Hi Andreas,

[2SIDE] is an impositioning scheme for singlesided printing only. You can not make a booklet from this. This scheme is intended for e.g. handouts from a screenpresentation. The same applies for [2TOP]

If you want to prepare a booklet you might use [2UP] or [2DOWN]. These two schemes are for double sided printing.

When playing with impositioning it is a good idea to add pagenumbers, so you can see what happens.

e.g.
\starttext
\strut\page 
\dorecurse{5}{test~\pagenumber\page}
\stoptext
