							Printing on special media (HP LaserJet 3390/3392 all-in-one)
1.Open the rear output door.
2.Before feeding the media, open the single-sheet priority  input slot (tray 1), and adjust the media
guides to the width of the media.
3. Feed a single page into the single-sheet priority input slot  (tray 1). Make sure that the top of the
media is forward and the side to be printed (rough side) is facing up. The media feeds partially
into the all-in-one, and then the all-in-one pauses.
4. For Windows printer drivers, open the all-in-one  Properties (or Printing Preferences  in
Windows 2000 and XP). See 
Gaining access to the printer drivers  for instructions.
For Macintosh drivers, on the  Paper/Quality tab or the Paper tab (the  Printer Features  tab for
some Mac drivers), choose the correct media type.
5. Print the document. Remove the media from the back  of the all-in-one as it prints to prevent it
from sticking together, and place the printed pages on a flat surface.

							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 
Guidelines for using media for more information.
CAUTION Be 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.
CAUTION Inspect the media to make sure that it is  not wrinkled or curled and that it does
not have any torn edges or missing labels.
NOTE You can load multiple transparencies in the main input tray (tray 2). However, do not
load more than 75 transparencies at a time.
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.
CAUTION Make 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.
Envelopes
Only use envelopes that are recommended for laser printers. See Guidelines for using media for
more information.
NOTE For 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).

							Heavy paper
●Any tray will print most heavy media that does not exceed 105 g/m2 (28 lb bond).
● Use tray 1 for card stock (135 g/m
2 to 216 g/m2; 50 to 80 lb cover).
● In either the software program 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 216 g/m2; 50 to 80 lb cover) 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 all-in-one back to its original settings after the job has printed.
CAUTION Using 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).
NOTE To 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.

NOTE
If you are installing the all-in-one software on your computer, you can skip the
remaining instructions in this chapter. The software installer automatically helps you to set up
the fax settings, unless you are using Microsoft  Windows® 95 or Windows NT®. See the
electronic User Guide for instructions.
If you completed the software installation, you are ready to send faxes from your computer. If
you did not complete the fax setup process at the time you installed the software, you can
complete it at any time by using the Fax  Setup Wizard in the all-in-one program group (click
Start, Programs , HP , the name of your all-in-one, and  HP Fax Setup Wizard).
In the United States and many other regions/countries, setting the time, date, and other fax
header information is a legal requirement.
Send a fax from the all-in-one
1. Use the alphanumeric buttons on the all-in-one control panel to dial the number.
If the fax number you are calling has been assigned to a one-touch key, press that key.
-or-
If the fax number you are calling has a speed-dial entry, press  Phone Book, use the
alphanumeric buttons to enter the speed-dial entry, and then press 
.
2. Load the document into the automatic document feeder (ADF) input tray or onto the flatbed
scanner.
If you are scanning from the flatbed scanner, select  YES when  Send from glass? 1=Yes 2=No

.
3. Press  Start Fax .
When the last page of the fax has exited the  all-in-one, you can start sending another fax, copying, or
scanning.
To fax to numbers that you use regularly, you can assign a one-touch key or speed-dial entry. See
To program or edit speed-dial entries and one-touch keys  and To program speed-dial entries or one-
touch keys quickly . If you have electronic phone books available, you might be able to use them to
select recipients. Electronic phone books are generated by using third-party software programs.

							Reprint a fax
If you want to reprint a fax because the print cartridge was empty or if the fax was printed on the
wrong type of media, you can try to reprint it. The amount of memory that is available determines the
actual number of faxes that are stored for reprinting.  The most recent fax prints first; the oldest fax
that is in storage prints last.
These faxes are stored continuously. Reprinting them does  not clear them from the memory. To
clear these faxes from the memory, see 
Deleting faxes from memory .
To reprint a fax
Use the following steps to reprint a fax:
NOTE You do not need to use this procedure if the  fax does not print because of a jam or
because the media is completely depleted. During these situations, faxes are received to
memory. As soon as you clear the jam or replenish the media, fax printing automatically
resumes.
1. On the all-in-one control panel, press  Menu.
2. Press the  > button once.  Fax functions appears.
3. Press 
.
4. Use the  < or the  > button until  Reprint last  appears.
5. Press 
. The all-in-one begins reprinting the most recently printed fax.
NOTE To stop the printing at any time, press  Cancel.
CAUTIONIf this setting is set to  Off, misprinted of faded faxes cannot be reprinted.
To change the fax reprint settings
The default fax reprint setting is  On. To change this setting from the all-in-one control panel,
complete the following steps:
1. On the all-in-one control panel, press  Menu.

							Forward received faxes to another fax number
You can set your all-in-one to forward incoming faxes to another fax number. When the fax arrives at
your all-in-one, it is stored in the memory. The all-in-one then dials the fax number that you have
specified and sends the fax. If the all-in-one cannot forward a fax because of an error (for example,
the number is busy) and repeated redial attempts are unsuccessful, your all-in-one prints the fax.
If the all-in-one runs out of memory while receiving a fax, it terminates the incoming fax and only
forwards the pages and partial pages  that have been stored in the memory.
When it is using the fax-forwarding feature, the  all-in-one (rather than the computer) must be
receiving the faxes, and the answer mode must be set to  Automatic (see 
Setting the answer mode).
To use fax forwarding
1. On the all-in-one control panel, press  Menu.
2. Use the  < or the  > button to select  Fax setup, and then press 
.
3. Use the  < or the  > button to select  Fax Recv. setup , and then press 
.
4. Use the  < or the  > button to select  Forward fax, and then press 
.
5. Press the  > button to select  On or  Off, and then press 
.
6. If you turn on the fax-forwarding feature, use the alphanumeric buttons to specify the fax
number where the fax is to be sent, and then press 
 to save your selection.
