Printronix P9000 Series manual Vertical Tab Positions, Part Number, Part Name, Quantity

Vertical Tab Positions

Vertical tab positions are assigned to a line number. A maximum of 16 vertical tab positions can be assigned on the form. A sample format is shown in Figure 5-1. The first vertical tab is asF signed line 6 for part number data, a second tab is assigned line 8 for part name data, and a third tab is assigned line 14 for quantity data. The ESC B code is used to assign the vertical tabs to the lines of the form. Once the tab positions are assigned, sending the vertical tab execute code (VT) causes the paper (currently at the top-of-form position) to advance to the first tab posiF tion for PART NUMBER data. Sending another VT moves the paper to the second tab posiF tion for PART NAME, followed by a third VT to access the third tab position for QUANTITY data.
