This Epson Printer error E-01 occurs in the Epson Service Manual which indicates a type of fatal error. It simply signifies that the printer is incapable to finish the self-test process. When users are trying to power ON the printer it begins to check for all systems. If it is found that it is unable to finish the self test process then, the printer will come up with an error message as mentioned above. Follow these steps to resolve Error E-01. Steps to Resolve Error E-01: Step 1: Turn on/off the printer power button

In Windows there are many different printer drivers out there but the basics for epson printers are when you click on print select your printer then click properties. most epson drivers will not allow you to print on glossy paper in black ink only so the paper options type will need to be matte then you should be able to select black ink only from the print options.

FOR BETTER JUST UNISTALL/INSTALL.

Hi Donald,

• First,make sure you're printing on original Epson cartridges.
• If the ink cartridges are old,replace them.
• Select BEST as the quality setting.
• For the best print qualities,use the Epson special papers which are highly designed for the best prints.

What software are you using to print with? If your using the epson software I would uninstall it and reinstall it along with the drivers. You can find the drivers and the software at this link:

Thank you,

a printer error has occurred. see your documentation

I am assuming you are trying to print from a computer, not a photo memory card (SD Card).

Try the following things:

- get the manual and install CD if you have it
- use the manual or the menu on the printer to print a test page (if that works then it is probably not the printer)
- make sure the USB-B cable is connected
- Start the Print Manager software on your computer (install it from the CD if it is not installed already, download the drivers from on-line if you do not have the CD)
- Use the Print Manager to print a test page (If this works, then we know the cable works)
- in Control Panel under Printers select the Epson Stylus as the DEFAULT PRINTER
- from the application (MS Word, Photoshop, etc.) try printing and verify that the Epson is the selected printer

If this does not work please provide further details about what hardware and applications you are using and what you are trying to print.

Good luck. Bry

Turn off your printer and unplug the power cable. Open the scanner lid. Double check for any obstructions. Move the print head to the left side and check again if there's obstructions on the right side. Close the lid and try to turn on the printer. If error message still displays on the screen, possibly it is a printer issue. It may require service.

The printer must detect unique 'chips' on the ink cartridges before it will print. Non-Epson ink cartridges may not have the right chips. Or there may be a bad electrical connection between the carriage assembly and the chips when cartridges are in place. Anything preventing the chips from being electrically connected, (including dirty contacts), can cause the error.
In my case the chips were not staying in place on the ink cartridges. Since I am using a CIS (Continuous Ink System), the chips had been replaced, but were not staying in alignment with the contacts on the carriage. I used a very small amount of hot melt glue to secure the loose end of each chip to each cartridge. I have not received the error message again.

Hi!
On the scanner area look for a switch on the side or front that indicates lock position. You may need to lift the scanner up if you don't have the switch near the scanner bed. Make sure that switch is set top unlock. This is a feature for this type of printer to protect scanner part when transporting device.
Hope this helps.

Clean the print head 3 times and print the nozzle check. Try to remove the inks from the printer and put them back in. If that does not do any improvement at all, the print head nozzles are clogged. You may want to take your printer to a service center.
