8=TABULATOR (Paragraph tabulation)

A "tabulator" performs formatting and horizontal movement of an interval of lines in the spool date. Almost the same result can be obtained by using command type 9. Remap

Window.

The line and position numbers to be entered are those appearing in the input, regardless of a general margin or extra blank lines defined for the overlay.

Input Line:			The line interval to read including both lines entered here.
Input Position:			The Column interval to read including both positions entered
			here
From left:			Inches, pels absolute to the rotation specified by the global
			settings for the overlay. If moved beyond the paper edge (e.g.

14") the data will be removed from the data stream. Note that the Left edge is measured from the physical paper edge unless the line interval of the Tabulator is included in an Extended Page Definition interval. In this case the Left Edge of the Tabulator is measured from the Left Margin defined in the Extended Page Definition.

Adjustment:Formatting of the text field. The Valid values are:

UUn-formatted. The area is printed without any changes to formatting, and spaces.

LLeft-adjustment. Spaces proceeding the first character in text lines in the tabulator area are removed, causing the area to be left adjusted at the position indicated by From Left.

CCentred. Spaces within the tabulator area before and after text lines are being removed, and the area is centred around the position indicated by From Left.

RRight-adjustment. Spaces following the character in text lines in the tabulator area are removed, causing the area to be right adjusted at the position indicated by From Left.

NNumeric. Indicates if the text lines in the tabulator area should be considered as numbers (amounts).

BPrint succeeding spaces in barcode data. Indicates if the spaces in the coloumn interval succeeding the barcode data should be converted to barcode. This only apply to the barcodes 128 and 3of9. The barcodes will always be left-adjusted. (Normally succeeding spaces will be ignored.)
