I was going to add Duplex support to the PCLRenderer, but never got around to it. You or someone could probably add this fairly easily. My suggestion would be to duplicate the method used for orientation (not that it is perfect, just that it is there). I was going to suggest trying to embed the control codes in some output to be rendered, but I think that the PCL duplex command has a fairly low priority and may get reset by commands sent at the start of the page or print job. I am not looking at the code or the PCL manual at the moment, but I suspect that this may be the case. Even if this is not the case, you would probably need an extension function (in Xalan) to get the escape character.
The issue of controlling renderer options from a FO file has come up recently (in regard to orientation). I have not given this any thought, but maybe something should be done to facilitate this. I am going to try to fix a bug in the PCLRenderer today, so maybe I will look into this also.

For each document, we know the print controls(like duplex etc.) Is there a way to embed these controls as part of the PCL stream so that duplex prints are automatically delivered as duplex without any other intervention. All our printers support duplex printing.
