and it can set 21 horizontal tab positions at most.
The absolute horizontal position of the first horizontal tab is: n1 times of half-dot distance;
The absolute horizontal position of the second horizontal tab is: (n1+n2) times of half-dot distance;
The absolute horizontal position of the third horizontal tab is: (n1+n2+n3) times of half-dot distance;
……
The absolute horizontal position of the Kth horizontal tab is: (n1+n2+n3+……+nK) times of half-dot
distance;
Default value: n1=n2=……=nK=10
。
All the horizontal tab positions (ni) should be within the line width allowed by the printer. ni=1~80, it is
equal to 40 7×7 or 7×9 dot matrix characters width, or equal to 20 16×15 Chinese characters width.
After executing “ESC
D” command, changing the kind and size of characters will not affect tab
positions already set. This can guarantee that tab is put in order when Chinese characters are confused
with common characters in one line, or when characters are magnified or shrinked.
NUL put in the end means that this command is over.
