Chapter 3 Configuring the Proprinter III XL Emulation with Control Codes

Tab, Vertical

ASCII Code VT

Hex Code 0B

Dec Code 11

Purpose Prints the data in the buffer and advances the paper to the next

vertical tab position.

Discussion In the Proprinter III XL emulation, 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 position moves to the

next vertical tab position.

If a vertical tab format is not defined, the paper position 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 position is advanced 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 Chapter 6.

If configured for LF = CR + LF (LF equals new line), the

character position indicator is positioned at character column 1

of the new line. Otherwise, the character position indicator does

not move.
