HP LaserJet 3050z User Manual

							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.

							Canceling a print job
If your print job is currently printing, you can cancel it by pressing Cancel on the all-in-one control
panel.
CAUTION Pressing Cancel clears the job that the all-in-one is currently processing. If more
than one process is running (for example, the all-in-one is printing a document while receiving
a fax), pressing Cancel clears the process that currently appears on the all-in-one control
panel.
You can also cancel a print job from a software program or a print queue.
To stop the print job immediately, remove the  remaining print media from the all-in-one. After printing
stops, use one of the following options:
● Device control panel:
 To cancel the print job, press and release  Cancel on the all-in-one
control panel.
● Software program:
 Typically, a dialog box appears briefly on the computer screen, allowing
you to cancel the print job.
● Windows print queue:
 If a print job is waiting in a print queue (computer memory) or print
spooler, delete the job there.
● Windows 98, Windows Me, or Windows 2000:
 Go to the Printer dialog box. Click Start,
click  Settings, and then click  Printers. Double-click the all-in-one icon to open the window,
select your print job, and then click  Delete.
● Windows XP:
 Click Start, click  Settings, and then click  Printers and Faxes. Double-click
the icon for the all-in-one to open the window,  right-click the print job that you want to
cancel, and then click Cancel .
● Macintosh print queue:
 Open the print queue by double-clicking the all-in-one icon in the dock.
Then highlight the print job and click  Delete.

This section describes how to fax a document.
Specifying the fax settings
Before you can begin using the all-in-one fax features, you must complete the following tasks:
● Setting the time and date
● Setting the fax header
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.

-or-
If the fax number you are calling has a speed-dial entry, press  Phone Book, use the
alphanumeric buttons to specify the speed-dial entry, and then press 
.
2. Load the document into the automatic document feeder (ADF) input tray or on the flatbed
scanner.
3. Press  Start Fax . If the pages that you want to  send are in the ADF, then faxing begins
automatically.
4. If the all-in-one ADF sensor detects that no  document is loaded into the ADF input tray,  Send
from glass? 1=Yes 2=No  appears on the control-panel display. To send the fax from the
flatbed scanner, press  1 to select  YES, and then press 
.
After you press 
, Load page:X Press  appears on the control-panel display.

6. If you have more pages to scan, press  1 to select  YES, and then repeat step 5 for each page of
the fax job.
-or-
If you are finished, press  2 to select  NO.
When the last page of the fax has exited the  all-in-one, you can start sending another fax, copying, or
scanning.
You can assign a one-touch key or speed-dial entry numbers that you use regularly. See 
To program
or edit speed-dial entries and one-touch keys  and To program group-dial entries . 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.
To send a fax to multiple recipients 
You can send a fax to several fax numbers at once. If you want to send a fax to a group of fax
numbers that you have assigned to a group-dial entry, see the information later in this section about
sending faxes by using group-dial entries. If you want to send a fax to a group of numbers (maximum
of 20) that have  not been assigned a group-dial entry, see the information later in this section about
sending faxes to groups manually (ad hoc faxing).
 In the rare instance that your document does not
