Set Horizontal Tab Stops, ESC \ n1 n2 | Printek 8000 manual

Epson FX Emulation

Relative Horizontal Tab

ESC \ n1 n2

Move the carriage position to the left or right of the current carriage position. The displacement is

specified in 120ths of an inch, and calculated as n1+ (n2 ↔256) inches. The new position is relative 120

to the current carriage position, and must fall within the left and right margins or it will be ignored. A negative displacement (2’s complement) causes a move to the left.

Example: The following escape sequence will move the carriage one inch to the right.

Escape Sequence:	ESC	\	120	0
Hexadecimal:	1B	5C	78	00

Example: The following escape sequence will move the carriage one inch to the left.

Escape Sequence:	ESC	\	136	255
Hexadecimal:	1B	5C	88	FF
Set Horizontal Tab Stops				ESC D n1 n2 ... nx NUL

Clears all currently set horizontal tab stops, and sets new tab stops at column n1, n2, n3, etc. 1≥n≥255. The tab stops must be presented in ascending order. The NUL character, or any tab stop value less than the preceding one, terminates the sequence. The tab stops are set relative to the current character spacing, but subsequent changes in character spacing will not affect the physical position of the tab stops (except that the position will be rounded up to the closest character boundary). The leftmost column is column zero.

Default tab stops are set at every eighth column, i.e. column 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, etc. The tab stops set by ESC D will replace the default tab stops. ESC D NUL will clear all tab stops, leaving no tab stops set. The default tab stops are restored by ESC @.

Example: The following escape sequence will set horizontal tab stops at half inch intervals, if character spacing is currently 10 cpi.

Escape Sequence:	ESC	D	5	10	15	20	25	30	NUL
Hexadecimal:	1B	44	05	0A	0f	14	19	1E	00

Vertical Tabs

Vertical tab stops are associated with absolute physical positions, not with lines. The tab stops are set relative to the current line spacing, but subsequent changes in line spacing will not affect the physical position of the tab stops.
