Purpose

Moves the horizontal print position to the next tab to the right of

margin.

Purpose

Moves the vertical print position to the next vertical below the

 

current print position.

 

Moves the horizontal print position to the left-margin position.

Comment

The printer advances to the top-margin position of the following

 

page if the next tab is below the bottom-margin position or if no

 

tab is set below the current position.

 

The VT command functions the same as a CR command

 

(moves the horizontal print position to the left-margin position) if

 

all tabs have been cancelled with the ESC B NUL command.

 

The VT command functions the same as an LF command

 

(advances one line in the current line spacing and moves the

 

horizontal print position to the left-margin position) if no tabs

 

have been set since the printer was turned on or was reset with

 

the ESC@ command.

 

The VT command functions the same as an FF command

 

(advances to the top-margin position on the next page) if some

 

tabs have been set, but no tab is set between the current print

 

position and the bottom-margin position.

 

This command cancels double-width printing set with the SO,

 

ESC SO, or FS SO commands.
