how to print a simple booklet
Hi, this is probably a question with very simple solution, but I cannot figure it out or find a solution in wiki or manual. I just want to print simple booklet and after and after picking papers from printer do a single fold. With the following code the TITLE PAGE is correctly placed to the right of first sheet but all pages have backspace and page number on the right edge. Is that correct behaviour or I'm missing some basic fact? \setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape] \setuparranging[2UP] \setuplayout[ width=8cm,height=middle, backspace=10mm,topspace=10mm, footer=8mm,header=0mm, alternative=doublesided] \setuppagenumbering[location={footer,left},alternative=doublesided] \showframe \starttext TITLE PAGE \page[yes] \dorecurse{15}{\input knuth} \stoptext Thanks Jan
Maybe I have not described my doubts clearly enough. I see that on all arranged pages the backspace and page numbers (specified as footer,left) are in the middle of A4 page, I would expect them on outer edges... Dne 13.6.2013 09:38, Jan Pohanka napsal(a):

\setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape] \setuparranging[2UP]
\setuplayout[ width=8cm,height=middle, backspace=10mm,topspace=10mm, footer=8mm,header=0mm, alternative=doublesided]
\setuppagenumbering[location={footer,left},alternative=doublesided]
\showframe
\starttext
TITLE PAGE \page[yes]
\dorecurse{15}{\input knuth}
\stoptext
Thanks Jan

Works here. Did you forget to compile with the --arrange flag? Thomas

Hi, --arrange flag has no impact on the output. Please check the outputfile in attachment. Maybe it is just my misunderstanding but I think that page number should be placed on the left side of page 2, on the right side of page 3, etc. thanks Jan

Yes :) It helps with page number position, and everything is ok when using \setuplayout[width=middle]. But when one use narrower width then the backspace is on the opposite side. I always thought that backspace is on the left side of single page, or on the outer sides when the sheets are in a book. thanks Jan

thanks Jan So is the problem caused just by my total misunderstanding of page layout?

Probably. Backspace is for the back of the book, i.e. the inner sides. -- Peter

Now I see, thank you for this confirmation. So eg. the \setuppagenumbering[location={footer,left} means that the numbers would be on the left side on the right pages of a book. So I was dumb and ConTeXt behaves correctly.
