Printing trim marks for offline trimming

Syntax

XPath:

/JDF/ResourcePool/Layout/MarkObject/CutMark/@Marktype = “LowerLeftCutMark”

/JDF/ResourcePool/Layout/MarkObject/CutMark/@Marktype = “UpperLeftCutMark”

/JDF/ResourcePool/Layout/MarkObject/CutMark/@Marktype = “LowerRightCutMark”

Description

You must always specify all four trim marks. There is no support for printing individual trim marks. The positions of the trim marks are taken from the PDF file. The trim marks will be placed on the corners of the TrimBox. If the TrimBox does not exist, the MediaBox is used.

The MarkTypes used may be printer dependent.

...

<Layout ID="layout_1" Class="Parameter" Status="Available">

<MarkObject>

<CutMark MarkType =" LowerLeftCutMark "/>

<CutMark MarkType =" UpperLeftCutMark "/>
