Epson Expression Premium XP-7100 error I-01: Setup Guide

The Epson Expression Premium XP-7100 error I-01 is an informational message signaling that the printer's tray sensor cannot detect the loaded paper or that the physical size settings do not match the software request. Unlike severe hardware faults, this is a user configuration warning. Since the printer features dedicated photo and standard paper trays, misalignment is a common trigger. Resolving the I-01 error involves verifying that the paper is properly aligned and that the printer settings on the touch panel match the load.
