Set horizontal tab positions
ASCII ESC D n1…nk NUL
Hexadecimal 1B 44 n1…nk 00
Decimal 27 68 n1…nk 0
Value of n : 1 - number of columns in selected pitch (typically 44 for standard,
56 for compressed, but this is affected by paper width, fonts and
margins)
Range of n : 0 - 32 (decimal)
Default: n = 8, 16, 24, 32, ... (Every eight characters for the default font set)
Sets a horizontal tab to n columns from the beginning of the line, where k indicates the number of
horizontal tab positions to be set.
The horizontal tab position is stored as a value of [character width x
n ], measured from the
beginning of the line. The character width should be set before using this command. The setting of
the horizontal tab positions will not be changed if the character width is changed after sending this
command.
A maximum of 32 horizontal tab positions can be set. Data exceeding 32 horizontal tab positions
are processed as normal data.
This command cancels any previous horizontal tab settings.
n1-nk should be listed in ascending order, followed by a 00. 1b 44 00 changes all horizontal tab
positions back to their default positions.
Horizontal tab position settings are effective until the printer is reset, the power is turned off, or a
1b 40 command is sent.
Print position advances to the next tab position on receipt by a 09h.
The horizontal tab position is affected by changes to the left margin.
Set relative print position
ASCII
ESC \ n1 n2
Hexadecimal
1B 5C n1 n2
Decimal 27 92 n1 n2
Value of n :
To move the relative starting position right of the current position:
n = Number of dots to be moved right of the current position
n1 = Remainder after dividing n by 256
n2 = Integer after dividing n by 256
The values for n1 and n2 are two bytes in low byte, high byte word orientation. To move the
relative starting position left of the current position:
n = Number of dots to be moved left of the current position
n1 = Remainder after dividing (65,536- n ) by 256
n2 = Integer after dividing (65,536- n ) by 256
The values for n1 and n2 are two bytes in low byte, high byte word orientation.
