Chapter 3 Configuring The KSSM Emulation With Control Codes
Set Vertical Tabs In VFU Channels
ASCII Code ESC b m n

Hex Code 1B 62 m n

Purpose Sets vertical tab positions at the lines specified by n
1
to n
k
(in
the current line spacing) in tab set m, as measured from the
top-of-form position.
The value for m specifies the number of the tab sets being
changed; these sets of tabs are called vertical formatting unit
(VFU) channels.
The values for n must be in ascending order; a value of n less
than the previous n ends tab setting (just like the NUL code).
Where:
0 <=
m <= 7
1 <= n <= 255
n
k
> n
k-1
1 <= k <= 16
Comment Up to eight sets of tabs can be set.
Send the ESC / command to select a VFU channel other than
channel 0; the VT (tab vertically) command then uses the
settings for the selected channel.
Changing the line spacing does not affect previous settings for
vertical tabs.
Sending the ESC b command clears any previous tab settings
in that tab set.
Send an ESC b m NUL command to cancel all tab settings in
the tab set m.
A maximum of 16 vertical tabs can be set in each VFU channel.
The printer stores all tab settings, even if outside the printing
area; if you increase the page length to include previously set
tabs, you can move to those positions with the VT (tab
vertically) command.
