[Code]

+ [00h]
[Range]
{0 <= n <= FFh}
{0 <= k <= 20h}.
[Outline]
Specifying a horizontal tab position.
•
“
n
” indicates the no. of columns from the beginning to the
horizontal tab position. At this time, n= set position 1 is to be
specified. For example, to set the position at 9th column, n=8 is to
e specified.
•
k
denotes the number of horizontal tab positions you want to set.
•
The tab position is set at position where it is “character width x n”
from the line beginning. The character width, at this time, includes
the rightward space amount. In double wide characters, it is made
double of the ordinary case.
•
Tab positions can be specified are maximum 32.
Specifying exceeding this is ignored.
•
<n> k, which denotes a setting position, is input in the increasing
order and ends at <00>H.
•
ESC D NUL clears all the set tab positions. Following clearing,
horizontal tab command is ignored.
[Caution]
When the data, <n> k, is equal to or smaller than its preceding data,
<n>k-1, it is assumed that tab setting is finished. If this is the case, the
next data onward will be processed as normal data. When the data,
<n> k, exceeds a 1-line print area, set the horizontal tab position,
assuming “Set digit position = Maximum print 1.” The horizontal
tab position does not change even if the character width is altered
after setting the horizontal tab position.
[Default]
•
Initial value is specified for each eight characters
(9 th .17 th .25 th column).
