Configuring The LQ-1600K Emulation With Control Codes
Vertical Tab, Execute
ASCII Code VT
Hex Code 0B
Dec Code 11
Purpose Advances the simulated print head to the next vertical tab
position selected by ESC
/.
Comment If no vertical channel was selected, channel 0 is used. If no
vertical tabs were set, the paper advances one line.
The simulated print head moves to the left margin. If a tab
position is on the current line, the paper is moved to the next
tab position. If there are no tab positions between the current
line and the end of the form, the paper is moved to the top of
the next form. If the printing crosses the page boundary, the VT
command causes the paper to move to the top of the next form.
This code cancels all single line print attributes.
Vertical Tab, Set/Clear
ASCII Code ESC B n1 n2 n3...nk NUL
Hex Code 1B 42 n1 n2 n3...nk 00
Dec Code 27 66 n1 n2 n3...nk 0
Purpose Sets up to 16 vertical tab positions.
Where:
n
= 1 through 255
k
= 1 through 16
n1
through
nk
specify the line number for the vertical tab(s), up
to a maximum of 16 tab positions. NUL must end the sequence.
To clear the tab settings, send ESC B NUL (1B 42 00).
Expression CHR$(27);“B”;CHR$( n1 );...CHR$( nk );CHR$(0);
Comment The values of n range from 1 through 255 and must be in
ascending order. The distance of each tab stop from TOF is the
current line spacing times the number of lines given in
n . If the
value of n exceeds the form length, commands to move to that
tab position are ignored.
If values of n are not in ascending order, the sequence up to
and including the out-of-sequence number is ignored, and the
rest of the load is processed. Skip over perforation is ignored.
This command always sets channel 0. You can clear channel 0
by sending ESC B NUL. (See also the channel selection
command, ESC /, and the channel loading command, ESC b.)
