306 DEC LA210 Control Commands
HTS Horizontal Tab Set
ASCII: HTS
Control: not applicable
Decimal: 136
Hexadecimal: 88
Performs the same function as ESC H and ESC 1. Adds a horizontal tab
at a column, but not at a physical position on the page. HTS is valid only
if the upper data bytes have been enabled by selecting "8 Bit DEC" in the
configuration menu and if the C1 control codes have been enabled using
ESC SP 7.
HT Horizontal Tab
ASCII: HT
Control:
CTRL
I
Decimal: 9
Hexadecimal: 09
Causes the active column to advance to the next horizontal tab position to
the right of the current column. If there are no tabs to the right of the
current column, the active column becomes the column after the right
margin.
VTS Vertical Tab Set
*
ASCII: VTS
Control: not applicable
Decimal: 138
Hexadecimal: 8A
Adds a vertical tab at the current line. Vertical tabs are set at line
numbers not at physical locations on the page. VTS is valid only if the
upper data bytes have been enabled by selecting "8 Bit DEC" in the
configuration menu and if the C1 control codes have been enabled using
ESC SP 7.
Changing horizontal character pitch also changes the physical position of tab stops. These commands only set or clear
the tabs. The Horizontal Tab control code, HT, causes the active column to advance to subsequent tab positions.
Selecting or cancelling font pitches, changing the print quality to draft or NLQ, or changing the print area also changes the
physical position of the tabs.
