How To / Handling Paper
Labels
 | 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. |
EPL-6100 Laser Printer can print on special paper stock such as envelopes, labels, transparencies, and thick paper.
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.
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.

To print on envelopes, choose Thick Narrow (Windows) or Thick[N] (Macintosh) from the Paper Type drop-down list in the Basic settings menu (Windows) or Basic Settings dialog box (Macintosh).
The printing 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.
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.
You can load 5 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 of a weight between 90 and 163 g/m2 (24 to 43 lb).
To print on thick paper, be sure to change the Paper Type Setting in the printer driver's Basic Settings menu (Windows) or Basic Settings dialog box (Macintosh). Choose Thick Narrow (Windows) or Thick[N] (Macintosh) for thick paper which is less than 188 mm wide. Choose Thick Wide (Windows) or Thick[W] (Macintosh) when printing on thick paper which is 188 mm or wider.
You can load up to five 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.
When printing on transparencies, make sure to choose Transparency from the Paper Type drop-down list in the Basic Settings menu (Windows) or Basic Settings dialog box (Macintosh).
