English translation:Case 1 which has been written about previously in the text
Explanation:
It's a way of referring to what they've written about previously. Here's the document
---------
Case 1
blah blah blah auto-scoring is not turned on

Discussion
Some other text.
Note that in case 1, above, auto-scoring is not turned on
---------

If the case was discussed afterwards, it would say "case 1, below".
Note that there should be a comma after Case 1, and I would capitalise Case too.

agree  B D Finch: Ditto Brigitte's comment. You are too generous!
