# A User's Guide for HDF5

This page provides a means of printing the HDF5 User's Guide with a single print command as follows:

1. Open this page in Internet Explorer, version 4.0 or or later. (Sorry, but as of this writing, Netscape does not offer the required print feature.)
2. On the File menu, select Print.
3. In the Print dialogue box, select Print all linked documents.
4. Select OK. Depending on the print settings of your browser, this will produce a 100- to 200-page set of documents, one chapter or section at a time.
5. Once the print job is complete, discard the first page printed (this page). The rest of the printout should form a complete copy of the HDF5 User's Guide.
