Enter the desired margins sizes to adjust the spaces between the outside edges
of pages and the edges of the sheet on which they are printed.
Margin settings need to suit finishing equipment and requirements. Confirm binding
parameters with your binder when planning your sheet.
Marks and Bleed
The
Marks & bleed parameter enables you to mark where trimming and folding
should occur.
When you set bleed options, you extend part or all of the printed image beyond the
trimming boundary. The bleed options ensure that an inaccurate trim setting will not
leave an undesired white space at the edge of the page. The bleed options produce
sharp page boundaries with color that extends all the way to the edge of the page.
To select marks and bleed options:

If your job already includes crop marks incorporated by the DTP
application, you do not need to add crop marks here. If you do add crop
marks, both sets of crop marks can be printed.
•
If you want to use crop marks incorporated by the DTP application,
make sure that enough space is left around your page in the PostScript
file so that the page prints with crop marks.
