2. Tour of the Callisto Printer
Callisto Printing Technology
NeuraLabel’s Callisto Printer is based on state-of-the-art PageWide™ printing technology
developed by Hewlett Packard. The 12-inch wide stationary printhead is made up of 14
individual printhead dies that work together to create a seamless print. Because the printhead
is stationary, fast printing speeds, up to 18 inches per second (or 90 feet per minute), are
possible. Note that speed is related to file resolution, complexity and width. Different size and
complexity labels will need to be printed at different speeds. Label copies will print more
quickly than unique label pages. While label copies may print at speeds up to 18 inches per
second, unique or sequenced labels will usually need to print at slower speeds.
The Callisto printer also includes a precision encoder and mechanical drive system for accurate
printing, a machined aluminum frame for light-weight robustness, and advanced media
detection sensors and algorithms. User-printer interaction is accomplished through a 7-inch
touch display or through the printer’s web server visible anywhere on your local network. The
Windows-based printer driver provides built-in controls such as quality and speed selection,
color tuning, and ink saving.
The following sections provide an introductory tour of the Callisto Printer and its various
components.
Callisto Printer Media Entrance Side
Facing the printer front, media is loaded into the printer on the right-hand side. The printer
entrance has center-based adjustable guides to fit any size label media up to 12.1 inches wide.
A lock nut allows the guides to be locked into place.
It is critical to allow adequate room for the media to enter the printer. Large fanfold labels such
as drum labels may be stacked at least 12-18 inches away on a table next to the printer
entrance, or they may be pulled from a box on the floor as long as there are no obstructions to
the media path. Make sure the media box lid is completely removed and make sure there is no
plastic in the box.
The Callisto Ink Door lifts out and up to access the ink cartridges. Lift the ink door to install and
replace cartridges. The four high-capacity color cartridges slide into their respective slots and
snap into place. Only Callisto ink, available from NeuraLabel, will work in the Callisto printer.
