Vertical Tab Positions

Vertical tab positions are set by line number. A maximum of 16 vertical tab
positions can be set on the form. A sample format is shown in Figure 9.
The first vertical tab is set at line 6 for part number data, a second tab is set at
line 8 for part name data, and a third tab is set at line 14 for quantity data. The
ESC B code assigns the vertical tabs to the lines of the form. Once the tab
positions are set, sending the vertical tab execute code (VT) causes the paper
(currently at the top-of-form position) to advance to the first tab position for
PART NUMBER data. Sending another VT moves the paper to the second
tab position for PART NAME, followed by a third VT to access the third tab
position for QUANTITY data.
