[Outline]

Specifying a horizontal tab position.

 

¥ ÒnÓ indicates the no. of columns from the beginning to the horizontal tab position.

 

At this time, n= set position Ð 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 Òcharacter width nÓ 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 ÒSet digit position = Maximum print digits + 1.Ó

 

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 every eight characters (9th, 17th, 25th, and on) of Font A.
