Comment In P-Series protocol, if a vertical tab format is defined in the EVFU (channel 12), DVFU, NVFU, or CVFU (channel 2) and the VFU is enabled, the paper is moved to the next vertical tab position.

In Serial Matrix protocol, vertical tab positions are set by control code ESC B and executed by control code VT. In this mode, if Vertical Tabs are loaded, the paper moves to the next vertical tab position.

If a vertical tab format is not defined, the paper is advanced to the next line at the current line spacing. If a vertical tab format is defined but no vertical tab positions are set between the current print position and the end of the form, the paper is advanced to the top of the next form. The VT code resets all sinF gle line print attributes. More information on Vertical Tabs is provided in the Vertical Format Units chapter.
