I have not used Rave, but in general you want to set your top and bottom margins to zero (0).

You mean you have a printer that can cut the paper? or do you mean the check-forms are less than A4 or Letter size, and you want a page-advance to stop at the next check?

For the paper-cut you have to send a special code to the printer to activate the knife.
For the printer to stop at the next top of form so the user can tear-off the printed check, add the check-form size to the paper sizes (if it doesn't exsist yet), and select that papersize before starting the printjob.

I have a sequence of cheques and each page have 3 cheques and these are predesigned with different spaces between and bottom,the printing is just to fill the cheque with value,etc...
If in first printing i print 1 cheque; still missing two of them but in the next printing i have to jump one record or "leave the first" to do the right layout.It is a bit complicated situation and i dont know if you are understanding.

You will have to catch this situation in your app, say it remembers the no. of checks it has printed on the last used page, the next time assume the user will put the same page in the printer again, so you have to skip the first 1 checks and start printing on the next (second), after printing, remeber the new no. (2) and next time have the user select the actual no. of checks to skip. It should be 2, as you printed 2 checks so far, byt the user may want to get a new page, and needs to start with 0 skipped checks...
In your app, you already know the number of mm or inch to skip, multiply by the no. of checks, and the offset is born.

I hope this is a little clear, if not I'll rephrase ;-)

Is there some printer options property where you determine the papersize?

Have a look in the printers unit, it's a tad complex, but you'll get there (knowing your reputation on this forum...)

Thanks TonHu for your help the rave has to have the choice of jumping lines and i give the opportunity of user to click on first,middle or bottom cheque.
