We've used Brother monochrome laser for years. Our Apple devices (Macs; iPads; iPhones) always remember the last Brother printer used AND its last settings. Pick an item to print, then tap the Share button, then "More.." and scroll to find PRINT.... You get this dialog box:
[from iPad A16 128GB running 27.2; 9 Nov 2026]
If the "Double-sided" option is "On," toggle it off. It should remain off for subsequent print jobs or until reset to double.
If that does not work, then use the printer's control panel as our wise LotusPilot suggests.

Available print options are advertised by the printer and selected from the iPad's print dialogue. By example (here for an HP Smart Tank):
You might also check your Brother Printer's own printer settings - usually accessed from the Printer's front-panel controls - or its Embedded Web Server (EWS) pages using your preferred browser App.
