Troubleshoot using crop and bleed marks
My crop or bleed marks didn't print.
You may need to select options to print crop or bleed marks.
Print crop or bleed marks with your publication
- On the File menu, click Print.
- Click Advanced Print Settings.
- On the Publication Options tab, do one or both of the following:
- Under Printer’s marks, click Crop marks.
- Under Bleeds, click Bleed marks.
- Click OK twice.
Or, if your page (publication) size is almost as large as your paper size,
the crop marks
might fall in the nonprintable region.
Determine your desktop printer's nonprintable region
- On the Windows taskbar, click the Start button, point to Settings,
and then click Printers.
- Right-click the name of the printer you're using, and then click Properties.
- Click the Paper tab.
- If the Properties dialog box does not have a Paper tab,
click the other tabs until you find one that contains information on the
nonprintable region. If you don't find one, check your printer
documentation or contact your printer manufacturer.
- Click Unprintable Area.
- The numbers in the Left, Right, Top, and Bottom
boxes represent the size of the nonprintable region in inches.
