(3) VT (Vertical Tabulation)
When the VT code is input, all data preceding this code is printed and the vertical tabulation is made to a predetermined line position set by “ESC B” (up to 8 posi- tions). If no vertical tab position is set by ESC B, the VT code behaves like the LF code. Therefore, the paper is advanced one line after printing.
(4) FF (Form Feed)
The FF code causes the Printer to execute the printing of all data stored in the print buffer and advances the paper to the next predetermined Top of Form posi- tion.
NOTES: 1. The Top of Form is determined when the POWER switch is turned on or the INIT signal is applied.
2.If the form length per page is not set, one page length of form is re- garded as 66 lines with the DIP switch pin
(1)HT (Horizontal Tabulation)
The HT code carries out the horizontal tabulation to a predetermined position set by “ESC D” (up to 12 positions). The tab setting exceeding the column length set by the DIP switch or ESC code will be ignored. In enlarged character mode, the tab setting will not be effective and ignored.
(2)ESC D + nl + nz + + nk + NUL (I 5 (n)o i 132, k 5 12)
This code specifies the horizontal tab stop positions. “n” denotes column posi- tion where the print head stops. The first 12 tab stops per line are recognized in the Printer, and subsequent tab stops are ignored. The tab stop positions can be specified up to 96 columns in normal character mode and 159 columns in condensed character mode. The excess tab positions, if specified, will be ig- nored.
16ns96 in normal character mode
IS ns 1 5 9 in condensed character mode
In enlarged character mode, the tabulation is not effective. To execute tabula- tion, the HT code should be input.
The NUL code should be input as the command for the termination of the tab set sequence, and the lack of this code will cause incorrect data printout.
