ESC B n1..n254 
k1..k64 NUL
Vertical Tabulation Program | Hexadecimal code: 1B 42 n1..n254 k1..k64 00 |
n = 1 - 254 k = 1 - 64
The values of parameters n indicate the lines on which the tabulation stops will be positioned (the top of form is 1). The line feed applied is the current one.
Parameter k defines a vertical tabulation program with a maximum of 64 stops.
At
When a vertical tabulation program is executed, all the current vertical tabulation stops are cleared. If there is no vertical tabulation program, the command VT executes a single line feed.
ESC D n1 .. n255 
k1.. k28 NUL 
Horizontal Tabulation Program | Hexadecimal code: 1B 44 n1..n255 k1..k28 00 |
n = 1 - 255 k = 1 - 28
The values of the parameters n indicate the columns in which the tabulation stops will be positioned (the left edge is column 1). The print pitch applied is the current one. At power- on, the default setting is one tab stop every 8 characters, starting from column 9.
