registration marks

Using FrameMaker 10 on Windows:

I have a book with an odd-sized page (3¾ x 8½) that I am printing on regular 8½ x 11 paper.  Each file of the book uses a common page layout, common reference pages, &c. In the File—>Print menu, I have selected either Western or Tombo registration marks. When I print some of the individual files of the book, I can get the registration marks to appear. But for other files in the book — or when I attempt to print the entire book — registration marks will not appear.

What attribute of a file (or book) controls whether registration marks can be produced?

    When you are using the SaveAsPDF option for the book (which is the recommended route [now] over the File > Print], the Registration Marks are found on the Settings tab. Onc these have been selected, they are sticky (i.e. FM remembers what you used last).

    Using the File > Print settings, there is a difference in what FM remembers between printing individual files and printing the book file. You have to ensure that every file (including the book) has the correct setting when using this route.
