# SCAN Forms

> Consolidate multiple labels into a single barcode for faster carrier acceptance

A SCAN Form (Shipment Manifest) is a USPS product that groups multiple shipping labels into a single barcode. When USPS scans the form, all included packages are accepted at once.

***

## How It Works

A SCAN Form is automatically generated when you schedule a USPS pickup. There is no separate step to create one.

1. Select orders with purchased USPS labels from the **Orders** page
2. Click **Schedule Pickup** and complete the pickup form
3. Choose a USPS rate and confirm the pickup
4. A SCAN Form is generated automatically for the batch of labels
5. Once ready, download the PDF from the pickup confirmation screen or from **Manage Pickups**

<Note>
  SCAN Form generation may take a moment. If the PDF isn't available immediately, it will appear in **Manage Pickups** on your dashboard shortly after.
</Note>

## Downloading a SCAN Form

* **After scheduling**: If the form is ready, a **Download Scan Form** button appears on the confirmation screen.
* **Later**: Open the **Pickups** card on your dashboard, click to manage pickups, and download the form from any pickup that has one available.

## Benefits

* All packages accepted in one scan
* First-scan tracking applied across all included shipments
* Fewer missed scans at pickup or drop-off

***

## Tips

* Print the SCAN Form before the carrier arrives
* Keep a copy of the form for your records
