[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.
•T he ta b posit ion is set at posi ti on wher e i t is "c har ac t er wi dt h x n" from the l i ne be gi nni ng.

•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.
