[Function]

This command performs paper feeds up to the next vertical tab position after the printer prints the data in the

line buffer.

This command is ignored if there are no tabs set.

If a vertical tab is set, and the current position is the same as the vertical tab position, or if it is below that

position, it feeds paper to the top of the next page.

[Function]

Sets the vertical tab to (current form feed amount x n) position.

All other vertical tabs set before setting the vertical tab using this command are cancelled

A maximum of 16 vertical tabs can be set.However, the tab position must satisfy the condition of 1 ≤ n1 ≤ n2

... ≤ nk.When receiving the illegal codes that do not satisfy the condition, tabs up to the illegal code are set,

but those after the illegal code are discarded up to the NUL code so illegal code tab are not set.

The vertical tab set using this command is unaffected by changing the form feed amount later.

All vertical tabs are cleared by inputting ESC B NUL.

Double high and double high & wide character specifications are unaffected when using this setting.
