[Description]
●
Sets the vertical tab position specified by ‘m’ in the channel specified by ‘n’.
●
‘n’ indicates the channel number and ‘m’ indicates the vertical tab position (number of lines).
●
Up to 8 channels are available. Specify with the number from 0 to 7.
●
Specify ‘m’ with the number of lines from the first line of the page (0
th
line) in the current line feed rate.
●
Once the vertical tab position is set, even when the line feed rate is changed, the tab position does not change.
●
If ESC b n NUL code is entered without ‘m’ specified, vertical tabs specified in channel ‘n’ will be all deleted.
●
Immediately after power-ON, no vertical tab is set in any channel.
●
Specify tab positions in ascending order of the line. When a value smaller than previous ‘m’ is specified, the setting is
completed at that point. The setting is completed also when a position is specified beyond the print area.
●
Use ESC / code to specify the channel for executing a tab.
●
It is set to channel 0 in Vertical Tab Position (ESC B code).

[Description]
●
Specifies a VFU channel by ‘n’ to change the vertical tab position in the page to the setting specified in the
channel.
●
‘n’ indicates the channel number.
●
In the initial setting at power-on, channel 0 is specified.
●
This code is used for setting a vertical tab position in that page by channel specification; vertical tabs are not executed (ie.
the print position does not move).
●
Use VT code to execute vertical tabs.
