Show Crop Marks / show cropping
トンボ are little marks sometimes shown as crosshairs which help to know the edge of printing. See the reference for an idea of what this is.

Agree w/ Mikito¥'s comments. Last year I performed a back-translation of an Adobe InDesign CS manual and in that it was consistently referred to as ¥"crop¥" marks or ¥"cropping¥".
Cropping can refer to cutting down an image to size, but this indicates that it is also regularly used to define the range to be printed.

Register marks
These are so-called because the marks resemble dragonflies (tombou).
They are the "cross-hair"-like marks that appear at the edges of a commercially printed item.

化粧断裁の大きさを指定したり，重ね合わせの見当に使うのが，トンボである。位置の基準を示すトンボには，コーナー（角）トンボとセンタートンボがある（図1）。コーナートンボは2本の平行線で構成される。1本のラインは，製本の段階で化粧断ちをするために使われる仕上がり線である。仕上がり線の外側にあるもう1本のラインは，製版処理に必要な面を示す製版寸法線を示す。そのほかに，製本のために使われ，紙の折り位置を示す折りトンボもある。ちなみに，トンボは英語でregister markという。

トンボ表示／非表示 -> Show/hide crop marks
As far as I understand "register mark" is used for printing over a specific area. "Crop mark" indicates the area to be cropped.
My Illustrator 8 (the de facto DTP standard tool) has "Crop Marks" function, and the same function is called "トンボ" in my Illustrator 10 Japanese version. Ho hum... ;-)

: http://www.marrak.com/prepress.html talks about "register and corner marks". I assume that the latter are トンボ.
