Horizontal Tab | Printronix P3000 Series guide

Horizontal Tab

	ASCII	Hex	Decimal
P–Series	N/A	N/A	N/A
Serial	HT	09	09
Purpose	Moves the logical printhead right to the next horizontal tab stop.

Comment Power–on default horizontal tabs are set at every eighth character in the Serial Ma- trix printer protocol. If there are no horizontal tabs set or the logical printhead is lo- cated at the last character column, the code is ignored and no movement occurs.

Horizontal tabs are stored as a relative position; therefore, character pitch changes change horizontal tab positions. Refer to the Horizontal Tab Set control code to set new tab positions.
