6. Click the Marks and Bleed option in the list of categories.
Activate the All Printer’s Marks option and change the Offset field to 0.125 in.
Make sure the Use Document Bleed Settings option is checked.
You can specify individual printer’s marks or simply print them all. For proofing
purposes, the crop and bleed marks are the most important options to include.
The Offset value determines how far from the page edge printer’s marks will be placed;
some printers require printer’s marks to stay outside the bleed area, which means the
offset should be at least the same as the defined bleed area.

The offset determines how
far from the page edge
marks will be placed.

If you added a slug to
the page, you can
include it in the output.

7. Click the Output option in the list of categories.
If you can print color, choose Composite CMYK or Composite RGB in
the Color menu; otherwise, choose Composite Gray.
In the Color menu, you can choose the color model you want to use. (If you only have
a black-and-white printer, this menu will default to Composite Gray.) The composite
options output all colors to a single page, which is appropriate for a desktop proof.
If you choose either Separations option in the menu, the Inks list shows which inks
(separations) will be included in the output.

When printing separations,
choose the line screen and
resolution for the output.

When printing separations,
click any of these icons to
prevent output of that ink
separation.

The Trapping, Flip, Negative, Screening, Frequency, and Angle options should only
be used by the output service provider; these options relate to the way separations are
imaged on a printing plate for commercial print output.
