Vertical Tabs
Vertical tab stops are associated with lines, not absolute physical positions. Changing line spacing will
change the physical position of the tab stops.
Vertical Tab VT
Causes the current line to be printed, and then advances the paper to the next vertical tab stop. If no
vertical tab stops are set, then a line feed is done instead. If “Auto CR” is set to “On” in the interface
setup menu, a carriage return will also be performed.
Control code: VT
Hexadecimal: 0B
Set Vertical Tab Stop VTS
(or) ESC J
Sets a vertical tab stop at the current line. The tab stop is associated with the active line, not an
absolute physical position. Changing line spacing will change the physical position of the tab stop.
The tab stop set by this escape sequence will be added to previously set tab stops. If this is not desired,
the old tab stops should first be cleared.
