This JavaScript is for printing booklets in duplex mode - printing only the front pages. You can adjust the code for your situation.

pp.pageHandling = pp.constants.handling.booklet;
pp.booklet.duplexMode = pp.constants.bookletDuplexModes.FrontSideOnly;
this.print(pp);

constants.bookletDuplexModes has three properties: BothSides, FrontSideOnly and BackSideOnly.

For printers that print only on one side, use FrontSideOnly first then reinsert the printed pages and print again with BacksideOnly to complete a manual duplex printing.
