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. 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 |
| maximum print columns + 1." |
| Even if the character width is changed after setting the horizontal tab position, the latter will |
| not change. |
[Default] | Every 8 characters (9th, 17th, 25th column, and so on) |
