There you just add the package by package number, entering or scanning, or you can add a range, and then verify the weight and click on the Endicia button to immediately print the label. Once printed the ship date is set on the package/invoice and the delivery confirmation is imported into the package’s tracking number field.

			CMS is capable of high levels of shipping automation with UPS and USPS if properly configured. This can be as fast and simple as placing a package on the scale, scanning its bar-code, and the label will print out. This requires a compatible scale and scanner, a list of which can be found on our [http://wiki.newhavensoftware.com/index.php/CMS_System_Requirements System Requirements] page. Please contact NHS Support for assistance with setting up these peripherals and related automation options.

=== Endicia Errors ===
*When sending a shipment to Endicia via the CMS manifest, this error comes up: '''Error creating printer device context, cannot print'''. This is because there is no printer set up for the current layout. To fix:
# Click OK on the error dialog.
# Click '''File->Printer Setup...'''.
#* Note that the Printer, Paper Feed Source, and Printer Paper Size fields are blank.
# Select the appropriate printer from the drop-down.
# Select a paper source from the list.
# Select a Printer Paper Size that matches the destination media.
# Check the box labeled "Save Printer Information with Layout".
# Click OK.
# Click '''File->Save Layout'''.
Export the order from CMS again - this time it should print normally.

*Endicia reports it is in '''Test Mode'''
#Start by confirming that CMS is not in Test Mode by verifying the checkbox in Setup>Shipping>Shipping Choices>Endicia
#If that is confirmed to be off and you've restarted CMS, there is likely a problem with the template in DaZzle. Someone has likely edited it or not set it up correctly so it does not match the shipping type setup in CMS, for example. Remember that CMS requires you to use a unique DaZzle layout for each USPS service type (shipping method) and each layout's method must match the method in CMS it has been associated with.

*Here are possible error responses Dazzle may report back and their meanings (per the Dazzle integration docs)
'''Value Description'''
‐3 Address Verification failed (return code less than 25)
‐4 Unsupported mail class for international mail or invalid weight/rate values
‐6 USPS Delivery Confirmation error – denied, service unavailable or communication error
‐7 USPS Express Mail error – denied, service unavailable or communication error
‐8 USPS Customs Forms error – denied, service unavailable or communication error
‐9 International Mail Shipping Label (large or small) processing error
‐10 CONFIRM service error – denied, service unavailable or communication error
‐11 Express Mail International, Priority Mail International, or First‐Class Mail International Error–no “to phone” for mail addressed to P. O. Boxes.
