# How do I print a SCAN form?

## Learn about how useful a SCAN Form (shipping manifest) is and how it helps expedite your USPS package hand off.

The USPS SCAN form (or Shipping Manifest) is a single sheet of paper that lists of all the shipments you're about to send out. This sheet of paper comes in handy when shipping multiple packages at a time because it allows the postal worker to enter all of your packages into the system without having to do an individual scan. But there are a few things to know about generating and using a USPS Shipping Manifest.

 

To generate a shipping manifest you must be on the Orders/ Ship page. At the top right of the orders page you'll see a printer icon that, when clicked, will show you a list of printing options. Choose USPS Manifest from that menu to generate your manifest! The manifest will automatically include all eligible orders.

An order is eligible for a manifest if it has a label that was BOTH **purchased** AND **printed** with a ship date on the current date.

 

There will be a list of specific orders that ARE included and ARE NOT included on the manifest. If a package is showing as ineligible for a manifest that is OK! The label is still a valid and can be used to ship to your customer. You just need to make sure those packages are scanned in directly by your postal worker! 

Make sure to generate your manifest BEFORE 8 pm PST or 9 pm PDT on the day that you purchase AND print your shipping label or you will not be able to generate a manifest for those orders

 

You can generate multiple manifests in any given day. We recommend that you generate a manifest at the end of any shipping session since you never know when you'll get too busy to come back! We also recommend that you print the manifest immediately when it generates. You may be able to find a copy of all of your recent manifests in "Your Recent Manifests" section if you do need to print the manifest again. This will only show manifests generated in the last 7 days so ensure that you are printing them quickly!
