HT Horizontal Tab

ASCII: HT

Control: CTRL I

Decimal: 9

Hexadecimal: 09

Causes the printer to tab to the next tab setting set by control command ESC D or to the default tab (every 8 columns) if ESC D has not been sent. If no tabs exist to the right of the current column, HT is ignored.

VT Vertical Tab

ASCII: VT

Control: CTRL K

Decimal: 11

Hexadecimal: 0B

Causes the printer to print the data stored in the print buffer, then tab to the next tab setting set by ESC B or ESC b. If no tabs exist past the current position on the page, VT performs the same function as linefeed (LF). If Auto Carriage Return (CR on LF) is enabled, a carriage return is performed after VT.
