This code specifies the vertical tab stop positions.
The first 64 valid tab stops per page are recognized in the Printer; subsequent tab stops are ignored.
A tab stop set at a line exceeding the form length is ignored. Tab stop numbers must be received in incremental numerical order. To execute predetermined tab stop positions, the VT code should be input. Once vertical tab stops are established, the data will be valid until new tab stops are specified. If no tab stop is set, the VT code behaves like the LF code. Therefore, the paper is advanced one line after printing.
Receipt of “ESC B” code causes the Printer to accept the following codes as tab stop line numbers until the NUL code is input. The lack of the NUL code will cause incorrect data printout.
The form length must be set by “ESC C+n” code prior to setting tab stops.
Input of “ESC 8” code followed by only the NUL code cancels predetermined tab stops.
