• Normal paper mode: Printing is performed at the highest speed available with
the main unit. (Labels and transparencies are included)
• Thick paper mode: Printing is performed with the paper feed interval extended
in order to maintain the print quality of Thick Papers. (“ppm
down” may take place.) (Since the paper feed interval of
envelopes or Japanese postcards is the maximum, there is
no “ppm down”.)

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)".

1.10 Notes on Operation
This is a switch that operates to lower the print density in a high humidity environment.
Ordinarily it does not operate.
1.10.1 Power Off (EPL-6200)
Use this switch only in cases where the above special environmental conditions exist.
When the use environment returns to normal environmental conditions, it is necessary
to return it to the original setting immediately.
EPL-6200 incorporates an internal non-volatile memory (EEPROM).
If the power to the printer is turned off during the process of writing in non-volatile
memory, the successful writing in the non-volatile memory cannot be guaranteed.
Therefore, the next time the printer is turned on, panel settings may be initialized or a
service call error may occur.
SETTING PROCEDURE
The non-volatile memory saves the function settings, and the following cases are those
in which the memory is rewritten, and therefore the printer should not be powered off:
1. Open the printer driver on the personal computer.
After the printer is powered on, until the Ready LED lights up.
While the printer is printing.
(While the paper feed motor is operating.)
2. Open the “Optional Settings” page.
3. Click the “Extended Settings” button while holding down [ALT] + [CTRL] + [Z] keys.
While the Data LED is flashing or lit.
To stop the printer, either put it off line or carry out All Print Job Data Cancel.

1.10.2 Caution About Hot Parts (EPL-6200/EPL-6200L)
The fuser unit inside the printer is heated to high temperatures, once the printer cover is
opened to clear paper jam or for some reasons, take care not to touch the fuser unit.
This setting can be made by a serviceman in specific cases
where no other measure hardly can cope with the problem
since the user environment is highly humid.
Print quality is not guaranteed if the printer is used with the high-
humidity environment setting in normal environment.

An optional lower cassette unit (500 sheets) can be installed so that three
paper feed methods are available.
Paper fed by the paper feed roller is carried through transfer roller → fusing
roller → paper exit roller and ejected to the Face-down Output Tray.
For duplex printing, the second side is printed first. Once the sheet has passed
the Fuser Unit, the paper path is changed and the paper transport direction is
reversed to transport the sheet into the Duplex Unit.

Polygon Mirror
SOS Mirror
G1 Lens
Upon issue of the Laser ON signal, the laser beam is forcibly emitted. The laser
beam, via the polygon mirror → G1 lens → SOS mirror, strikes the SOS sensor to
issue the SOS signal.
This SOS signal unifies the timing of the laser emission for every line of main
scanning.
2.2.1.4 Laser Emission Area
Main Scanning Direction (See “Figure 2-10”)
Printing start timing with laser is such that the printing start position is
determined by the main scanning printing start signal (/HSYNC) output from
the Mechanical Control Board and by the paper width.
SOS Sensor
The laser emission area is determined by the paper size. However, the 4-mm
width area at each of right and left edges is a no-image area.

The surface of the OPC drum is charged by the rotating brush (charging brush) and
pre-charging film.
Charging by the charging brush and the pre-charging film, by which charge is
given directly to the OPC drum, is characterized by generating ozone rarely,
requiring a low voltage and excelling in homogeneity and stability of the electric
potential.
The pre-charging film performs preliminary charging before charging with the
rotary brush (charging brush) to enhance efficiency of charging.

The organic photoconductor can deteriorate by sensitivity change
due to light fatigue if it is exposed to light for an extended period of
time. To prevent such deterioration, when the OPC Drum has been
taken out of the printer body, cover it with a clean soft cloth to
protect it from exposure to light. In handling the Photoconductor
Unit, take great care that no dirt adheres to the surface of the
photoconductor.
Figure 2-14. OPC Drum
OPC Drum
Front Plate Assy
Grounding of OPC drum:
The grounding contact of the photoconductor is located in its front inside and
always in contact with the shaft of the front plate of the print unit. When the print
unit is installed in the printer body, the setting pin of the print unit front plate
comes in contact with the front plate of the printer body to achieve grounding.
Thus, the electric charge on the photoconductor in the area exposed to light is
grounded through the grounding plate, the shaft and the setting pin to the frame. (See
“Figure 2-15”)

Installation Detection (Presence Detection):
Installation of the Imaging Cartridge is detected in such a way that its presence/
absence is electrically detected at power off and on or opening and closing of the
front cover by the IC chip (CSIC) incorporated in the Developer Cartridge (toner
cartridge).
CSIC Board
Detection of New Cartridge:
The Developer Cartridge (toner cartridge) is detected to be a new one only at the
first installation by the built-in IC chip (CSIC).
Detection of Toner Cartridge Near Empty or Toner Cartridge Empty
The built-in IC chip (CSIC) detects the amount of toner remaining by
counting the dots of laser.
With the dots corresponding to one sheet of A4 size printed at 5% of B/W
ratio counted one, reaching the predetermined count is detected to be the

Overview
OPC Drum
The image created on the OPC drum in the development process is transferred
to the paper.
Transfer is performed by the roller transfer method using the transfer roller.
By the roller transfer method, ozone is generated rarely and the transferred
image is little dislocated since the paper passes between the drum and the
transfer roller all through during printing.
The transfer roller is cleaned by applying a reversed bias to the transfer roller.
Cleaning of the transfer roller is carried out at start up of the printer, at
printing start, at printing end and at starting after clearing a paper jam.
The residual electric potential on the paper is removed by the discharge
needle.

For fusing, this printer uses the heat roller fusing system. The sheet with toner on
passes between the heat roller, which is heated up by the fusing heater lamp, and
the pressure roller. During this passage, heat and pressure are applied to
permanently fuse the toner to the paper. (See “Figure 2-15”)

TEMPERATURE CONTROL MODE
During printing, the fuser temperature is adjusted along the passage of time counted
from completion of warming up.
Mode 1:
Temperature control mode 1 continues for five minutes. However, the temperature
adjustment mode 1 that was interrupted once is resumed with the timer counting
from the count just before interruption, if the thermistor temperature is 50°C or
higher. Upon completion of temperature adjustment mode 1, temperature
adjustment mode 2 starts.
Mode 2:
This mode continues for 208 seconds. Once the printing temperature is lowered
gradually and has dropped to the printing temperature of temperature adjustment
mode 3, mode 2 is ended and temperature adjustment mode 3 is started.

Paper Feed Sensor (S1)
When the paper feed solenoid is turned ON, the driving power from the main
motor is transmitted to the paper feed roller via the paper feed clutch, and the
paper feed roller rotates.
At the same time, the push-down cam rotates, and it lifts the tray. Paper on the tray
is carried into the printer by the paper feed roller.
The actual paper length is detected by the ON period (passage time) of the paper
feed sensor and the system speed. Then it is judged whether or not the detected
length is equal to the paper length designated by the controller.

When there is paper, the actuator is lifted so that the light to the sensor is
intercepted.
When the paper has been used up, the actuator falls into the hole in the tray so that
the light to the sensor is transmitted.

PAPER FEEDING RETRY FUNCTION
When the Paper Feed Sensor does not turn on and off within the predetermined
time, paper feed motion is performed again to reduce the possibility of a paper jam
caused by a paper feeding error.

2.2.9.2 Driving of Duplex Unit
Duplex Unit Inversion Motor (M5)
The Duplex Unit is driven as follows: the paper after printing on one side is fed into the
Output Tray once and when the tail end of the paper has left the guide behind the paper
eject roller, the paper eject roller starts rotating to transport the paper into the Duplex
Unit. (See “Figure 2-30”)
The paper is transported into the printer body by the duplex unit transport motor.
Transport Roller 1
With the Duplex Unit installed, the paper eject roller is separated from the drive on the
printer body and is driven by the inversion motor in the Duplex Unit.

3.1.4 Notes on Troubleshooting
Before starting troubleshooting, be sure to verify that the following conditions are all
met:
The troubleshooting method described here assumes there is no malfunction in the
printer controller (Main Board). If you can not fix a problem even by following the
troubleshooting procedure, you are advised to replace the printer controller with a
normal one and then follow the same procedure.
The power supply voltage must be within the specification limits.
(Measure the voltage at the wall socket.)
If you can not recover the printer from the trouble even with the printer controller
replaced, replace the “Parts that may be the source of this error” and related parts
with new ones in order one by one and repeat operation checks.
The POWER CORD must be free from damage, short circuit or breakage, or
miswiring in the POWER CORD.
The printer must be grounded properly.
Some normal components may be required as troubleshooting tools to identify the
cause of the trouble. You are advised to have a spare HVPS/MCU and EP
Cartridge.
The printer should not be located in a place where it can be exposed to too high or
low temperature, too high or low humidity, or abrupt temperature change.
Check not only the “Parts that may be the source of this error” but also their
The printer should not be located near waterworks, near humidifiers, near heaters
or near flames, in a dusty atmosphere or in a place where the printer can be
exposed to blast from an air conditioner.
components and related parts.
Be sure to unplug the POWER CORD before starting troubleshooting work except
when turning power ON is needed. With the power cord connected, never touch
any live parts unnecessarily.
The printer should not be located in a place where volatile or inflammable gases
are produced.
The printer should not be located in a place where it can be exposed to direct rays

4.1.1 Precautions
4.1 Overview
See the precautions given under the heading “WARNING” and “CAUTION” in the
following column when disassembling or assembling the product.
This section describes procedures for disassembling the main components of the
product. Unless otherwise specified, disassembly units or components can be
reassembled by reversing the disassembly procedure. Things, if not strictly observed,
that could result in injury or loss of life are described under the heading “Warning”.
Precautions for any disassembly or assembly procedures are described under the
heading “CAUTION”. Chips for disassembling procedures are described under the
heading “CHECK POINT”.
If the assembling procedure is different from the reversed procedure of the
disassembling, the procedure is described under the heading “REASSEMBLY”.
Any adjustments required after disassembling the units are described under the heading
“ADJUSTMENT REQUIRED”. When you have to remove any units or parts that are
not described in this chapter, refer to the exploded diagrams in the appendix.
Disconnect the power cable before disassembling or assembling
the printer. If you need to work on the printer with power
applied, strictly follow the instructions in this manual.
Always wear gloves for disassembly and reassembly to avoid
injury from sharp metal edges.

To protect sensitive microprocessors and circuitry, use static
discharge equipment, such as anti-static wrist straps, when
accessing internal components.
This printer incorporates a Class 3b laser diode, which emits an
invisible laser beam. To avoid careless exposure to a laser
beam, be sure to follow the instructions given in this manual
when you do work with the printer.
The FUSER ASSY and other high-temperature parts remain at
hazardous temperature for a certain period of time even after
stop of operation and turning off of the power. To prevent
suffering a burn, be sure to wait after power turning off until
the temperature of the parts cool down to a safe level, and then
start working on the printer.
Read precautions described in the next section before starting.
To avoid dust explosion or ignition, never bring any
consumables close to flame or throw them into fire.
When developer or oil stuck to your skin or clothes, wipe it off
with a dry cloth carefully and wash it away with water
completely.
Take great care not to put developer or toner contained in the
consumables into your mouth or eye or not to inhale it. Take
due care that no one around you put developer or toner into the
mouth or eye or inhale it. (Spread a sheet of paper inside and
around the printer to prevent soiling.)
