Notes
This is a nonrecommended command.
This command is deleted in ESC/P 2.
Up to eight sets of tabs can be set.
The value for m specifies the number of the tab set being changed; these sets of tabs are
called vertical formatting unit (VFU) channels.
The values for n must be in ascending order; a value of n less than the previous n ends
tab setting (just like the NUL code).
Send the ESC / command to select a VFU channel other than channel 0; the VT (tab
vertically) command then uses the settings for the selected channel.
Changing the line spacing does not affect previous tab settings.
Sending the ESC b command clears any previous tab settings in that tab set.
Send an ESC b m NUL command to cancel all tab settings in tab set m.
A maximum of 16 vertical tabs can be set in each VFU channel.
The printer stores all tab settings, even if outside the printing area; if you increase the
page length to include previously set tabs, you can move to those positions with the VT
(tab vertically) command.
