Set horizontal tab stops This command sets horizontal tab stops. Up to 32 horizontal tab stops can be def ined.
Previously set horizontal tab stops are reset.
The horizontal tab stops must be defined in ascending order in multiples of the curr ent
character pitch. The absolute horizontal tab stop locations depend on the cur rent character
pitch.
The set horizontal tab stops are not affected by later changes of the character pitch.
The default is every eighth column.
All horizontal tab stops are reset if no parameter is specified (ESC D NUL).
p1 ... pk Horizontal tab stops in multiples of the character pitch (1 ≤ k ≤ 32)
Horizontal tabulation The control character may be located anywhere within a line and causes the next horizontal
tab stop to be accessed. Repeating this control character causes hori zontal tab stops to be
skipped. HT HT HT HT, for example, causes the fourth horizontal tab stop to be accessed.
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 the end
of the line would be exceeded.
●If the print head is on a set horizontal tab stop, the next horizontal tab stop is accessed.
