Setting the Preheat Platen Temperature:
The Preheat selection in the Forms Characteristics box allows you to adjust
the temperature of the preheat platen for optimum fusing of different types
of forms, such as labels or heavy-stock forms. The default temperature is
80°C, which is acceptable for regular forms.
If you are defining a form that requires a preheat platen temperature above
or below 80°C, you can enter another temperature in increments of 5°; that
is, you can enter temperatures such as 70°, 75°, 85° or 90°C. The minimum
temperature you can set is 45°C; the maximum temperature you can set is
100°C.
d. To set or change the preheat platen temperature, do the following:
v SELECT the Preheat field. A keypad window appears.
v To use the default temperature, enter 0 (zero) on the keypad and SELECT
the OK pushbutton.
Note: The default temperature is set under the Configure Printer menu.

increments of 5 degrees (for example, 50, 55 or 60). SELECT the OK
pushbutton.
