Another way is to

	set the page length equal to the total distance of the
	sheet plus gap. (On ours we use Rutishauser sheet feeders
	with Diablos's 1650 (Xerox 1730,...). Then you set a trap at
	the bottom to do a 'bp. I the below example, our sheet
	feeders need AT LEAST 1 inch gap bewteen sheets, on a
	standard 8.5X11 sheet we set the knob on the right hand side
	of the sheet feeder to 12. Below is a short piece of what
	you would have, I included a header just for more stuff.

------------

.pl 72		\" This sets up nroff to 12 inches and 6 lpi
.de hd
.if \\n%>1 'sp 3	\" Put 3 spaces and .tl and 3 more
.if \\n%>1 .tl 'Page %'Bradley University'Your name'
.if \\n%>1 'sp 3
..
.de fo
'bp		\" Note the single quotes used here, in both the
.		\" header and footer so that the lines are filled
.		\" out fully
..
.wh 0 hd	\" do header at top of page
.wh -12 fo	\" do foot at 12 lines from the bottom, rember that
.		\" you have an extra inch so the actual bottom is
.		\" one inch from the bottom
.		\" next you have you text. if you want a new
.		\" page all you do is a .bp if you typing several
.		\" pages then the traps will handle the page breaks
.		\" ok.

Spelling maybe off.
Hope this helps!
