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.
See \setuplayout in the manual.
By using Layers, you can also place elements at specific places, as done in the BusinessCard example. Another use for this is for adding a graphic to every page to indicate chapters (sometimes known as a thumb index).
