Comments:

This command allows setting of up to 32 horizontal tabs, which are entered as nl, n2, n3, etc. (from l-255) with the 0 character terminating the command. The tab settings must be entered in ascending order. ESC D 0 clears all tabs. The settings on power up or after an ESC @ command are every eight characters. The tab settings do not change if the character pitch is changed, and for proportional printing the size of 10 pitch characters determines the tab positions.
