ESC "D" [n]k NUL
[Function] | Setting the Horizontal tab position |
[Code] | <1B>H <44>H [n]k <00>H |
[Range] | 1 £ n £ 255 |
| 0 £ k £ 32 |
[Outline] | This command sets the horizontal tab position. n denotes the number of |
| columns from the head of the line to the horizontal tab setting position and |
| equals the set column position - 1. k denotes 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 space to the right |
| of the character; it will be double the normal character width if the double width |
| characters are selected. |
| The data <n>k denoting the set position is entered in the ascending order and |
| ends with <00>H. ESC D NUL clears all the set tab positions. HT is ignored |
| after clearing. |
[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. If this is the case, the |
| subsequent data will be processed as normal data. |
| Up to 16 horizontal tabs can be set. The data beyond this limit are processed as |
| normal ones. If the data <n>k exceeds the |
| column position = maximum print columns + 1." |
| Even if the character width is changed after setting the horizontal tab position, |
| the latter will not change. |
[Default] | 7´9 font, every 8 characters (9th, 17th, 25th column, and so on) |
