10.6.2
Dry Timer
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:
