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.

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.
