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.
ESC B clears all existing vertical tabs. Therefore, to add one tab, you
must include all existing tabs, plus the new one. Use ESC B to set the
tabs. Use the Vertical Tab control code, VT, to cause the printer to tab to
each subsequent tab.
