Sets vertical tabs to the specified lines. Note that this control command is
terminated with a null byte. n denotes the line number for each tab. The
valid entries for n are from 2 to the bottom line on the page, as specified
by the form length setting. Send the values of n in ascending order. An
out of order tab value is interpreted as a terminator.
The tab positions set by ESC B are the same as those set by ESC b (0),
vertical tab channel zero.
ESC B and ESC b clear all existing vertical tabs. Therefore, to add one
tab, you must include all existing tabs, plus the new one. Use ESC B or
ESC b to set the tabs. Use the Vertical Tab control code, VT, to cause
the printer to tab to each subsequent tab.
Example

Sets vertical tabs to the specified lines for the vertical tab Channel m.
Note that this control sequence is terminated with a null byte. m denotes
the tab channel. The valid entries for m are 0 to 7. n denotes the line
number for each tab. The valid entries for n are from 2 to the bottom line
on the page, as specified by the form length setting. Send the values of n
in ascending order. An out of order tab value is interpreted as a
terminator.
Note
: The tab positions for Channel 0 can also be set with ESC B.
