Show and print crop marks
To print crop marks, you must print on a paper size that is larger than the page size that you have set for your publication. Commonly, this requires that you print to an imagesetter, which can define a variety of paper sizes. The crop marks will appear in the print preview pane for your publication
You can also print crop marks by using a desktop printer. You just need to print on a sheet of paper that is larger than the final dimensions that you want after the page is trimmed. .
