Explanation:

This command allows setting of up to 16 vertical tabs. The tabs can be set in 8 channels using the ESC b command. This command sets the tabs in channel 0. These are entered as nl, n2, n3, etc. (in the range 1 to 254) with the NUL character as the terminator. The tab settings nl, n2, n3, etc. must be entered in ascending order. The tab settings can be cleared by executing the command giving a value of zero to n1. Altering the line spacing after giving this command does not affect the absolute position of the tab setting.
