Set the tabulation stops in ascending order (n1.....n64).
The last digit in the sequence must be 0 to terminate the command.
Vertical tab positions are specified by a line number, and the first line is
numbered one.
ESC B 0 or ESC R (Set Default Tabulation Stops) clears all vertical tab stops.
The last digit in the sequence must be a 0 to terminate the command.
The printer command VT, Vertical Tabulation activates the tabulation stops
set by this escape sequence.
– If no tab position is set, the printer performs a single line feed.
– If the next vertical tab position is greater than the form length (or form length
minus skip perforation), the VT does a line feed.
– An automatic carriage return may be optionally disabled.

n selects the left margin position.
m selects the right margin position.
Margins are specified in the character positions at the current pitch and are
stored in absolute displacement from the left edge of the paper.
The values for n and m must be between 0 and 255. If the value is set at 0,
the margin is left unchanged.
