Narrative:

During early morning departure, weight and balance data was sent via ACARS. Wind was down runway 34, 15 KTS, gusting 30 KTS. Weight and balance information on takeoff consisted of the standard 4 pages of data on screen. While taxiing out we entered takeoff weight into FMC and posted V1, vr and V2 for gross weight, failing to fully check all weight and balance data for runway restrictions. The result was, at takeoff, the aircraft weight was 3200# over maximum for takeoff on runway 34. Takeoff was uneventful, but realize we used more runway than usual. Corrective action: check all pages of prepared data and compare data to data in weight and balance handbook for the particular runway used.
