back to back printing of individual pages within a document

In a mail mered document, I need to have the first two pages set up to print
back to back (letterheaded) and the following pages on plian A4, before
completeing the merge. can anyone advise, please.

If your printer accepts PCL commands, you may be able to use PRINT fields.
A PRINT field is simply a type of field that allows you to send instructions
directly to the printer.

There are 3 possible data values for duplex setting: PRINT 27"&l0S" simplex
PRINT 27"&l1S" vertical duplex . PRINT 27"&l2S" horizontal duplex
(bookformat) There are similar constructions for bin settings, check your
printer documentation.

The codes after PRINT are 27 (escape), double quote, ampersand, lowercase L,
0, 1 or 2, uppercase S and finally terminated with a double quote.

Thus for horizontal duplex you would insert the following field :
{ PRINT 27"&l2S" }
