Epson 4100 manual Esc B, ESC b Set Vertical Tab Channel

218	Epson FX-100 Control Commands
	ESC B				Set Multiple Vertical Tabs
	ASCII:	ESC	B	(n1)...(n16)	NUL
	Control:	CTRL [	B	(n1)...(n16)	CTRL @
	Decimal:	27	66	(n1)...(n16)	0
	Hexadecimal:	1B	42	(n1)...(n16)	00

Sets vertical tabs to the specified lines. Note that this control command is terminated with a null byte. n denotes the line number for each tab. The valid entries for n are from 2 to the bottom line on the page, as specified by the form length setting. Send the values of n in ascending order. An out of order tab value is interpreted as a terminator.

The tab positions set by ESC B are the same as those set by ESC b (0), vertical tab channel zero.

ESC B and ESC b clear all existing vertical tabs. Therefore, to add one tab, you must include all existing tabs, plus the new one. Use ESC B or ESC b to set the tabs. Use the Vertical Tab control code, VT, to cause the printer to tab to each subsequent tab.

Example
