Set vertical tab positions

<ESC> “B” n1 n2...nk <0> (1B)H (42)H n1 n2...nk (00)H

1 n1 < n2 < n3 <....< nk 255, 1 k 16

Cancels all current vertical tab positions and sets new vertical tab positions at lines n1, n2, etc., where n1, n2, etc. are numbers between 1 and 255. A maximum of 16 vertical tab positions can be set. Tab positions must be specified in ascending order; any violation of ascending order terminates the tab position list. Standard termination is by the <0> control code. Vertical tab positions are set in terms of the current line spacing and do not move if the line spacing is changed later.

If a tab set position <nk> is equivalent or smaller than <nk–1> just preceding the tab set position, setting of vertical tab is assumed as complete.
