Using my my Ricoh AP2600 printer I want to feed envelopes with

rotated 90 degrees. It is not clear how this can be done in
Context. Here is an example file:

Never mind. I did it in plain TeX with pstricks thus:
\input pstricks
\special{papersize=4.25in,9.5in}
\voffset 4.5in
\parindent 0pt
\parskip 0pt
\def\crlf{\hfil\break}

\leftskip 3.75in
\obeylines
\input addr
}
}
}
\bye
Instead of printing a horizontal page and rotating the page
I printed a vertical page and rotated the text within it.
Still curious if there is a Context solution to this common
problem.

Hi John,
That was the same for me: \rotated is not defined.
However looking into my ConTeXt archives I found an example about
rotations, and after a new definition of your paper size discovered
that the following works: I hope it is what you are looking for...
Best regards: OK
%%% envelope-2.tex
\definepapersize[env][width=9.5in,height=4.25in]
\setuppapersize
[env,rotated] % this rotates the page
[env,landscape] % onto a landscaped size
\setuplayout[location=left,width=middle,height=middle]
