ESC D p1 ... pk NUL | 1B 44 p1 ... pk 00 | 27 68 p1 ... pk 00 |
This command sets horizontal tab stops. Up to 32 horizontal tab stops can be defined. Previously set horizontal tab stops are reset.
The horizontal tab stops must be defined in ascending order in multiples of the current character pitch. The absolute horizontal tab stop locations depend on the current 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) | |
| Range: | X’01 ≤ pk ≤ X’FF |

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 horizontal 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.
