Use... with offset
Determines how much of the area around the page's bleed or

To image content outside the page's bleed or trim box, type
a positive value and select a measurement from the list. The
offset amount you choose depends on the size of the gutter,
but typically 6 to 13 mm (0.25 to 0.5 inches) is sufficient.
Duplex Offsets
This option applies only if you are outputting to a duplexing
laser printer.
Adjust for the mechanical misalignment in the laser printer's
duplexing unit. There are alignment test targets that you can

Along Height
values to
compensate for any misalignments. Select the units of measure
in the list.

positions in the imposition.
