PRECAUTIONS
Precautionary notations throughout the text are categorized relative to 1)Personal injury and 2) damage to equipment. DANGER WARNING Signals a precaution which, if ignored, could result in serious or fatal personal injury. Great caution should be exercised in performing procedures preceded by DANGER Headings. Signals a precaution which, if ignored, could result in damage to equipment.
The precautionary measures itemized below should always be observed when performing repair/maintenance procedures.
DANGER
1. 2. 3. 4.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE PRODUCT FROM THE POWER SOURCE AND PERIPHERAL DEVICES PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR PROCEDURES. NO WORK SHOULD BE PERFORMED ON THE UNIT BY PERSONS UNFAMILIAR WITH BASIC SAFETY MEASURES AS DICTATED FOR ALL ELECTRONICS TECHNICIANS IN THEIR LINE OF WORK. WHEN PERFORMING TESTING AS DICTATED WITHIN THIS MANUAL, DO NOT CONNECT THE UNIT TO A POWER SOURCE UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO DO SO. WHEN THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE MUST BE CONNECTED, USE EXTREME CAUTION IN WORKING ON POWER SUPPLY AND OTHER ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS. WHEN DISASSEMBLING OR ASSEMBLING A PRODUCT, MAKE SURE TO WEAR GLOVES TO AVOID INJURIER FROM METAL PARTS WITH SHARP EDGES.
WARNING
1. REPAIRS ON EPSON PRODUCT SHOULD BE PERFORMED ONLY BY AN EPSON CERTIFIED REPAIR TECHNICIAN.
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

Safety Precautions
To prevent accidents during a maintenance procedure, strictly observe the Warnings and Cautions and never depart from the instructions given in this document. Do not do anything that is dangerous even if not specifically described in this manual. In work operations, always take great care to ensure safety in consideration of not only the precautions described below but also general safety precautions.

Laser Safety
This printer is digital equipment qualified as a Class 1 laser product. You will not be exposed to the danger of a laser beam as long as you observe strictly the precautions given in this manual. Be sure to wear a laser protection goggle that meets the applied specifications, whenever necessary. Be sure to turn off the power to the printer beforehand when you start work around the print head or on the laser beam path around the Photoconductor Unit or the like. If you need to keep the power to the printer turned on for required work operations, take off the watch and finger ring, if you wear, and wear a proper laser protection goggle. It is dangerous to put any high-reflectivity tool in the laser beam path. Especially, pay attention to the handling of tools on the user site. For the print head, there is no disassembly or adjustment items on the user site. If the print head is found defective, replace the assembly or unit containing the control board with a new one. That is, do not remove the laser diode in a single unit and do not make trimmer adjustment of the control board.
15 mw 36.903 µw (Laser emission opening in the Print Head) 770 ~ 800 nm
This printer incorporates a Class 3b laser diode, which emits an invisible laser beam. The Print Head Assembly incorporates this laser diode and a polygon mirror. The Print Head Assembly is not included in the on-the-market maintenance adjustment items. Therefore, never disassemble or adjust the Print Head Assembly under any circumstances.
W A R N IN G
W A R N IN G
Disassembly or adjustment by any procedure other than prescribed here can result in exposure to an dangerous laser beam.

Laser Safety and Caution Labels
Warning labels and caution labels are affixed to this printer for accident prevention.
C H E C K P O IN T
In maintenance work, check that the labels are free from peeling and soiling.
Laser safety label As shown below, a laser safety label is stuck on the rear panel of the printer beside the AC inlet.
Laser caution label As shown below, a laser caution label is stuck on the inside of the printer.

Note : The engine itself supports True 1200 dpi, but 1200 dpi is not supported with EPL-6200L. With EPL-6200, the standard paper supply consists of the cassette-like universal paper tray (250 sheets) and manual feed tray (one sheet). EPL-6200 supports an optional 500-sheet lower cassette (A4 size). EPL-6200L is equipped with a 150-sheet paper feed tray. EPL-6200 supports an optional Duplex Unit (requiring paper loading from the lower cassette). Developer Cartridge (toner cartridge) New type Developer Cartridge (removal and installation together with the OPC drum) CSIC (It detects Toner capacity and brand-new toner automatically.)

CONTROLLER FEATURES High-speed controller CPU RAM : TMPR4955BFG 200 MHz (Same as for EPL-N2500) : 8 MB fitted as standard RAM and Expandable up to 136 MB Max. Exclusive RAM DIMM for EPSON (Same as for EPL-6100)
Two standard interfaces IEEE1284 compatible parallel interface supporting ECP. USB interface (USB revision 1.1, supporting USB ID). Data compression technology Sending compressed data from a host computer allows printing most of the data with only standard memory. An expanded circuit hardware provides high-speed processing. No toner save mode No 300 dpi mode No RITech or PGI (EnhancedMicroGray)
Equipped with one Type B interface slot (Level 3 supported) Two standard interfaces IEEE1284 parallel interface USB interface Real 1200dpi supported (Only in ESC/Page, PCL6, PostScript 3. Up to 600 dpi supported in other modes) NOTE: 1200 dpi printing needs much memory. At 1200 dpi printing, therefore, the possibility of running short of memory is high with standard memory. Recommendation: Extension of 16 MB or more.
EnhancedMicroGray installed (available only in 600 dpi and 300 dpi. Automatically switched off when 1200 dpi is selected.) RITech installed (available only in 600 dpi and 300 dpi. Automatically switched off when 1200 dpi is selected.) PCL6 emulation is installed as a standard feature. Adobe PostScript3 is installed as a standard feature. No optional ROM DIMM slot.

1.1.3.1 Restrictions on Use of EPL-6200L
The printer itself cannot print the Status Sheet. When the printer is connected to a parallel interface, printing via devices such as a printer switch, LAN-Parallel converter, or USB-Parallel converter is not guaranteed. Direct connection to a printer port of the host computer with an ECP supporting cable is premised. Using a converter for a USB connection is not guaranteed. This printer cannot be used in environments where a bi-directional port is not supported, for example, where a terminal server is used.

EPSON EPL-6200/EPL-6200L
Thick paper ppm control For thick paper printing, sheets of paper is fed at wider intervals (ppm Down) as described below to prevent temperature rise at both ends of the fuser unit. The ppm Down control will be started after a lapse of 100 seconds from the start of Thick Paper printing. NOTE: However, if the motor has already been running for more than 100 seconds to execute jobs (continuous or intermittent printing) before starting thick paper printing, the ppm Down control is started at the beginning of Thick Paper printing. The motor running period of time for previous jobs is accumulated irrespective of paper types. The motor running time will be reset when the printer keeps in standby status for 3 minutes. See Figure 1-2, "Cases of ppm Down (for reference only)".
