DeskJet Ink Advantage Ultra 5136 error codes (E0 to E9)

The DeskJet Ink Advantage Ultra 5100 has no text screen. When something goes wrong, the number counter on the control panel shows the letter E and one digit. HP uses the same codes for the DeskJet 2900, 4300, 5100 and 5800 families:

Other control panel signals: an amber Information light means you should press the Information button and read the Information Page it prints; a white blinking Information light during Wi-Fi setup asks you to press it to confirm the connection. A blinking letter A appears after the alignment page prints.

Based on HP support document HP DeskJet 2900, 4300, 5100, 5800 Printers – Blinking lights and error codes; the wording is ours.

Clearing the E0 cartridge error

E0 is the code owners of the Ultra 5136 and other 5100 models meet most often after changing cartridges. HP reads the ink icons for you: a blinking left icon points to the tri-color cartridge, a blinking right icon to the black one, and both icons showing empty while the cartridges still have ink means a cartridge is not seated in its chute.

1. Open the cartridge access door and wait for the carriage to move to the center.
2. Press down on the end of the cartridge named by the icon, take it out holding only the sides, and slide it back until it snaps in. Press down any cartridge that tilts upward so both sit level.
3. Close the door and press Cancel to clear E0. If it returns, turn the printer off for 60 seconds.
4. Still there: take the cartridge out again, check that its number matches the label inside the printer, and remove any orange shipping tape over the nozzles. HP warns not to peel off the printed circuit, and not to touch the copper contacts or nozzles.
5. If E0 persists, HP’s next step is a new, genuine HP cartridge.

More cartridge messages are explained in HP cartridge incompatible error; carriage jams in HP carriage jam and E3.
