Set Vertical Tab Channels

Set Vertical Tab Channels

ASCII Code	ESC / m
Hex Code	1B 2F m
Dec Code	27 47 m
Purpose	The value for m specifies the number of the tab sets being
	changed; these sets of tabs are called vertical formatting unit
	(VFU) channels.
	Where:
	0 <= m <= 7
Comment	You must use this command to select a tab set (VFU channel)
	other than set 0; the VT (tab vertically) command then uses the
	settings for the selected channel.
	You can select from eight sets of tabs (VFU channels).

Set Vertical Tabs

ASCII Code ESC B n1 n2 … nk NUL

Hex Code 1B 42 n1 n2 … nk 00

Dec Code 27 66 n1 n2 … nk 0

Purpose Sets vertical tab positions (in the current line spacing) at the lines specified by n1 to nk, as measured from the top-margin position.

The values for n must be in ascending order; a value of n less than the previous n ends tab setting (just like the NUL code).

Where:

0 <= k <= 16

1 <= n <= 255

nk > nk-1

Comment Changing the line spacing does not affect previous tab settings.

The tab settings move to match any subsequent movement in the top-margin position.

Send an ESC B NUL command to cancel all tab settings.

A maximum of 16 vertical tabs can be set.

The printer stores all tab settings, even if outside the printing area; if you increase the page length to include previously set tabs, you can move to those positions with the VT (tab vertically) command.

Sending the ESC B command clears any previous tab settings.
