VT
Horizontal Tab
The HT command causes
the
printer to tab to the next horizontal
tab stop.
Tab stops are referenced in print columns from
column
one.
Column width varies with font
pitch.
The
tab control is
ignored
if
no
tab
stops are set. Tabs may
be
set with the ESC D (Set Hori-
zontal
Tab
Stops)
command. When the printer is turned on or
when an
ESC
R
(Reset
All Tabs) command is
processed,
tabs are
set to every eight columns, beginning with column 9.

Line Feed
The LF command advances the paper up one line space based on
the currently active line-spacing increment.
The printer's basic
index unit is
1/240 inch.
If the
line-spacing
increment
is
specified
in units other than 1/240, the printer
contin-
ually
adjusts the vertical position to the nearest 11240th
inch.
The
line-spacing increment
may
be changed
by
one or a combination
of the following commands: ESC A, ESC 0, ESC 1, ESC 2, ESC
3
and/or ESC [
\.
A line feed operation, which
would
cause the next
line to fully print
in
the skip perforation or
bottom
margin zone will
cause the
printer to advance the paper to the top margin
of
the
next page. The
horizontal
printing position is
not
affected by
this
command
unless
setup switch 2 in Switch Group 1 is set to
the
ON
position.
If
the
switch
is
ON,
the
horizontal
printing position
is
returned
to
the left margin.
For
cut sheet paper, the
page
is
ejected when the top edge of the next line exceeds the page
length.
The next page feeds when the
printer
is ready to
print
the
next line.
