Horizontal tabulation
Control character | Hexadecimal | Decimal |

HT | 09 | 09 |

|
This control character may be located anywhere within a line and causes tabulation to the next horizontal tab stop. Repeated specification of this control character causes horizontal tab stops to be skipped. If you transfer HT HT HT HT, for example, the printer positions the print head to the fourth horizontal tab stop.
Conditions for horizontal tabulation:
●At least one horizontal tab stop must be set.
●The printer ignores the control character if no horizontal tab stops are set or if tabulation exceeds the end of the line.
●If the print head is on a set horizontal tab stop, the next horizontal tab stop is accessed.
