You can use these design areas in your page:
leftedge | leftmargin | text | rightmargin | rightedge | |
top | . | . | . | . | . |
header | . | . | header | . | . |
text | . | marginals | text | marginals | . |
footer | . | . | footer | . | . |
bottom | . | . | . | . | . |
There's also a "distance" between each of the areas, e.g. leftedgedistance, leftmargindistance (from the named area to the inner).
\setuplayout[backspace=20mm, width=160mm, topspace=20mm, top=0mm, header=0mm, footer=0mm, height=250mm]
You can make all the geometry information visible with \showlayout and the related commands.
See \setuplayout in the manual.
