ESC "D" [n] k NUL

[Function]

Setting the horizontal tab position

[Code]

<1B>H <44>H [n] k <00>H

[Range]

1 n Max. print columns – 1

 

1 k 16

[Outline]

This command sets the horizontal tab positions. n indicates the number of lines from the

 

head of the line to the horizontal tab setting position; n equals the set column position - 1." k

 

indicates the number of horizontal tab positions to be set.

 

The tab position is set at the character width × n from the head of the line. The character

 

width at this time includes the right space of the character and will be doubled if the double

 

width characters are specified.

 

The data <n>k indicating the set position is entered in the ascending order and ends with

 

<00>H. ESC D NUL clears all the set tab positions. After clearing the tab positions, HT will

 

be ignored.

[Caution]

If the data <n>k is equal to or smaller than the preceding data <n>k - 1, it is assumed that

 

horizontal tab setting has been completed. In that case, the subsequent data will be processed

 

as regular one.

 

Up to 16 tab positions can be set. If the data exceeds this limit, it will be processed as regular

 

data. If the data <n>k exceeds the one-line print range, the set column position will equal the

 

maximum print columns + 1.

 

If the character width is changed after setting the horizontal tab positions, they will not

 

change.
