Hi
Hope you already know that Error 3 is a carriage return
horizontal position error and flashes when the printer turns on & the SP
Motor Brake signal is not switched on within 3 seconds of it turning on. To
solve this issue you should check the SP motor connection, if that is fine then
the unit should be serviced. Hope this helps...please post back for further
assistance.

Daniel Scott Sorry for the late response, if you have checked the motor control and the connections look good then check to make sure all the wires are fine not burned or broken. If the issue returns then the motor control can be replaced.
