There are also some handy techniques that will allow you to print two-sided documents.

Instructions

1. Select the type of paper you wish to load into the paper tray. Insure the paper is all of one size and is free of curled edges, rips, wrinkles, tears or any metallic objects such as staples or paper clips and is loaded into the paper tray with the short edge forward.

2. Push the stack of paper forward until it stops. Slide the paper width guide toward the right until it is snug against the edge of the stack of paper. Insure the stack of paper does not exceed the the height of the paper edge guide.

3. Open the computer application that houses the document you wish to print. Open the document you wish to print. Move your cursor to the" File" menu. Click with your mouse to open the "File" menu.

4. Move your cursor to the "Print" command in the drop-down menu to open the "Print" dialog box. Select the HP Officejet 5600 Series as your default printer.

5. Locate the "Page Range Option" in the middle of the dialog box. Enter the odd-numbered pages of the document you wish to print, separating each value with a comma. Click the "OK" button.

6. Wait for the Officejet 5600 printer to print your pages. Remove the printed pages from the output tray. Reload the pages onto the top of the stack of paper in the paper tray with the printed side up, top side in first.

7. Move your cursor to the "File" menu. Click with your mouse to open the "File" menu. Locate the "Page Range Option" in the middle of the dialog box. Enter the even-numbered pages of the document you wish to print separating each value with a comma. Click "OK."
