You have several choices for commercial B/W 6XXX/91XX-type equipment.
1) You can use SPD (setpagedevice) commands embedded as PostScript in PostScript XObjects to control low level device characteristics of the printer. This does not work on the 9110 series of equipment because PS XObjects are not supported.
2) You can use KDK or XRX commands prepended to the front of the job.
3) You can create different page sizes and set up a job ticket to trigger proper drawer selection based on page size.
This has been discussed in pdf-dev forum on numerous occasions. Please no "SPD is bad" flames - this is what works commercially.

Mathew,
Have you considered changing default settings of printer to duplex and then renaming printer ("duplex" perhaps?). You, your IT or Xerox people can then install printer again as a further printer under original name and defaults.
Simple printer selection ("duplex") would automatically produce duplexed pages.

I asked a similar question a couple a months ago about embedding
commands to switch trays. The solution wasn't successful.
We have a web app where we are creating PDFs from XML documents. We
have a process where at the end of the day, we can merge all the
different PDFs created throughout the day into one giant PDF. We'd like
to print the entire stream on our batch (Xerox) printers. The printers
we have (I'm not sure model #) don't allow the operators to easily
switch the job stream to duplex. Is there a way to embed directly into
the PDF without ripping to postscript to allow it print the stream in
duplex mode and then at the end of the stream switch it back to simplex.
I would appreciate a quick response as this is still our biggest issue to resolve (along with tray switching which we are putting off for the interim) and we are coming up to the go live date.
