what is error e3

Hi @Gennaro,

Welcome to the HP Support Community

I'd like to help!

I understand you are receiving an E3 error

An E3 or E4 error indicates a carriage or paper jam.

Try the below suggestions-

Step 1: Automatically clear the jam

Press the Cancel button to try and automatically clear the paper jam.

If the paper jam error persists, continue these steps to manually clear the jam.

Step 2: Clear jammed paper from the printer

Paper jams can occur in multiple areas of the printer. If you cannot find the paper jam in one area, continue to the next area until the jam is located.

1. Clear jammed paper from the ink cartridge access area
2. Clear jammed paper from the input tray and cleanout area
3. Clear jammed paper from the document feeder (DeskJet Plus Ink Advantage and ENVY Pro 6400)

Step 3: Clean the paper feed rollers

Dust, paper fiber, and other debris might accumulate on the paper feed rollers and cause paper jams and paper feed issues.

1. Clean the rollers inside the ink cartridge access area
2. Clean the rollers underneath the printer
3. Clean the rollers in the ADF

Try to print. If the error persists, check for jammed paper in another area of the printer.

Step 4: Reset the printer

Sometimes a paper jam error persists even though there is no jammed paper (false paper jam). Reset the printer, which might clear a false paper jam error, and then try to print again.

With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the printer.

Unplug the power cord from the power source.

Wait 60 seconds.

Reconnect the power cord to a wall outlet and to the printer.

NOTE:

HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.
