Adjusting The Preheat Temperature - IBM INFO PRINT 3000 Operator's Manual

Adjusting the Preheat Temperature

The Preheat selection in Form Characteristics box of the Define Form window
allows you to increase the preheat platen temperature to enhance fusing of labels
or heavy-stock forms. You increase or decrease the temperature in increments of 5°
until optimum fusing is achieved. You should not use the lower temperature
settings to print on some synthetic forms, such as vinyl- or latex-impregnated
forms.
When you are using regular forms, the temperature should be set to the default
value. The default value is set in "Printer Configuration".
To adjust the preheat platen temperature, do the following:
v SELECT the Configure pull-down menu on the main Display Touch Screen
v SELECT the Define Form procedure.
v SELECT the Form Name for which you want to change the preheat temperature.
v SELECT the Preheat field. A keypad window appears.
v ENTER the new temperature in increments of 5° (such as 75°, 85°, 90°).
v SELECT the OK pushbutton.
v Print several hundred feet of forms at the new temperature.
v Check the fusing to see if it is acceptable. If it is not, repeat the procedure.
