Tally Genicom Matrix Printer manual Horizontal Movement, Horizontal TAB, Carriage Return

Horizontal Movement

Commands Description

HT	HORIZONTAL TAB
	Causes the current print position to move to the next tab stop. If no tabs are set, then
	the current position moves one space. If tab(s) are set but no tab(s) are set between
	the active print position and the right margin, then following characters on the line are
	either discarded or printed on the next line, depending on the status of auto wrap.

	Dec 13	Hex 0D
ESC [(p)a	HORIZONTAL POSITION RELATIVE
	Advances the current print position by the distance specified. Parameter p is
	specified in decipoints.

ESC [(p)j	HORIZONTAL POSITION BACKWARDS

Moves the horizontal position (p) decipoints left of the current position.

Actual distance between symbols separated by this command is the argument (p) minus the current horizontal pitch (text or graphics). For example, if you print an uppercase E at 10 cpi, move backwards by (p), and print another uppercase E, then the distance between leading edges of the two characters is (p) - 72 decipoints. If you print graphics at 72 dpi, move backwards by p, and print another graphics column, then the distance between the two graphics columns is (p) – 10 decipoints.

This command enables printing left of the left margin. Any data located left of the left print reference is discarded.

Example: ESC [1080j moves the horizontal position back by 1.5 inches.
