Default is, that the page is centered on the paper, if the page and paper s= ize are the same. However if you want a binding correction = you need to do calculations yourself in order to be able to set the paramet= ers correct ly. = Check for the setuplayout command. = \setuplayout [ backspace=3D left white+binding correction, width=3D text width which leaves enough whitespace at the right includ= ing some cut space, topspace=3D top white including cut space, height=3D text height including header and footer space, leaving enoug= h bottom white and cut space, leftmargin=3D backspace - binding correction - left margin distance, leftmargindistance=3D ..., rightmargin=3D ..., rightmargindistance=3D ..., marking=3Don, ... Keep in mind that a book normally is cut after binding the bookblock at the= front, top and bottom that is what I indicate with cut space.
