I have a Canon Pixma 170 printer. I'm getting an error message of a paper jam and there is no paper in the printer. The cartridge cable is stuck on the right of the printer and is not sliding back to the left so I am not able to access the cartridge. Not sure what to do. Can you help me? Thanks. Mary Ann

You may have a piece of paper left inside. If the paper tears and a piece remains inside the machine, open the
Scanning Unit and remove it. Be careful not to touch the components inside the machine at this time. After removing the paper, close the
Scanning Unit, turn the machine OFF and turn it back ON.
If you tried to print Credit Card-sized paper in the landscape orientation you can get <PAPER JAMMED> or <E,3> displayed on the LCD/LED, remove the
paper following the procedure below.
1. Load Credit Card-sized paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder one sheet at a time.
Do not load it in the landscape orientation.
2. Press [ON/OFF] on the machine to turn OFF the power.
3. Press [ON/OFF] again on the machine to turn ON the power.
The paper is fed and the jammed paper is ejected accordingly.
If you cannot remove the jammed paper or the error still persists, contact a Canon service representative.

I have a Canon Pixma MP 240 printer. It's been out of black ink. I installed a new ink cartridge. Now, there's an "E3" flashing on the screen. And it won't print anything.

Error E3 indicates that there is a paper jam.

Firstly remove the ink cartridge you have just installed and check to see if there are any bits of paper underneath that.

Secondly check the rest of the printer for any jams paying careful attention to any rollers as small bits of paper can get stuck to them.

I continue to get error message 3 from my pixma

E3 is paper jam.First, make sure there is no paper jam anywhere in the machine.. look inside, rear, where the paper tray (output)
is, etc to see if you find any shreds or torn paper that may have gotten stuck and you didn't see.Look carefully in the zone of Purge unit, using flashlight in the right side on printer.If this not help your printer need service, because in most case when have a paper jam it's under withe rollers and printer must be disassembled.

Canon mp130 ink cartridge jammed

Hi,

The unit may have a paper jam or stuck object inside, if you have experience a paper jam error before, check the printer for any object or paper stuck inside, clean roller.

Some error like this can be a problem on the feeder sensor and by this time you may need to replace and repair the unit.

Hope this initial info helps

Won't print, and shows Error Code 3

Check to see if anything is stuck inside. Sometimes a small fragment of paper gets stuck inside and triggers the "jam" message.

Clear Paper Jam error -- but there is no paper jam!

Sometimes while clearing the jam (if there was one) you may leave a bit of paper left behind which obscures a sensor causing it to think there is paper still in the paper path, or sometimes even paper dust can do it. Try a bottle of compressed air and blow the path out very well. Get a bright light (good flashlight) and very throroughly eyeball the paper path for any "foreign" objects...
