[Description]

The position of the vertical tab is the line feed amount * n (at the time that the vertical
tab is set) from the top margin.

Enter n values in ascending order and end the setting with NUL.

If an n value is smaller than the previous one, the tab setting is finished.

Up to 16 vertical tabs can be set.

To cancel all vertical tab positions, use ESC B NUL.

Vertical tab positions can be set regardless of the setting of the bottom margin position.

However, any vertical tab position outside the print area (beyond the bottom margin

position) is invalid and only becomes valid when a change in the top or bottom margin

position moves the print area to that vertical tab.

Move to a vertical tab position with VT.

When changing vertical tab positions, they must all be reset.

If the top margin is moved, the vertical tab positions are also moved by the same

amount.

Even if the line feed amount is changed after the vertical tab positions are set, those
vertical tab setting positions do not change.

Performing a VT when no vertical tabs is set is equal to performing a CR.
