Epson E-01 Printer Error
What it means
A general printer error asking you to turn the printer off and on. It often follows a paper jam or an obstruction around the carriage. Switching the printer off, clearing any jammed paper and packing material, then switching it on clears many cases; if it returns, it points to a component fault.
A full step-by-step guide is on the way
We publish guides only after checking each step against the manufacturer's own documentation, so this one is still being written. In the meantime, if the code relates to a jam or an obstruction, switching the printer off, unplugging it for a minute, and checking for anything stuck resolves a large share of cases. For a hardware fault, contact the manufacturer.

Switch off and unplug a printer before reaching inside it.
