According to the manual for the HP4L, the fuser is 180C.
But the specs on the media call out 200C for 0.1 seconds.

This is a relatively short time relative to the 2-3 minutes
recommended for the iron method.
And the thermal mass is approximately zero compared to the board.

Would be interesting to have some experimental data with actual
numbers.
