23. ESC D [ n ] k NUL 

Setting Horizontal Tab Position 
[Code] 

[1Bh] + [44h] + n

+ … + n

k

 + [00h]

 

[Range] 

{0 <= n <= FFh} 

 

{0 <= k <= 20h}. 

[Outline]  Specifying a horizontal tab position. 

• "n" indicates the no. of columns from the beginning to the horizontal tab position. At this time, 
n= set position 1 is to be specified. For example, to set the position at 9th column, n=8 is to be 
specified. 
• k denotes the number of horizontal tab positions you want to set. 
• The tab position is set at position where it is "character width x n" from 
the line beginning. The character width, at this time, includes the rightward space amount. In 
double wide characters, it is made double of the ordinary case. 
• Tab positions can be specified are maximum 32. Specifying exceeding this is ignored. 
• <n> k, which denotes a setting position, is input in the increasing order and ends at <00>H. 
• ESC D NUL clears all the set tab positions. Following clearing, horizontal tab command is 
ignored. 

[Caution]  When the data, <n> k, is equal to or smaller than its preceding data, <n>k-1, it is assumed that tab 

setting is finished. If this is the case, the next data onward will be processed as normal data. When 
the data, <n> k, exceeds a 1-line print area, set the horizontal tab position, assuming "Set digit 
position = Maximum print  1." The horizontal tab position does not change even if the 
character width is altered after setting the horizontal tab position. 

[Default]  • Initial value is specified for each eight characters(9 

th 

.17 

th 

.25 

th 

column).

24. ESC E n 

Specifying/canceling highlighting 
[Code] 

[1Bh] + [45h] + n

 

[Range] 

{0 <= n <= FFh} 

[Outline]  Specifying/canceling the highlighting characters. 

• "n" is valid only for the lowest bit (n0). 
• Control by the lowest bit (n0) is shown as follows: 

0

 Canceling highlighting. 

1

 Specifying highlighting. 

• This is effective to all characters of font A. 
• Characters of font B are not highlighted. 
• Dot configuration of a highlighted character includes one extra dot added at its side. 

[Caution]   • The print result of Double printing and highlight character printing is completely same.

25. ESC G n

 

Specifying/canceling Double Printing (ESC G n) 
[Code] 

[1Bh] + [47h] + n

 

[Range] 

{0 <= n <= FFh} 

[Outline]  Specifying/canceling the double printing. 

• "n" is valid only for the lowest bit (n0). 
• Control by n is shown as follows. 

0

 Canceling double printing. 

1

 Specifying double printing. 

• This is effective to all characters of font A. 
• Characters of font B are not highlighted. 

[Caution]  • The print result of Double printing and highlight character printing is completely same.
