They are marks placed outside the cropped/ active area to allow the printer to align the layers (or letterpress plates, as the case may be). It can be those target icons or any other mark, and they get cropped/trimmed off. For my work (greeting cards), it's crop marks that are used.
Hi, if I want to save the layers in a specific folder and not the folder of the orginal files, which lines of code should I replace with the path of the folder?

If you wish to use a dialog to select, change this try/catch block from:
try {
var outputPath = app.activeDocument.path.fsName;
} catch (e) {
var outputPath = Folder.selectDialog("Unsaved base file, select the output folder:");
}
To:
var outputPath = Folder.selectDialog("Select the output folder:");
Or if you prefer to use a common, cross-platform location such as the user's Desktop, or Documents folders:
var outputPath = "~/Desktop";
Otherwise put in the full path to the folder/directory...
Mac example:
var outputPath = "/Users/user name/the folder"
Windows example (directory path using cross-platform JS single forward slashes):
var outputPath = "C:/the parent folder/the child directory";
Windows example (directory path using Windows back slashes, but they need to be JS escaped/double):
var outputPath = "C:\\the parent folder\\the child directory";
Have fun!
