Programs up to 12 sets (channels) of vertical tabs.

SP...SP n...?

n... 63

 

The maximum tab stops in one set (channel) is 27.

 

 

 

This command works in conjunction with the VT

 

 

 

command followed by a channel code (n). When

 

 

 

the VT command is received, the printer skips to

 

 

 

the next tab stop in that channel.

 

 

 

To set your tabs, follow the DC4 code with one SP

 

 

 

code for each line to be skipped in order to

 

 

 

advance to the line where you want your first tab

 

 

 

stop. For example, the command

 

 

 

DC4 32 32 32 5 32 12 32 32 20 32 32 32 32....32 63

 

 

 

causes the printer to skip 3 lines, enters a tab stop

 

 

 

at 5, skips 1 line, enters a tab stop at 12, skips 2

 

 

 

lines, enters a tab stop at 20, and then skips

 

 

 

however many lines remain on the page.
