Set vertical tab stops A maximum of 64 vertical tab stops can be set. Previously set vertical tab stops are r eset.
The vertical tab stops must be defined in ascending order in lines. The absolute vertic al tab
location depends on the current line spacing.
The line count begins with one at the first print line (see Set first print line).
The set vertical tab stops are not affected by later changes of the line spacin g.
All vertical tab stops are reset if no parameters are specified (ESC B NUL).

Vertical tabulation This control character causes vertical tabulation to the next vertical tab stop. Vertical
tabulation is possible anywhere within a line.
Repeated specification of this control character causes vertical tab stops to b e skipped. If
you transfer VT VT VT, for example, the printer positions the print head to the third vertical
tab stop. If no tab stops are set, this control character causes a line feed.
This control character terminates the expanded mode for one line.
A carriage return is also performed depending on the me nu setting.
