Welcome to the HP support community.
I understand that you are getting an E3 carriage jam error on the printer, I am glad to assist you.
Reset the printer
Reset the printer to recover from printer errors or failures.
- If your printer has a rechargeable battery, remove it.
- 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.
- Turn on the printer to complete the reset.
Check for obstructions in the carriage path
Remove any loose paper or obstructions that might be blocking the carriage path.
- Turn off the printer, and then disconnect the power cord.
- Open the cartridge access door to get to the carriage inside the printer.
- EXAMPLES OF A CARTRIDGE ACCESS DOOR
- Look for and remove any obstructions in the carriage path, such as crumpled paper or dislodged labels.
- EXAMPLE OF A PRINTER WITH AN OBSTRUCTION IN THE CARRIAGE PATH
- If the carriage has a latch, gently press it down to make sure it is locked into place.
- CAUTION: Ink tank printers: If the carriage latch is secured, do not press down on it. Doing so might damage the printer.
- EXAMPLES OF THE CARRIAGE LATCH
- If the carriage is not locked in place, move it to each side, removing any obstructions blocking its path.
- CAUTION: Do not force the carriage to move if it is locked or stuck. This can damage the printer.
- Close the printer door.
- Reconnect the power cord, and then turn on the printer.
