There is a far more advanced method. 

Say that you have a screen version and a paper one. You can crosslink them.
In the screen version you say: 

\coupledocument
  [alternative]
  [doc-let]
  [chapter,section,subsection]
  [The Alternative Version]

\setuphead
  [chapter,section,subsection]
  [file=alternative]

and the paper version you use [doc-scr] instead, given that you have both
those files. Run them a couple of times and you will notice that you can
click on titles and go from screen to paper annd vise versa. 

In a similar fashion, you can automatically print subranges, say chapters
only, without the need to fill in pages in the print screen.

Say: 

\setupsubpagenumbering
  [way=bychapter,
   state=start]

\useJSscripts[fil]

Now you can make a button:  

\goto{Print Chapter}[PrintSubPages]

and voila, another small secret uncovered.
