[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.
[Details]
•
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.
•
The previously specified horizontal tab positions do not change, even if the character width
changes.
•
The character width is memorized for each standard and page mode.
[Default]
The default tab positions are at intervals of 8 characters (columns 9, 17, 25,...) for font A (12
×
24).
