What is a SCAN Form?

A USPS SCAN Form, or Shipment Confirmation Acceptance Notice, allows USPS to scan a single barcode to process multiple packages at once. This saves time for postal workers and shippers, especially those who send many orders each day.

Postsale's USPS End of Day reconciles shipment information for your USPS shipments and allows you to print a SCAN Form for your driver. Typically, the SCAN Form is generated after all shipments are completed for the day and are printed before the shipments are given to USPS. However, if you need to continue shipping, End of Day can be performed multiple times throughout the day as needed.

This article will walk you through performing a USPS End of Day and how to view and print previously generated SCAN Forms.
