Comments:

This command allows setting of up to 32 horizontal tabs, which are entered as n1, n2, n3, etc. (from 1-137) with the NUL character or any value less than the previous one terminating the command. ESC D NUL 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 pica characters determines the tab positions.
