Vertical Tabs
Vertical tab stops are associated with lines, not absolute physical positions.  Changing
line spacing will change the physical position of the tab stops.
Vertical Tab
VT
Causes the current line to be printed, and then advances the paper to the next vertical
tab stop.  If no vertical tab stops are set, then a line feed is done instead.  If "Auto CR:
On" is selected in the "Setup: INTERFACE" menu, a carriage return will also be
performed.

Set Vertical Tab Stop
VTS
(or)
ESC J
Sets a vertical tab stop at the current line. The tab stop is associated with the active
line, not an absolute physical position.  Changing line spacing will change the
physical position of the tab stop.
The tab stop set by this escape sequence will be added to previously set tab stops.  If
this is not desired, the old tab stops should first be cleared.
