[Description] Sets horizontal tab positions.
• n specifies the column number for setting a horizontal tab position
from the beginning of the line.
• k indicates the total number of horizontal tab positions to be set.
[Notes] • The horizontal tab position is stored as a value of [character width
✕
n] measured from the beginning of the line. The character width
includes the right-side character spacing, and double-width
characters are set with twice the width of normal characters.
• This command cancels the previous horizontal tab settings.
• When setting n = 8, the print position is moved to column 9 by
sending HT.
• Up to 32 tab positions ( k = 32) can be set. Data exceeding 32 tab
positions is processed as normal data.
• Transmit [ n]k in ascending order and place a NUL code 0 at the
end.
• When [n]k is less than or equal to the preceding value [n]k-1, tab
setting is finished and the following data is processed as normal
data.
• ESC D NUL cancels all horizontal tab positions.
• When [
n]k exceeds the number of characters printable on one line,
the tab position set is equal to the maximum printable column
plus 1.
• The previously specified horizontal tab positions do not change,
even if the character width changes.
[Default] The default tab positions are at intervals of 8 characters (columns 9,
17, 25,...) for the font A (12
×
24).
