Hi Hans, I should print on a sheet of etiquettes made by Avery. The topspace as the bottomspace is 15 mm the left and right non printable area is 7 mm. On the rest of the printing area there are 21 etiquettes with a horizontal distance of 3mm. There is no vertical gap in the columns of etiquettes. I setup the XY arrangement. The etiquettes look o.k. The problem is, that Context ignores the topspace and backspace as setup in \setuppaper. For your reference I add a minimal example. Could you please have a look why the mentioned parameters are ignored? Thanks, kind regards Willi \setupoutput[pdftex] \usetypescript[modern][texnansi] \setupbodyfont[modern,ss,10pt] \setupcolors[state=start] %Avery etiket 38.1 x 63.5 mm topspace 15 mm, % bottomspace = 15 mm, margin 7 mm both sides, % 21 etikettes per sheet \definepapersize[Etiket][height=38.1mm,width=63.5mm] \setuppapersize [Etiket][A4,portrait] \setuppaper [topspace=15mm, backspace=7mm, % cutspace=7mm, dx=3mm, dy=0mm, nx=3, ny=7, margin=7mm, width=196mm, height=267mm] \setuplayout [topspace=4mm, backspace=4mm, margin=0mm, width=55.5mm, height=30mm, header=0mm, footer=0mm] \setuparranging[XY] \definelayer[Etiket][width=\textwidth, height=\textheight] \setupframedtexts[frame=off,width=\textwidth,align=middle] \startbuffer[Logoinhalt] Place of logo \stopbuffer \showframe \starttext \dorecurse{21}{% \setlayer [Etiket] [preset=righttop,location={left,bottom}] {\bfb Productname} \setlayer [Etiket] [preset=leftbottom,location={right,top}] {\switchtobodyfont[7pt]\getbuffer[Logoinhalt]} \placelayer[Etiket]} \stoptext

ha, you looked into the source, well, see end of page-imp for a special paper size XY where these are used. % \setuppapersize [XY][A4] % \setuppaper [topspace=5mm,backspace=5mm,dx=1mm,dy=1mm,nx=2,ny=6] % \setuplayout [page] [topspace=5mm,backspace=5mm] % \setuplayout [page] % \setuplayout [location=middle] % \setuparranging [XY] % \showframe % % \starttext \dorecurse{30}{test \recurselevel \page} \stoptext in your case: just don't set the width and height because they are calculated automatically; f you want topskip etc i need to implement that of course you can add the offsets to the layout: % width=196mm, ]% height=267mm] \setuplayout [topspace=19mm, backspace=11mm, === original code ====
