Callisto Print Software

Gain total control of print management across your entire network. Callisto is a powerful solution which is capable of monitoring and manipulating print functions. Callisto saves you time and enables you to gain maximum efficiency from your printers.

With Callisto, a virtual print queue is created that appears to users as a single printer. A number of alternative devices can then be defined which could service the print request. If a printer goes off-line for any reason, printing is automatically re-directed to an alternative device. There are options for load balancing across printers. These include combining the power of available printers to optimise print engine speed and setting maximum job sizes for individual printers.

Office departments typically produce documents that demand a higher specification machine just to cope with this task. With Callisto, these jobs can now be shared between printers in the same or even different departments. This means that you can now have lower volume machines that meet daily requirements and which can also be shared when increased volume is required. Callisto can be configured to allow re-routing of print jobs to another similar printer when your assigned printer is unable to print.

Benefits

Run Printers at Maximum Efficiency. Large numbers of multiple copy documents can be split into a number of whole copy jobs and directed to alternative print queues. This increases the print engine speed to the sum of the utilised printers. Time Saving on Print Jobs. Print jobs will automatically re-direct from a device which is unavailable to an alternative print queue for immediate printing. Re-directing jobs ensures minimal disruptions in printing services. Full User Notification, if a print job is re-directed, a notification is sent to the user stating that a job has been re-directed, and to which device it has been sent.
