Double sided printing of PDF from USB drive

[BillyFish]

Does anyone know if its possible to print double sided from a PDF file on a memory stick? we have a stand alone printer in the church which has no pc connected to it and every week the order of service is printed on it by using the Copy function, I tried using a pdf of the document on a USB pen drive but couldn't get the printer to print on both sides of the paper and two sheets can out. Ive looked through all the menus but can't find anything that may be of  help.

I'm not familiar with a MFP M467DN model - do you mean M476dn.

I don't have one of those, but I have access to the previous model M475dn. 

With that model, it is possible to set the printer's default Duplex print action to either On or Off:

This is done via the Embedded Web Server - so you'd need a connected computer to do it - I don't think that the front panel menu system offers the option.

Even with the option set to On, this is only a printer default - so it will be over-ridden by any printer 'commands' within an incoming print job which specify the plex mode - most print  jobs do, but not all.

... and the same is probably true of a 'walk-up' PDF file on USB - I don't know whether or not these have any internal 'properties' which identify the required plex mode, or not.

You sir are a genius! I took my laptop down tonight and configured the printer via the web browser to enable duplex print and hey presto it worked. Thanks again for your help.
