[Function]

Setting horizontal tab position

 

[Code]

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

 

[Range]

1 £ n £ 255

 

 

0 £ k £ 32

 

[Outline]

Specifying a horizontal tab position.

 

· "n" indicates the no. of columns from the beginning to the horizontal tab

 

position. At this time, n= set position- 1 is to be specified. For example, to set

 

the position at 9th column, n=8 is to be specified.

 

· k denotes the number of horizontal tab positions you want to set.

 

· The tab position is set at position where it is "character width x n" from the line

 

beginning. The character width, at this time, includes the rightward space

 

amount. In double wide characters, it is made double of the ordinary case.

 

· Tab positions can be specified are maximum 32. Specifying exceeding this is

 

ignored.

 

 

· <n> k, which denotes a setting position, is input in the increasing order and

 

ends at <00> H.

 

 

· ESC D NUL clears all the set tab positions. Following clearing, horizontal

 

tab command is ignored.

 

[Caution]

When the data, <n> k, is equal to or smaller than its preceding data, <n> k-1, it is

 

assumed that tab setting is finished. If this is the case, the next data onward

 

will be processed as normal data.

 

When the data, <n> k, exceeds a 1-line print area, set the horizontal tab position,

 

assuming "Set digit position = Maximum print digits + 1." The horizontal tab

 

position does not change even if the character width is altered after setting the

 

horizontal tab position.

 

[Default]

· Initial value is specified for each eight characters(9th.17th.25th.33rd columns)

 

of Font A.
