Sets a minimum dry time between pages to ensure that a previous page dries before the next page is dropped on top of it.

The time required for ink to dry depends on media, print modes, and environment (tempera- ture and humidity). For example, transparencies may need over 10 minutes in an unheated, damp environment.

Esc E resets the dry timer to the default value of 0.

The Dry Timer function has been incorporated into the Media Type/Print Quality command

!combination. The parameters specified for those commands determine the Dry Timer set- ting. Although some HP DeskJet 600/800/900 & HP 2000 Series printers will respond to this command, the command is considered obsolete. Dependence on the command should be removed from your application.

The HP DeskJet 600/800/900 & HP 2000 Series printers use the following values as Dry Timer defaults when Media Type and Print Quality commands are used:
