Adobe PostScript 3 (EPL-6200 only)

The printer's Adobe PostScript 3 provides you with the ability to print documents formatted for PostScript printers. One hundred and thirty-six fonts in 17 font families are included. IES (Intelligent Emulation Switch) and SPL (Shared Printer Language) support allow the printer to switch between the PostScript mode and other emulations as print data is received at the printer.

Resolution Improvement Technology and Enhanced MicroGray technology (EPL-6200 only)

Resolution Improvement Technology (RITech) is an original EPSON printer technology that works by smoothing out the jagged edges of diagonal and curved lines in both text and graphics. Enhanced MicroGray improves the halftone quality of graphics. With the driver provided, the printer's 600 dpi (dots per inch) resolution is enhanced by RITech and Enhanced MicroGray technology.

Toner Save mode

To reduce the amount of toner used in printing documents, you can print rough drafts using the Toner Save mode.

Duplex printing (EPL-6200 only)

The optional Duplex Unit enables you to easily print on both sides of the page. You can produce professional quality double-sided documents. Use this feature with any print job to cut costs and save resources.

As an ENERGY STAR^® partner, EPSON recommends the use of the duplex printing function. See ENERGY STAR^® Compliance for more information on the ENERGY STAR^® program.

Fit-to-page printing

The Fit to Page function allows you to have your documents enlarged or reduced during printing according to the specified paper size.

Printing multiple pages on a sheet

Using the Print Layout setting, you can specify to print either two or four pages of a document onto a single sheet of paper. You can also specify the printing order, and select whether to print a frame around the pages. Each page is automatically resized to fit the specified number of pages onto the selected paper size.

Watermark printing

Your printer comes with a list of predefined watermarks that you can add to your documents. You can also create your own original text or bitmap watermarks.

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.
