Form Feed
Control character: FF
Hexadecimal: 0C
This command causes the printer to print the current print buffer
contents and then move the printhead to the first print line of the
next form.
Tab Vertically
Control character: VT
Hexadecimal: 0B
This command advances the print position vertically to the next
vertical tab stop in the currently selected vertical tab channel (VTC).
If no VTC has been previously selected, the printer automatically
uses VTC 0. If no tab stops have been set for the selected VTC, the
printer advances the print position to the next print line.

/216 Inch Line Feed
Escape sequence: ESC J n
Hexadecimal: 1B 4A n
This command advances the print position vertically by a value in
the range of 0/216 through 255/216 (0 through 1.18) inches.
Set Vertical Tab Stops
Escape sequence: ESC B n1...n16 NUL
Hexadecimal: 1B 42 n1...n16 00
This command sets up to 16 vertical tab stops (in the current line
spacing) for VTC 0. Subsequent line spacing changes do not affect
these settings. Each of the variables (n1 through n16) can be any
value in the range of 0 through 255.
The tab settings must be entered in ascending order (n1, n2, and so
on); that is, the value of each succeeding n variable must be greater
than the one preceding it. Any n variable with a value of 0 (00)
terminates the command.
