B.2.6 Tabulation
• ESC B ... : Vertical tabulation program
• ESC D ... : Horizontal tabulation program
• ESC d ... : Relative Forward Horizontal Movement
• ESC R : Cancel tabulation stops
ESC B n1..n254 k1..k64 NUL
Vertical Tabulation Program Hexadecimal code: 1B 42 n1..n254 k1..k64 00
n = 1 - 254
k = 1 - 64
The values of parameters n indicate the lines on which the tabulation stops will be
positioned (the top of form is 1). The line feed applied is the current one.
Parameter k defines a vertical tabulation program with a maximum of 64 stops.
At power-on, there are no vertical tabulation stops. The sequence ESC B NUL, and the
command ESC R, clear all vertical tabulation stops.
When a vertical tabulation program is executed, all the current vertical tabulation stops are
cleared. If there is no vertical tabulation program, the command VT executes a single line
feed.
ESC D n1 .. n255 k1.. k28 NUL
Horizontal Tabulation Program Hexadecimal code: 1B 44 n1..n255 k1..k28 00
n = 1 - 255
k = 1 - 28
The values of the parameters n indicate the columns in which the tabulation stops will be
positioned (the left edge is column 1). The print pitch applied is the current one. At power-
on, the default setting is one tab stop every 8 characters, starting from column 9.
Parameter k defines a horizontal tabulation program with a maximum of 28 stops.
The sequence ESC D NUL clears all horizontal tabulation stops.
The command ESC R clears all the tabulation stops and restores the default condition.
