16 Print Manager : Scan Forms What is a SCAN Form? The USPS Shipment Confirmation Acceptance Notice, known as a SCAN Form, is a piece of paper with a master barcode that includes all the packages associated with a group shipment. At the time of pick-up, the USPS employee scans the barcode on the SCAN form to disseminate tracking info for all the packages rather than scanning each package individually. This single step saves a lot of time for USPS employees. When using a SCAN Form: All packages must be shipped the same day the shipping labels are printed Each package can be associated with only one SCAN Form SCAN Forms must be used in conjunction with electronic USPS Tracking or electronic Signature Confirmation Updates or changes cannot be made once a SCAN Form is printed; If you make an update or change, your SCAN Form is no longer valid and all packages associated with that form must be scanned individually.
