FF
Advances paper to the top of the next page. (IBM, EPSON)
ASCII Code FF
Hexadecimal Value 0C
Decimal Value

This code is a terminator code, when received, causes all data in the print buffer to be
printed out. Then it advances the paper to the first printable line of the next form. The
line counter is set to the first line value and the column counter is set to the left
margin value. This code cancels the double width printing set by SO code.
HT
Horizontal Tab. (IBM, EPSON)
ASCII Code HT
Hexadecimal Value 09
Decimal Value
9
This code moves logically the print carriage to the next horizontal tab stop as defined
by ESC D.
In IBM mode, up to 28 horizontal tab stops can be set. The HT code is ignored if no tab
stop has been set or if the current print carriage position has moved past the last tab
position or if the tab stop is on or beyond the right margin. At power on, the tab stops
are set every eight columns (default). The horizontal tab stops can be changed by the
ESC D command.
In EPSON mode, up to 32 horizontal tab stops can be set. The default tab stops are
memorized as logical position in the page, so that are affected by changing the
horizontal spacing. The tab stop positions set by ESC D are memorized as physical
position in the page and therefore they are not affected by changing the horizontal
