Dear Hraban

Thanks - I had these settings already but had given far too large a veroffset. By reducing the veroffset I have the printed page further up on the A4 sheet so that the bottom crop marks now show up. But I'm still getting only two (at the left) on an odd page and two (on the right) on an even page. Very odd!

Best wishes

You need

\setuplayout[location=middle,marking=on]

and of course a bigger sheet size than page size:
