These commands use the current print position as a reference point, rather than the top
of the page or the left margin. If n=0, the movement from the current print position is
horizontal, and m represents character spaces from the print position. If n= 1,
indicating vertical movement, m represents the number of lines from the current print
position. Once you have set relative tab stops, use the regular HT and VT commands
to move to the stop position. The ESC f command provides one-time positioning.

Use this command to cancel any tab stops you have set and return to the printer’s
defaults. This means that horizontal tab stops will occur every eight columns, and that
there will be no vertical stops—a VT command will just produce a single line feed.
