HP DeskJet, ENVY 6000, 6400 printers - E4 (Paper jam) error

During a print job, the printer stops feeding pages, the Edge lighting glows amber, an E4 error displays, and a notification displays on the HP Smart app. When you click the notification, a Paper Jam error message displays.

Perform the following tasks in the order given. Use the printer after each task to see if the issue is resolved.

On the printer control panel, press the Cancel button to automatically clear the paper jam.

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.
