Temperature
Setting Before printing begins, the Transfer Roller will automatically adjust
itself to the new temperature setting. (Note: This new temperature
setting will remain programmed within the Printer until it is once again
changed within the Printer Driver or until the Printer is turned OFF.)

automatically reset itself and return to its default temperature the next
time the Printer is turned ON.
