Guidelines for using media
The following sections provide guidelines and instructions for printing on transparencies, envelopes,
and other special media. Guidelines and specifications are included to help you select media that
optimizes print quality and avoid media that can cause jams or damage the all-in-one.
Paper
For best results, use conventional 80-g/m2 or 20 lb paper. Make sure that the paper is of good quality
and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or bent edges.
If you are unsure about what type of paper you are loading (such as bond or recycled), check the
label on the package of paper.
Some paper causes print quality problems, jamming, or damage to the all-in-one.

colored paper or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with the fuser temperature of
200°C (392°) for 0.1 second.
Do not use letterhead that is printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some
types of thermography.
Do not use raised letterhead.
Do not use transparencies that are designed for inkjet printers or other low-temperature
printers. Use only transparencies that are specified for use with HP LaserJet printers.
28Chapter 3 Media specificationsENWW
Labels
For the HP LaserJet 3050/3052/3055 all-in-one, HP recommends that you print labels from the
priority input slot. For the HP LaserJet 3390/3392 all-in-one, HP recommends that you print labels
from the single-sheet priority input slot (tray 1) and use the straight-through output path. See
media into the input trays for more information.
CAUTIONDo not feed a sheet of labels through the all-in-one more than once. The
adhesive degrades and might damage the all-in-one.
Label construction
When selecting labels, consider the quality of the following components:
Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 200°C (392°F), the maximum fuser
●
temperature.
Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off
●
sheets that have spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.
Curl: Before printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm (0.5 inch) of curl in any
●
direction.
Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation.
●
Loading
Transparencies
Transparencies must be able to withstand 200°C (392°F), the all-in-one maximum fuser temperature.
CAUTIONYou can print transparencies from a 250-sheet tray (tray 1 on the HP LaserJet
3050/3052/3055 all-in-one; tray 2 or optional tray 3 on the HP LaserJet 3390/3392 all-in-one).
However, do not load more than 75 transparencies at one time into the tray.
ENWWGuidelines for using media29
Envelopes
For the HP LaserJet 3050/3052/3055 all-in-one, HP recommends that you print envelopes from the
priority input slot. For the HP LaserJet 3390/3392 all-in-one, HP recommends that you print
envelopes from the single-sheet priority input slot (tray 1) and use the straight-through output path.
Loading media into the input trays for more information.
See
Envelope construction
Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary considerably, not only between
manufacturers, but also within a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on envelopes
depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the following
components:
●
Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 90 g/m
result.
Construction: Before printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm (0.25 inch) of curl,
●
and should not contain air. Envelopes that trap air can cause problems. Do not use envelopes
that contain clasps, snaps, tie strings, transparent windows, holes, perforations, cutouts,
synthetic materials, stamping, or embossing. Do not use envelopes with adhesives that require
pressure to seal them.

Envelopes with double-side seams
An envelope with double-side-seam construction has vertical seams at both ends of the envelope
rather than diagonal seams. This style might be more likely to wrinkle. Make sure that the seam
extends all the way to the corner of the envelope as shown in the following illustration:

Envelopes with adhesive strips or flaps
Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use
adhesives compatible with the heat and pressure in the all-in-one: 200°C (392°F). The extra flaps
and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams.
Envelope storage
Proper storage of envelopes contributes to good print quality. You should store envelopes flat. If air
is trapped in an envelope, creating an air bubble, the envelope might wrinkle during printing.
Card stock and heavy media
You can print many types of card stock from the input tray, including index cards and postcards.
Some card stock performs better than others because its construction is better suited for feeding
through a laser printer. The HP LaserJet 3390/3392 all-in-one is designed to accommodate card
stock by opening the rear output door to use the straight-through output path.
2
For optimum performance, do not use paper heavier than 157 g/m
might cause misfeeds, stacking problems, jams, poor toner fusing, poor print quality, or excessive
mechanical wear.
NOTEYou might be able to print on heavier paper if you do not fill the input tray to capacity
and if you use paper with a smoothness rating of 100-180 Sheffield.
Construction: Card stock should lie flat with less than 5 mm (0.2 inch) of curl.
●
Condition: Make sure that the card stock is not wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.

ENWWGuidelines for using media31
Letterhead and preprinted forms
Letterhead is premium paper that often has a watermark, sometimes uses cotton fiber, and is
available in a wide range of colors and finishes with matching envelopes. Preprinted forms can be
made of a broad spectrum of paper types ranging from recycled to premium.
Many manufacturers now design these grades of paper with properties optimized for laser printing
and advertise the paper as laser compatible or laser guaranteed. Some of the rougher surface
finishes, such as cockle, laid, or linen, might require the special fuser modes that are available on
some printer models to achieve adequate toner adhesion.
NOTESome page-to-page variation is normal when printing with laser printers. This
variation cannot be observed when printing on plain paper. However, this variation is obvious
when printing on preprinted forms because the lines and boxes are already placed on the page.
To avoid problems when using preprinted forms, embossed paper, and letterhead, observe the
following guidelines:
Avoid using low-temperature inks (the kind used with some types of thermography).
●
Use preprinted forms and letterhead paper that have been printed by offset lithography or
●
engraving.
Use forms that have been created with heat-resistant inks that will not melt, vaporize, or release
●
emissions when heated to 200°C (392°F) for 0.1 second. Typically, oxidation-set or oil-based
inks meet this requirement.
●When the form is preprinted, be careful not to change the moisture content of the paper, and do
not use materials that change the paper's electrical or handling properties. Seal the forms in
moisture-proof wrap to prevent moisture changes during storage.
Avoid processing preprinted forms that have a finish or coating.
●
Avoid using heavily embossed or raised-letterhead papers.
●
●Avoid papers that have heavily textured surfaces.
Avoid using offset powders or other materials that prevent printed forms from sticking together.
●

Supported media weights and sizes
For optimum results, use conventional 75 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lb) photocopy paper. Verify that the
paper is of good quality and is free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, curls,
and bent edges.
NOTEThe all-in-one supports a wide range of standard and custom sizes of print media.

ENWWSupported media weights and sizes35
Printing and storage environment
Ideally, the printing and media-storage environment should be at or near room temperature, and not
too dry or too humid. Remember that paper absorbs and loses moisture rapidly.
Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the moisture in paper to evaporate, while
cold causes it to condense on the sheets. Heating systems and air conditioners remove most of the
humidity from a room. As paper is opened and used, it loses moisture, causing streaks and
smudging. Humid weather or water coolers can cause the humidity to increase in a room. As paper is
opened and used it absorbs any excess moisture, causing light print and dropouts. Also, as paper
loses and gains moisture it can distort. This issue can cause jams.
As a result, paper storage and handling are as important as the paper-making process itself. Paper
storage environmental conditions directly affect the feed operation and print quality.
Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be easily used in a short time (about
three months). Paper stored for long periods can experience heat and moisture extremes, which can
cause damage. Planning is important to prevent damage to a large supply of paper.
Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for several months before use. Opened
packages of paper have more potential for environmental damage, especially if they are not wrapped
with a moisture-proof barrier.
The media-storage environment should be maintained to ensure optimum performance. The required
condition is 20° to 24°C (68° to 75°F), with a relative humidity of 45% to 55%. The following
guidelines are helpful when evaluating the storage environment:
Print media should be stored at or near room temperature.
●
●The air should not be too dry or too humid.
The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to rewrap it tightly in its moisture-proof
●
wrapping. If the all-in-one environment is subject to extremes, unwrap only the amount of paper
to be used during the day's operation to prevent unwanted moisture changes.
Avoid storing paper and print media near heating and air conditioning vents or near windows
●
and doors that are frequently open.

Transparencies and labels
Only use transparencies and labels that are recommended for use in laser printers, such as
HP transparency film and HP LaserJet labels. See
CAUTIONBe sure to set the correct media type in the all-in-one settings. The all-in-one
adjusts the fuser temperature according to the media type setting. When printing on special
media such as transparencies or labels, this adjustment prevents the fuser from damaging the
media as it passes through the all-in-one.
CAUTIONInspect the media to make sure that it is not wrinkled or curled and that it does
not have any torn edges or missing labels.
NOTEYou can load multiple transparencies in the main input tray (tray 2). However, do not
load more than 75 transparencies at a time.
Guidelines for using media for more information.
Custom-size media and card stock
Use the main input tray for multiple sheets. See Supported media weights and sizes for the
supported media sizes.
CAUTIONMake sure that the sheets are not stuck together before you load them.
Colored paper
Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white xerographic paper.
●
Pigments used must be able to withstand the fuser temperature of 200°C (392°F) for 0.1 second
●
without deterioration.
Do not use paper with a colored coating that was added after the paper was produced.
●
ENWWPrinting on special media63
Envelopes
Only use envelopes that are recommended for laser printers. See Guidelines for using media for
more information.
NOTEFor the HP LaserJet 3390/3392 all-in-one, you must load envelopes one at a time in
the single-sheet priority input slot (tray 1).
To prevent the envelope from curling as it prints, open the rear output door (HP LaserJet 3390/3392
all-in-one).

from a tray that is configured for heavy paper. Because this setting affects all print jobs, it is
important to return the all-in-one back to its original settings after the job has printed.
CAUTIONUsing paper that is heavier than the media specification recommended for this all-
in-one can cause misfeeds, jams, reduced print quality, and excessive mechanical wear.
Some heavier media, such as HP Cover Stock, can be safely used.
Letterhead and preprinted forms
The all-in-one can print on letterhead and preprinted forms that can withstand temperatures of 200°C
(392°F).
NOTETo print a single-page cover letter on letterhead, followed by a multiple-page
document, feed the letterhead face up in the single-sheet priority input slot (tray 1), and load
the standard paper in the main input tray (tray 2). The all-in-one automatically prints from the
single-sheet priority input slot first.

Using manual dial
Usually, the all-in-one dials after you press Start Fax. At times, however, you might want the all-in-
one to dial each number as you press it. For example, if you are charging your fax call to a calling
card, you might need to dial the fax number, wait for the acceptance tone of your telephone
company, and then dial the calling card number. When dialing internationally, you might need to dial
part of the number and then listen for dial tones before continuing to dial.
To use manual dial with the automatic document feeder (ADF)
1.Load the document into the automatic document feeder (ADF) input tray.
2.On the all-in-one control panel, press Start Fax.
3.Begin dialing.
NOTEThe all-in-one dials the number as you press each digit. This allows you to wait

Changing autoreduction settings for incoming faxes
If the fit-to-page option is turned on, the all-in-one automatically reduces long faxes up to 75% to fit
the information on the default paper size (for example, the fax is reduced from legal to letter size).
If the fit-to-page option is turned off, long faxes print at full size on multiple pages. The factory-set
default for incoming fax autoreduction is On.
If you have the stamp-received faxes option turned on, you might also want to turn on autoreduction.
This reduces the size of the incoming faxes slightly, and prevents the page-stamp from forcing a fax
onto two pages.
