Tab Horizontally; Tab Vertically - Printronix P7000 H-Series Programmer's Reference Manual

Tab Horizontally

ASCII Code HT
Hex Code 09
Dec Code 09
Purpose Moves the horizontal print position to the next tab to the right of
the current print position.
Comment The printer ignores this command if no tab is set to the right of
the current position or if the next tab is to the right of the right
margin.
Character scoring (underline, overscore, and strike through) is
not printed between the current print position and the next tab
when this command is sent.
In DBCS mode, the command takes effect in double byte
character setting.

Tab Vertically

ASCII Code VT
Hex Code 0B
Dec Code 11
Purpose Moves the vertical print position to the next vertical below the
current print position.
Moves the horizontal print position to the left-margin position.
Comment The printer advances to the top-margin position of the following
page if the next tab is below the bottom-margin position or if no
tab is set below the current position.
The VT command functions the same as a CR command
(moves the horizontal print position to the left-margin position) if
all tabs have been cancelled with the ESC B NUL command.
The VT command functions the same as an LF command
(advances one line in the current line spacing and moves the
horizontal print position to the left-margin position) if no tabs
have been set since the printer was turned on or was reset with
the ESC@ command.
The VT command functions the same as an FF command
(advances to the top-margin position on the next page) if some
tabs have been set, but no tab is set between the current print
position and the bottom-margin position.
This command cancels double-width printing set with the SO,
ESC SO, or FS SO commands.
