, you can use an online tool or a programming language.
Contact AIMS Web support for assistance with identifying and resolving specific character printing issues.

The following table lists some common special characters that may cause printing problems and provides alternative representations:

Special Character	Alternative Representation
æ	ae
ø	o
é	e
'	‘
*	*

Printing Large Numbers of Tickets

When printing large numbers of student testing tickets, it is important to ensure that the process is efficient and accurate. Follow these steps to print large numbers of tickets:

1. Create a CSV File

Create a comma-separated value (CSV) file that contains the following information for each student:

Student ID
Last name
First name
Grade
Homeroom
Test date
Test time

For example, a CSV file might look like this:

student_id,last_name,first_name,grade,homeroom,test_date,test_time
100000,Smith,John,3,101,2023-05-10,08:00 AM
100001,Jones,Mary,4,102,2023-05-10,09:00 AM
100002,Brown,David,5,103,2023-05-10,10:00 AM

2. Use a Ticket Printing Software

Use a software program that supports the printing of large numbers of student testing tickets. Many software programs are available, such as Batch Ticket Printer, Student Ticket Maker, and Ticket Generator.

3. Import the CSV File

Import the CSV file into the ticket printing software. The software will use the information in the CSV file to create the student testing tickets.

4. Preview and Print the Tickets

Preview the tickets to ensure that they are correct. Then, print the tickets on a high-quality printer.

5. Store the Tickets Securely

Store the tickets in a secure location until they are needed.

6. Distribute the Tickets to Students

Distribute the tickets to students on the day of the test. Ensure that each student receives the correct ticket.

7. Collect the Tickets After the Test

Collect the tickets from students after the test. Keep the tickets for your records.

Verifying Ticket Accuracy

Once you have printed the AIMs Web Student Testing Tickets, it is essential to verify their accuracy to ensure that students are taking the correct assessments. Here are nine steps to help you verify ticket accuracy:

Check Student Information: Ensure that the student’s name, ID number, and grade level match their school records.
Confirm Test Type: Verify that the test type indicated on the ticket (e.g., Reading, Math, Science) aligns with the intended assessment.
Examine Item Set and Grade: Check that the item set and grade level displayed on the ticket correspond to the appropriate student level and test.
Verify Testing Duration: The ticket should clearly state the allotted time for the assessment. Ensure that the time aligns with the designated testing period.
Check Browser Requirements: Ensure that the ticket includes instructions on the minimum browser requirements for the online assessment.
Review Test URL and Access Code: Verify that the test URL and access code printed on the ticket are correct and lead to the intended assessment platform.
Examine the QR Code: Scan the QR code using a QR code reader to confirm that it directs to the correct assessment.
Verify Printed Format: Ensure that the tickets are printed in a legible and clear format, without any ink smudging or missing information.
Check for Inconsistencies: Compare the data on the ticket with the student information in your school system to identify any discrepancies or errors. If any inconsistencies are found, contact the assessment coordinator or technical support for assistance.
