VT
Prints the data in the buffer and advances the paper to the next vertical tab position.
In the P–Series emulation mode, if a vertical tab format is defined in the EVFU
(channel 12), or DVFU (channel 2) and the VFU is enabled, the paper is moved to
the next vertical tab position.
In the Serial Matrix printer protocol, vertical tab positions are set by control code
ESC B and executed by control code VT. In this mode, if Vertical Tabs are loaded,
the paper moves to the next vertical tab position.
If a vertical tab format is not defined, the paper is advanced to the next line at the
current line spacing. If a vertical tab format is defined but no vertical tab positions
are set between the current print position and the end of the form, the paper is ad-
vanced to the top of the next form. The VT code resets all single line print attributes.
More information on Vertical Tabs is provided in the Vertical Format Units chapter.
