Using my my Ricoh AP2600 printer I want to feed envelopes with the narrow side first, which means the the print image must be rotated 90 degrees. It is not clear how this can be done in
What about something like: \definepapersize[env][width=4.25in,height=9.5in] \papersize[env][env] \setuplayout [topspace=1in,bottomspace=1in,backspace=1.5in,cutspace=.5in, header=0pt,footer=0pt,margin=0pt, width=middle,height=middle] \starttext \rotated [rotation=90] {\rbox{ Name\\ Street\\ State }}% \stoptext vit ---------------------------------------------------------------- <snip> Never mind.

Still curious if there is a Context solution to this common problem.

Hi John, That was the same for me: \rotated is not defined. However looking into my ConTeXt archives I found an example about rotations, and after a new definition of your paper size discovered that the following works: I hope it is what you are looking for...

if you are uncertain, go to http://texshow.contextgarden.net and search for something like "rotat" or so. Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki and more: http://contextgarden.net
