This command is ignored unless the next tab position has been set.
If the next horizontal tab position exceeds the printing area, the printer
sets the printing position to [Printing area width + 1].
Horizontal tab positions are set using “ESC D”.
If this command is received when the printing position is at [printing area width +1], the printer
executes print buffer-full printing of the current line and horizontal tab processing from the
beginning of the next line.
The default setting of the horizontal tab position for the paper roll is font A
