Horizontal Positioning Commands
The horizontal positioning commands control the horizontal print
positions of characters on the receipt and slip.
Horizontal Tab
ASCII: HT
Hexadecimal: 09
Decimal: 9
Moves the print position to the next tab position set by the Set
Horizontal Tab Positions (1B 44
n 1 n 2 ... 00) command. The print
position is reset to column one after each line.
Tab treats the left margin as column one, therefore changes to the left
margin will move the tab positions.
When there are no tabs defined to the right of the current position, or if
the next tab is past the right margin, line feed is executed (both slip and
receipt.) HT has no effect in page mode. Printer initialization sets 32
tabs at column 9, 17, 25, …

sent for each line not printed at column one. The value of n is set to one
