2. Select a shipment

3. Press the Ship button, ShipRush pops up (Note that ShipRush needs to always be running in system tray).

(If you get a Windows File Download popup to Open/Save the file, select Open)

You are now looking at ShipRush.  Enter the shipment weight (or use an electronic scale to import the weight automatically), and other shipment details:

4. Process shipment in ShipRush by pressing Ship.  The bar coded shipping label prints, and the RMS Shipping Information form is now updated to look like this (note that the Tracking Number and Charges have been updated):

5. Close the Shipping Information form by pressing OK.

6. Done!

Note that for ShipRush to automatically read the shipping service from RMS, the shipping service in RMS must be named in a way that ShipRush expects.
