Vertical Tabs

Vertical tab stops are associated with lines, not absolute physical positions. Changing line spacing will change the physical position of the tab stops.

Vertical Tab

VT

Causes the current line to be printed, and then advances the paper to the next vertical tab stop. If no vertical tab stops are set, then a line feed is done instead. If “Auto CR” is set to “On” in the interface setup menu, a carriage return will also be performed.

The tab stop set by this escape sequence will be added to previously set tab stops. If this is not desired, the old tab stops should first be cleared.
