What is the problem you are having with the encoder strip?  

 

If the printer is skipping an area in the same spot down the page, stairstepping text down the page or slamming into the side of the printer you might try cleaning the encoder strip as shown in the post here.  The encoder strip is fragile, please read and heed the warnings.  Only use water to clean the strip, not alcohol or any other solvents as the fine lines printed on the strip are needed for proper operation of the printer.  Be gentle!

 

If the encoder strip has become dislodged you may be able to correct the issue as described in the post here.

I do not have an Officejet 6100, but see the pictures in the link I gave above.  Your machine would be similar, although there may be a cover you would need to remove.

The picture below is a close up of the tang the encoder strip will connect to, I stuck a small piece of card behind it.
