Purpose
Prints the data in the buffer and advances the paper to the next vertical tab
position.
Comment
In P-Series protocol, if a vertical tab format is defined in the EVFU (channel
12), DVFU, NVFU, or CVFU (channel 2) and the VFU is enabled, the paper
is moved to the next vertical tab position.
In Serial Matrix protocol, vertical tab positions are set by control code ESC B
and executed by control code VT. In this mode, if Vertical Tabs are loaded, the
paper moves to the next vertical tab position.
If a vertical tab format is not defined, the paper is advanced to the next line at
the current line spacing. If a vertical tab format is defined but no vertical tab
positions are set between the current print position and the end of the form,
the paper is advanced to the top of the next form. The VT code resets all sinĆ
gle line print attributes. More information on Vertical Tabs is provided in the
Vertical Format Units chapter.
