Uploading Exams and Marking Zones
After students complete the exam, collect, disassemble, and scan the pages for upload to Uflo.Scanning Best Practices
Scan quality directly affects how accurately Uflo can identify student submissions and grade handwritten responses. Follow these guidelines for the best results:- Use a flatbed or automatic document feeder (ADF) scanner for bulk scanning. Smartphone camera apps can work but are less reliable at scale.
- Scan in black and white at 150 DPI minimum. 300 DPI is preferred for small handwriting.
- Save as a single multi-page PDF, not individual image files.
- Disable automatic image enhancements (“auto-rotate,” “skip blank pages,” “crop to content”) as these can alter orientation or remove pages.
- Scan all pages in the same orientation (portrait or landscape).
** Best Practice**After scanning, scroll through the PDF to verify pages are scanned in the same orientation, QR codes are visible, and no pages are missing or duplicated.
Marking Zones

Review Zones
Uflo automatically detects important landmarks on each template page: student identifiers, page numbers, QR codes, questions, and response boxes.Review each template page to ensure all detected boundaries are correct. If a boundary is misaligned, drag the handles to adjust it. Boundaries are allowed to overlap.
No QR Codes? Use Page NumbersIf the exam was printed without QR codes, use page numbers to identify and order pages.
