Jobs/History
Overview
Every time you submit mail pieces to the USPS from the Mail Queue, a new job with a unique job ID is created. Mail pieces that are submitted at the same time become part of the same job unless those pieces have multiple drop ZIP Codes. A complete PS Form 3877 (Firm Mailing Book for Accountable Mail) and PS Form 5630 (SCAN Form) is associated with every job.
