Safety Information
Warnings, Cautions, and Notes
Warnings
must be followed carefully to avoid bodily injury.
w
Cautions
must be observed to avoid damage to your equipment.
c
Notes
contain important information and useful tips on the operation of your
printer.
Safety Precautions
Be sure to follow these precautions carefully to ensure safe,
efficient operation:
xiii
❏ Be careful not to touch the fuser, which is marked CAUTION
Hot Surface, or the surrounding areas. If the printer has been
in use, the fuser and the surrounding areas may be very hot.
CAUTION Hot Surface
❏ Avoid touching the components inside the printer unless
instructed to do so in this guide.
❏ Never force the printer’s components into place. Although the
printer is designed to be sturdy, rough handling can damage
it.
xiv
❏ When removing the developer cartridge, never touch the
developing roller under the flap; otherwise, print quality will
decline.
❏ When handling the developer cartridge, always place it on a
clean, smooth surface.
❏ Do not turn the developer cartridge upside down or stand it
on its ends.
❏ Do not attempt to modify or take the developer cartridge
apart. It cannot be refilled.
❏ Do not touch the toner and avoid all contact with your eyes.
❏ If toner is spilled, use a broom and dustpan or a damp cloth
with soap and water to clean it up. Because the fine particles
can cause a fire or explosion if they come into contact with a
spark, do not use a vacuum cleaner.
xv
❏ When removing or installing a photoconductor unit, protect
the light-sensitive drum from exposure to light any longer
than necessary. The light-sensitive drum is the green cylinder
visible through the openings in the unit. Overexposing the
drum might cause abnormally dark or light areas to appear
on the printed page and may shorten the service life of the
unit.
❏ Be careful not to scratch the surface of the drum. When you
remove the photoconductor unit from the printer, always
place the unit on a clean, smooth surface. Avoid touching the
drum, since oils from your skin can permanently damage its
surface and affect print quality.
❏ To get the best print quality, do not store the photoconductor
unit in an area subject to direct sunlight, dust, salt air, or
corrosive gases (such as ammonia). Avoid locations subject to
extreme or rapid changes in temperature or humidity.
❏ Wait for at least one hour before using a developer cartridge
or a photoconductor unit after moving it from a cool to a warm
environment to prevent damage from condensation.
❏ Do not dispose of developer cartridges or photoconductor
units in fire, as they can explode and cause injury. Dispose of
them according to local regulations.
xvi
❏ Be sure to keep consumable components out of the reach of
children.
❏ Do not leave jammed paper inside the printer. This can cause
the printer to overheat.
❏ Avoid using electrical outlets that other appliances are
plugged into.
❏ Use only an outlet that meets the power requirements of this
printer.
Important Safety Instructions
❏ Connect your printer to an electrical outlet that meets the
power requirements of this printer. Your printer’s power
requirements are indicated on a label attached to the printer.
If you are not sure of the power supply specifications in your
area, contact your local power company or consult your
dealer.
❏ If you are unable to insert the AC plug into the electrical
outlet, contact an electrician.
❏ Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions, as improper adjustment of other controls may
result in damage and may require repairs by a qualified
service representative.

Overlay printing (EPL-6200 only)
Overlay printing allows you to prepare standard forms, or
templates, that you can use as overlays when printing other
documents. This feature is useful for creating corporate
letterheads or invoices.
High-quality printing
When using the standard driver provided, the EPL-6200 provides
1200 dpi printing at a speed of up to 10 pages per minute, while
the EPL-6200L provides 600 dpi printing at a speed of up to 20
pages per minute when printing on A4 paper. You’ll appreciate
the professional print quality produced by your printer and its
quick processing speed.
Note:
A memory overflow error may occur when printing at 1200 dpi if the
EPL-6200 only has the default amount of memory installed because
printing at 1200 dpi uses a lot of memory. If you print regularly at 1200
dpi, install more memory into the printer to avoid this error. The printer
should have at least 16 MB of memory installed. If you print at 1200 dpi
in the PostScript mode regularly, it is recommended that you increase
your memory to 32 MB.

28 Paper Handling
Printing on Special Media
Note:
Since the quality of any particular brand or type of paper may be changed
by the manufacturer at any time, EPSON cannot guarantee the quality
of any type of paper. Always test samples of paper stock before purchasing
large quantities or printing large jobs.
The EPL-6200 and EPL-6200L can print on special paper stock
such as labels, envelopes, thick paper, and transparencies.
Labels
You can load up to 10 sheets of labels into the MP tray. However,
you may need to feed some types of labels one sheet at a time.
To prevent the adhesive from coming into contact with printer
parts, always use labels that completely cover the backing sheet
such that no gaps occur between the individual labels.
You should test the label sheet for leaking adhesive by pressing
a sheet of paper on top of a sheet of labels. If the paper sticks to
the label sheet when you lift it off, do not use the labels.

When printing on labels, make sure to choose Labels (EPL-6200)
or Thick Wide (EPL-6200L) from the Paper Type drop-down list
in the printer driver.
Envelopes
You can load up to 10 envelopes into the MP tray, depending on
the envelope thickness (85 to 105 g/m²). Load envelopes with the
flap side down and short edge first.
Paper Handling 29

EPL-6200
EPL-6200L
To print on envelopes, choose Thick Narrow (Windows) or
Thick[N] (Macintosh) from the Paper Type drop-down list in the
printer driver.
30 Paper Handling
The print quality on envelopes may be irregular because different
parts of an envelope have different thicknesses. Print one or two
envelopes to check the print quality. If the printing is too light,
adjust the print density as described in “Print Quality Problems”
on page 389.
Do not use window envelopes unless they are specially designed
for laser printers. The plastic on most window envelopes will melt
when it comes into contact with the hot fuser.

Thick paper
You can load up to 10 sheets of thick paper into the MP tray.
However, you may need to feed some types of thick paper one
sheet at a time. Use thick paper between 90 and 163 g/m² (24 to
43 lb) in weight.
To print on thick paper, be sure to change the Paper Type setting
in the printer driver settings. Choose Thick Narrow (Windows)
or Thick[N] (Macintosh) for thick paper which is less than 160 mm
wide. Choose Thick Wide (Windows) or Thick[W] (Macintosh)
when printing on thick paper which is 188 mm or wider.
Transparencies
You can load up to 5 transparencies into the MP tray. However,
you may need to feed some types of transparencies one sheet at
a time.
You can only use overhead projector transparencies and adhesive
drafting film made for use with laser printers or plain-paper
copiers.

❏ To ensure proper operation, a computer name must be entered into
your computer’s settings. Make sure that there are no invalid
characters in the name. If your printer is shared, the computer name
must be unique to your computer. For instructions on how to set
the computer name, see the documentation for your operation
system.
❏ The screen shots used in this section show the EPL-6200. If your
printer is the EPL-6200L, your screen may look slightly different.
❏ The EPSON Status Monitor 3 is automatically installed together
with the printer driver for the EPL-6200L.
Accessing the printer driver
You can access the printer driver from any application program,
or directly from your Windows operating system.
The printer settings made from many Windows applications
override settings made when the printer driver is accessed from
the operating system, so you should access the printer driver from
your application to make sure you get the result you want.
Note:
Online help provides details on printer driver settings.
❏ To access the printer driver from your application, click the
Print or Page Setup command on the File menu. You also
need to click Setup, Options, Properties, or a combination of
these buttons.

Form To Tray Assignment
Assign the desired paper size to the various available paper
sources. Once this setting is specified, the printer will
automatically feed paper from the paper source that holds the
selected paper size.
The paper source options are MP Tray, Cassette 1, Manual Feed
1st Page, and Manual Feed EachPage. However, the actual
paper sources that are available will differ according to the printer
and the options installed.
The paper sizes that are available will differ according to the
printer. The default setting is either A4 or Letter, depending on
your country of purchase.
Font Substitution Table
Double-click to display the Font Substitution Table and the
options for the TrueType-to-PostScript font mapping.

80 Using the Printer Driver For Windows
Output Protocol
Specify the protocol that the printer will use for print jobs. The
options are ASCII, TBCP, and Binary.
Note:
Binary can only be used with AppleTalk. However, when AppleTalk is
in use, TBCP is unavailable.
If ASCII is selected, print data is sent in the ASCII (7-bit) format,
which may take longer to print, but which can be sent through
any I/O channel, including serial, parallel, and Ethernet.
If you select TBCP (Tagged Binary Communications Protocol), all
data except for special control characters is sent in binary (8-bit)
format. The binary formats can be sent over parallel or serial
communications ports and are faster then sending data in the
ASCII format.
Note:
The Tagged binary communications protocol cannot be used with
AppleTalk.
Send CTRL-D Before Each Job
Specify whether a CTRL+D character should be sent at the
beginning of every PostScript document. CTRL+D at the
beginning-of-file (BOF) will reset your printer to its default
settings to ensure that prior print jobs will not affect the current
print job. However, activating this setting may cause the print job
to fail if it is connected through a network instead of the parallel
or serial interface.

Send CTRL-D After Each Job
Specify whether a CTRL+D character should be sent at the end of
every PostScript document. CTRL+D at the end-of-file (EOF) will
reset your printer to its default settings to ensure that the current
print job will not affect future print jobs. However, activating this
setting may cause the print job to fail if it is connected through a
network instead of the parallel or serial interface.

Job Timeout
Specify the maximum number of seconds that can elapse for a
print job to get from the computer to the printer before the printer
stops trying to print the document. If you enter “0” (zero), the
printer will continue trying to print indefinitely.
Wait Timeout
Specify the maximum number of seconds that the printer will wait
to get more PostScript information from the computer before the
print job is automatically canceled. After the specified time
elapses, the printer will stop trying to print the document and
prints an error message instead. If you enter “0” (zero), the printer
will wait indefinitely. You may want to increase this value when
printing complicated documents.
Minimum Font Size to Download as Outline
Specify the minimum font size (in pixels) for which the printer
driver will download TrueType fonts as outline (Type 1) fonts. A
font smaller than the minimum setting will be downloaded as a
bitmap (Type 3/Type 32) font.
Maximum Font Size to Download as Bitmap
Specify the maximum font size (in pixels) for which the printer
driver will download TrueType fonts as bitmap (Type 3/Type 32)
fonts. A font larger than the maximum setting will be
downloaded as an outline (Type 1) font.
