Simple TTY Emulation

Horizontal Tabs
Default horizontal tab stops are set at every eighth column, i.e. column 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, etc. (The first
column is column zero.) The default tab stops are associated with columns, not absolute physical
positions. Changing character spacing will change the physical position of the default tab stops.
Horizontal Tab
HT
Advances to the next horizontal tab stop. If no tab stop exists between the active column and the right
margin, the HT will be ignored. Default tab stops are set at every eighth column, i.e. column 8, 16, 24,
32, 40, etc.

Vertical Tabs
Vertical Tab
VT
Causes the current line to be printed, and then advances the paper to the next vertical tab stop. If no
vertical tab stops are set, then a line feed is done instead. If “Auto CR” is set to “On” in the interface
setup menu, a carriage return will also be performed.
It is not possible to set vertical tab stops in TTY emulation. If tab stops were previously set in some
other emulation, they will be used.
