Oman Arab Bank prints at 202 x 93 mm, the same as Bank Dhofar and National Bank of Oman. What distinguishes it is the crossing: it is the only Omani layout with an A/C payee crossing block enabled. The other four leave it off.

Using the crossing
The crossing prints as a vertical band rather than the corner diagonals used on Indian cheques. It is driven by the A/C Payee option at print time, so you decide per cheque — or set it as the default for a whole cheque book if you always issue crossed.
If your Oman Arab Bank stationery already carries a printed crossing, you do not want a second one. Check a blank leaf and leave the option off if so.
Three decimals for the rial
Set decimal digits to 3. OMR is divided into 1,000 baisa; the default 2 will round and misstate amounts.
