    							Envelopes
    NOTEEnvelopes can be printed only from tray 1.  Set the tray media size to the specific
    envelope size. See 
    Printing envelopes from tray 1 .
    Adhere to the following guidelines to help ensure proper  printing on envelopes and to help prevent printer
    jams:
    ● Do not load more than 10 envelopes into tray 1.
    ● The weight rating of envelopes should not exceed 90 g/m
    2 (24 lb bond).
    ● Envelopes should be flat.
    ● Do not use envelopes with windows or clasps.
    ● Envelopes must not be wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.
    ● Envelopes with peel-off adhesive strips must us
    e adhesives that can withstand the heat and
    pressures of the printer’s fusing process.
    ● Envelopes should be loaded face-down with the top of the envelope to the left, and the short edge
    feeding into the printer first.
    NOTE
    In high humidity environments, envelopes should be printed long-edge first to prevent
    them from sealing during printing. For long-edge printing, envelopes should be loaded long edge
    first, face down. See 
    Printing envelopes from tray 1 .
    Labels
    NOTEIn either the application or  the printer driver, select Labels  as the media type, or configure
    tray 1 for labels. See 
    Configuring trays .
    ●Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate temperatures of 190° C (374° F) for 0.1 second.
    ● Verify that there is no expose
    d adhesive material between the  labels. Exposed areas can cause
    labels to peel off during printing, which can ca use paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause
    damage to printer components.
    ● Do not re-feed a sheet of labels.
    ● Verify that labels lie flat.
    ● Do not use labels that are wrin
    kled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.
    Heavy paper
    ●Any tray will print most heavy m
    edia that does not exceed 105 g/m2 (28 lb bond).
    ● Use cardstock (135 g/m
    2 to 176 g/m2 (36 to 47 lb bond)) only in tray 1.
    ● In either the software application or the printer driver, select 
    Heavy (106 g/m
    2 to 163 g/m2 (28 to
    43 lb bond)) or  Cardstock (135 g/m2 to 176 g/m2 (36 to 47  lb bond)) as the media type, or print
    from a tray that is configured for heavy paper.  Because this setting affects all print jobs, it is
    important to return the printer back to its original settings once the job has printed. See 
    Configuring
    trays .
    ENWW Printing on special media 77
     
    						
    							CAUTIONIn general, do not use paper that is heavier than the media specification
    recommended for this printer. Doing so can cause misfeeds, paper jams, reduced print quality,
    and excessive mechanical wear. Ho wever, some heavier media, such as HP Cover Stock, can
    be safely used.
    HP LaserJet Tough paper
    ● Use only HP LaserJet Tough paper with this printe
    r. HP products are designed to work together
    for optimum printing results.
    ● Handle HP LaserJet Tough paper using the edges. 
    Oils from your fingers deposited on HP LaserJet
    Tough paper can cause print quality problems.
    ● In either the software application or the printer driver, select 
    Tough Paper as the media type, or
    print from a tray that is config ured for HP LaserJet Tough paper.
    CAUTIONTransparent media that are no t designed for LaserJet printing will melt in the printer,
    causing damage to the printer.
    Preprinted forms and letterhead
    ● Forms and letterhead must be printe
    d with heat-resistant inks that will not melt, vaporize, or release
    hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of approximately 190° C
    (374° F) or 0.1 second.
    ● Inks must be nonflammable and should not
     adversely affect any printer rollers.
    ● Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes during
    storage.
    ● Before loading preprinted paper, verify that the 
    ink on the paper is dry. During the fusing process,
    wet ink can come off of preprinted paper.
    ● When 2-sided (duplex) printing, load preprinted fo
    rms and letterhead into tray 2 and tray 3 face-
    down with the top edge at the back of the tray. To  load preprinted forms and letterhead into tray 1,
    load them face-up with the bottom edge feeding in first.
    ● When 1-sided (simplex) printing, load preprinted forms and letterhead into tray 2 or tray 3 face-up
    with the top edge of the page at the front of the tray. To load preprinted forms and letterhead into
    tray 1, place them in the tray with the side 
    to be printed face-down with the bottom edge feeding
    in first.
    Recycled paper
    This printer supports the use of recycled paper. Rec ycled paper must meet the same specifications as
    standard paper. See the  HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Specification Guide . Hewlett-Packard
    recommends that recycled paper contain no more than 5 percent ground wood.

    							Using 2-sided (duplex) printing
    NOTETwo-sided printing is available for the HP  Color LaserJet 3000dn, 3000dtn, 3600dn,
    3800dn, and 3800dtn printers.
    The printer can print on both sides of the paper. If the printer is not equipped with automatic 2-sided
    printing, see 
    Manual 2-sided printing.
    Automatic 2-sided printing
    NOTE You must specify automatic 2-sided printing options in your software program or in the
    printer driver as well in order to print on both sides of the page.
    Perform the following steps to use automatic 2-sided printing:
    ● Verify that the printer driver is 
    configured for 2-sided printing. (For instructions, see the online Help
    for the printer driver.)
    ● Select the appropriate 2-sided printing options in the printer driver software, including page and
    binding orientation.
    ● For certain media types, including transparencies
    , labels, cardstock, and glossy film, 2-sided
    printing is not supported.
    ● For best results, avoid 2-sided printing
     on rough-textured, heavy-weight paper.
    ● When using 2-sided printing, load pre-printed form
    s and letterhead into tray 1 face-up with the
    bottom edge of the page feeding first. Load preprint ed forms and letterhead into tray 2 and tray 3
    face-down with the top edge  at the back of the tray.
    NOTELoading pre-printed forms and letterhead  for 2-sided printing is different than
    loading for 1-sided printing.
    NOTE When duplexing, the printer prints on the first side of the page and then moves the page
    into the output bin momentarily. The printer then pulls the page back into the printer to print the
    second side of the page. Make sure that the p age is complete before taking a page from the
    output bin. Pulling a page from t he bin while the printer is trying to pull the page back into the
    printer can cause a jam.

    							Control-panel settings for automatic 2-sided printing
    Many software programs include 2-sided printing setti ngs. If your software program or printer driver
    does  not include 2-sided printing options, you can adjust these settings through the control panel. The
    factory default setting is  OFF.
    CAUTION Do not use 2-sided printing when printing on labels, transparencies, or glossy paper.
    Serious damage to the printer can result.
    To turn 2-sided printing on or  off from the control panel
    NOTEChanging settings for 2-sided printing from th e printer control panel affects all print jobs.
    Whenever possible, change settings for 2-sided pr inting in your software program or printer
    driver.

    Options for binding 2- sided printing jobs
    Before printing a 2-sided  document, use the printer driver to specify the edge on which you will bind
    your finished document. Long-edge or book binding is  the conventional layout used for books. Short-
    edge or tablet binding is the typical calendar binding.
    NOTE The default setting is to bind on the long edge for pages in portrait orientation. To change
    to short-edge binding, select the  Flip Pages Up check box.
    Manual 2-sided printing
    To print a duplexed document on media other than the supported sizes or weights (see Print-media
    specifications), or if your printer does not support automati c 2-sided printing, go to the printer and reinsert
    the paper manually after the first side has printed.
    NOTE Damaged or reused media can cause jams and should not be used.

    							Managing special printing situations
    Printing a different first page
    Use the following procedure to print the first page of a document on a different media type than the rest
    of the document. For example, you can print the first page of a document on letterhead paper and the
    rest on plain paper.
    1. From your software program or pr inter driver, specify a tray for the first page and another tray for
    the remaining pages.
    2. Load the special media into the tray that you specified in step 1.
    3. Load the media for the remaining pages of the document into another tray.
    4. Print the document.
    You can also print on different media by using the printer control panel or printer driver to set the types
    of media that are loaded in the trays and then se lecting the first and remaining pages by media type.
    Printing on custom-size media
    The printer supports single-sided printing and manual  duplexing on custom-size media. Tray 1 supports
    media sizes from 76 x 127 mm (3 x 5 inches) to 2 16 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 inches). Tray 2 and tray 3
    support media sizes from 148 x 210 mm (5.83 x 8.27 inches) to 215.9 x 355.6 mm (8.5 x 14 inches).
    When printing on custom-size media, if tray 1  is configured in the printer control panel as TRAY X TYPE=
    ANY TYPE  and TRAY X SIZE= ANY , the printer will print on whatever media is loaded  in the tray.
    Some software programs and printer drivers allow  you to specify custom media-size dimensions. Be
    sure to set the correct media size in both the page  setup and print dialog boxes. If your software does
    not allow this, specify the custom  media-size dimensions in the PAPER HANDLING control-panel menu.
    See 
    Paper Handling menu  for more information.
    If your software program requires you to calculat e margins for custom-size media, see the online Help
    for that program.
    Stopping a print request
    You can stop a print request by using the printer co ntrol panel or using your software program. For
    instructions on how to stop a print request from a  computer on a network, see the online Help for the
    specific network software.

    							Managing memory
    The HP Color LaserJet 3000 and 3800 Series printers support up to 512 MB of memory. You can add
    additional memory by installing a dual inline memo ry module (DIMM) in the DIMM slot, which accepts
    128, 256, or 512 MB of RAM. For in formation about installing memory, see 
    Working with memory.
    The printer uses 200-pin, nonparity, synchronous DRAM memory modules. Extended data output (EDO)
    DIMMs are not supported.
    NOTE If memory problems occur when you are printing complex graphics, you can make more
    memory available by removing downloaded fonts, style sheets, and macros from printer memory.
    Reducing the complexity of a print job from  within an application can help avoid memory
    problems.
    NOTE Be sure to update the printer configuratio n in the printer driver after adding memory.
