Set Vertical Tabs
Sets as many as 64 tabulation stops by line number.
USAGE NOTES
• Set the tabulation stops in ascending order (n1.....n64).
• The last digit in the sequence must be 0 to terminate the command.
• Vertical tab positions are specified by a line number, and the first line is
numbered one.
• ESC B 0 or ESC R (Set Default Tabulation Stops) clears all vertical tab stops.
• The last digit in the sequence must be a 0 to terminate the command.
• The printer command VT, Vertical Tabulation activates the tabulation stops
set by this escape sequence.
– If no tab position is set, the printer performs a single line feed.
– If the next vertical tab position is greater than the form length (or form length
minus skip perforation), the VT does a line feed.
– An automatic carriage return may be optionally disabled.
Set Horizontal Margins
This command sets the left and right margins.
USAGE NOTES
• n selects the left margin position.
• m selects the right margin position.
• Margins are specified in the character positions at the current pitch and are
stored in absolute displacement from the left edge of the paper.
• The values for n and m must be between 0 and 255. If the value is set at 0,
the margin is left unchanged.
