Zusammenfassung:	A method of operating a printer turns off a support structure heater when the printer enters standby mode. The print head is then moved away from an intermediate transfer surface supported by a support structure. Heat settings used to heat a print head are then varied to heat the print head and the support structure. Another method of operating a printer turns off a support structure heater when the printer enters standby mode and holds a print head adjacent to an intermediate transfer surface while the printer is in standby mode.
