[Description]
Sets horizontal tab positions
• n specifies the column number for setting a horizontal tab
position calculated 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 x n] measured from the beginning of the line. The char-
acter width includes the right-side character spacing and
double-width characters are set with twice the width of normal
characters.
• This command cancels previous 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.
• Send [ n ] k in ascending order and place a 0 NUL code at
the end. When [ n ] k is less than or equal to the preceding
value [ n ] k-1, the setting is complete and the data which
follows is processed as normal data.
• ESC D NUL cancels all horizontal tab positions.
• The previously specified horizontal tab position does not
change, even if the character width is modified.
[Default]
Default tab positions are set at intervals of 8 characters (col-
