In order to already be able to acceptably affix toner images applied on a print substrate at a beginning of a printing, it is necessary that the heat capacity requirement necessary for this is known. This is dependent on the properties of the print substrate such as its weight, dampness, heat conductivity, etc. A measurement arrangement made up of a reference radiation source and a temperature sensor is provided to determine the heat capacity requirement. The print substrate is irradiated with the reference radiation source. The heat emitted by the print substrate is measured with the temperature sensor. The heat requirement of the print substrate can be determined from the measurement result, for example at a beginning of the printing event.
