Sending a Print
When a print job is sent to the printer with media loaded, the printer will begin to process the
job and the indicator on the operator panel will begin to pulse. Once the print job has been
completely downloaded to the printer, it will automatically begin to print. You can touch the
Print Queue tab in the Jobs section to see the job processing, or if you touch the Home icon and
return to the Home screen, you will see the status of the processed job displayed. The printer
will print the labels and return to the Printer Ready state when complete.
If a print job is sent and no media has been loaded into the printer, the indicator on the
operator panel will remain red, and an alert will be presented asking the user to load media
into the printer. Once media has been loaded, the print will automatically start.
Use caution when loading media after the “load media” alert has been declared.
As soon as media is detected, the printhead will move toward the media
entrance. Keep hands clear of the printer entrance at all times during printing.
Note that the Callisto does not print on the first die-cut label on a new media load. Also the
printer cannot print on the last die-cut label of a media roll or stack.
Print Job Continuation
If during the printing of labels the printer runs out of media and a new media roll or stack needs
to be loaded into the printer, a media load alert will occur. The printer will keep track of the
label count, allowing the user to complete the job. Note that Job Continuation is found in the
Printer Features section of the operator panel under the Settings icon. It should be on by
default.
Die-Cut Labels
The Callisto printer works with gapped or marked die-cut media. The sensors are near the
center of the printer track. If media with registration marks is to be used, make sure the marks
are accurately placed and black in color. Make sure there are no additional small (tic) marks on
the center of the media. If the media does not have registration marks, the gap between labels
will be used for label placement. Printing by gap will usually provide a better placement result.
Use the printer to print on die-cut labels by setting the correct modes in the printer driver or in
operator panel. Die-cut label printing will use the Labels Print Mode. Die-cut label printing will
use the Black Mark or Gap Mark Mode
