Look up the save command and you'll see:

[bleed vertical measurement] -- bleed option for Save Page as EPS

Also, the "true" after "include preview" should not be in quotes.

So you will want something like:

tell application "QuarkXPress 4.11"
set theDoc to (file path of document 1) as text
repeat with i from 1 to count of pages of document 1
save page i of document 1 EPS format Mac color bleed "18 pt" in file
(theDoc & i & ".eps") scale 100 with include preview
end repeat
end tell
