Hello, I need to arrange A5 paper inside A4, in order to save paper and so
that the cut line always remains inside and the original edge outside.

SHEET 01

    front            reverse
------------      ------------
|    |     |      |    |     |
| 4  |  1  |      |  2 |  3  |
|    |     |      |    |     |
------------      ------------

SHEET 02

    front            reverse
------------      ------------
|    |     |      |    |     |
| 8  |  5  |      |  6 |  7  |
|    |     |      |    |     |
------------      ------------

SHEET 03

    front            reverse
------------      ------------
|    |     |      |    |     |
| 12 |  9  |      |  10|  11 |
|    |     |      |    |     |
------------      ------------

I have this code. How can I modify it to achieve what I want?

\setuppapersize[A5][A4,landscape]
\setuparranging[2UP,2SIDE]

\showframe

\setuplayout[middle]

\starttext
    \dorecurse{100}{\input knuth \relax}
\stoptext

You can only use one imposition schema at once, 2UP should be the right one.

Hi,

is there a specific reason why you want to have 12 pages pers section?
A standard section normally carries 16 pages.
If 16 pages is good for you then you can use \setuparranging[2*2*4] will do this. I.e. you will get 4 sheets of paper with 2 pages on the front and backside of each sheet.

Best

Willi
