- A horizontal tab position is stored as the absolute value
of (character width X n) measured from the beginning of
the line. The character width includes the character right-
side spacing, and double-width characters should be set
with twice the width of normal characters.
- Up to 32 tab positions can be set. Data which exceeds
32 tab positions will be ignored.
-
Set <n>k in ascending order and place a NUL code <00>H
at the end.
- ESC D NUL clears all tabs. Any HT commands received
after clearing will be ignored.
- When a data value <n>k is less than or equal to the preceding
value <n>k -
1, the setting is considered to be finished.
In this case, the following data is processed as normal data.
- When a data value <n>k exceeds the number of
character printable on one line, set [(column number) =
(the number of maximum printable columns) + 1].
- Horizontal tab positions remain unchanged if the character
widths are changed after setting the horizontal tab positions.
- The default tab positions are at intervals of 8 characters
(9th column, 17th, 25th,---) for Font A.
ESC J n
Print and feed paper using minimum units
< 1B >H< 4A >H< n >
Prints the data in the print buffer and feeds the paper n/360
inches.
- The predetermined line spacing remains unchanged.
- Sets the print starting position to the beginning of the line.
