5.4. Using tabs
Set horizontal tab stops
EscDn1n2n3...NUL
(27)(68)n1n2n3...(00)
<1Bh><44h>n1n2n3...<00h>
This command enables you to set up to 32 horizontal tab stops based on the current character
width.
The character width setting is determined by the combination of the current pitch (10 or 12
characters per inch) and the current character mode (condensed, normal or double-width). If
proportional spacing is being used the character width is based on a pitch of 10 characters per
inch.
The tab stops must be set in ascending order. If you invoke the command with the tabs in any
other order all horizontal tab settings are cleared.
The value of n
i
must be in the range 0 to 255.
Once you have selected the tab settings they remain fixed - their position does not change if
you change the character pitch or character width settings.
To set up a group of equally spaced tab stops use the Esc e 0 command.
Esc D 0 clears all horizontal tab settings.
The default tab stop settings are at every eighth column, starting at the ninth column. The
default column width is 1/10".
The default settings are adopted when the printer is first switched on or when you perform a
reset with the Esc @ instruction.
You can move the print position to the tab stops using the HT control code.
LPRINT CHR$(27); CHR$(68); CHR$(10); CHR$(20); CHR$(0);
'Set tab stops at columns 10 and 20.
Horizontal tab
HT
(09)
<09h>
The HT control code (ASCII code 9) moves the current print position one tab stop to the
right.
The command is ignored if there are no tab stops to the right of the current print position or if
the next tab stop is beyond the right margin.
LPRINT CHR$(9); 'Tab
