Label Guidelines for Arkscan Thermal Shipping Label Printers (2054A, 2054K, 2054N, 3044C)

1. Use Thermal Direct labels
The printer requires Thermal Direct paper. Thermal Transfer labels are not compatible.

2. Avoid labels with dark printing on the back
The back of the label must not contain dark logos or text. Lightly printed backs, such as those on UPS and FedEx labels, are acceptable.

3. Zebra compatible labels are recommended
Zebra compatible labels in all sizes work reliably with these printers.
Most Dymo compatible 4 by 6 labels will print correctly, but some fail due to dark images or text printed on the backing. For this reason, Dymo compatible labels are not recommended, and Dymo formats under 3 inches in width usually do not work.

4. Supported label types
Black Mark labels and Continuous labels are supported. For the most accurate tracking, labels with a gap between each label are recommended.

5. Supported label dimensions
The printer can handle labels from 0.75 inches to 4.25 inches in width, and from 0.375 inches to 90 inches in height.
Most standard shipping labels such as UPS, USPS and FedEx are 4 inches wide and 6 inches tall.
