How to reset HP LaserJet M1132 MFP ( ERROR E3)

[ktng]

Hi team,

Please assist as I'm facing an error of E3 appearing on the screen of the printer. Every solution that I found in the forum does not work for me, thus I've concluded that I had to reset my printer. Please do PM me the procedure to reset my printer as I need the printer to be back into action in order to make my job easier.

I understand the decision of reset should not be taken lightly and will end with dire situation, I will bear the full responsibility to whatever happens to the printer.

Thank you in advance!

Hi! @ktng, Thanks for stopping by the HP Support Forums!

I understand you are getting error E3 on your printer.

Don't worry I'll try to help you out.

Did you make any changes to your printer?

As you mentioned you are getting error E3 on your printer and you would like to know how to reset the printer back to factory state.

I have checked the records and there is no NVRAM reset available for your printer.

So, Please try few steps recommended below and check if it helps.

Sometimes an error message persists even though there is no packing material or jammed paper inside the printer. Resetting the printer might resolve the error.

1. Turn the printer on, if it is not already on.

2. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.

3. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.

4. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

5. Wait at least 60 seconds.

6. Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.

      NOTE:

   HP recommends connecting the printer power cord directly to the wall outlet.

7. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.

8. Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.

   The printer might go through a warm-up period. The printer lights might flash, and the carriage might move.

9. Wait until the warm-up period finishes and your printer is idle and silent before you proceed.
