Bank Sohar's cheque is 180 x 75 mm — the most compact of the Omani formats. For scale, three of the other four Omani banks print at 202 x 93, so this is 22 mm narrower and 18 mm shorter than its neighbours.

Where three decimals bites hardest
Omani amounts need three decimal places, which means the figures field carries an extra character compared with a two-decimal currency — OMR 12,450.750 rather than 12,450.75. On a 180 mm cheque that extra digit has to fit in a box designed for it, so check the figures field specifically on your test print, not just the words.
Set decimal digits to 3 in Settings before anything else.
Font sizing on a small cheque
ChequeMaster sets font and size per field, which is what makes a cheque this size workable. If text crowds:
- Reduce the amount-in-words lines first — they carry the most characters.
- Leave the date and amount in figures at a readable size; they are short and they are what a teller checks.
- Keep both word lines on so long amounts wrap rather than overflow.
Paper handling
Bring the tray guides in for a 180 mm leaf, or use a manual feed slot if your printer has one. Small cheques skew more readily than large ones, and skew is the one alignment problem margins cannot correct.
