8–53IBM Proprinter Emulation
Vertical Tab
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 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 advanced to the next line at the current line
spacing. If the printing crosses the page boundary, the VT terminator
causes the paper to advance to the next top–of–form. The VT code
cancels double wide (expanded) characters if set by the SO command.
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.
A vertical tab can occur at any place in the datastream and is acted upon
immediately.
