Value of
n
:
Column for tab minus one.
n
is always less than or equal to the current selected column
width.
Value of
k
:
0 - 32
Default:
Every 8 characters from column. 1 (9, 17, 25, etc.) for normal
print.
Sets up to 32 horizontal tab positions
n
columns from column one, but does not
move the print position. See the Horizontal Tab (09) command.
The tab positions remain unchanged if the character widths are changed after the
tabs are set. This command ends with hexadecimal 00; hexadecimal 1B 44 00
clears all tabs. Tabs assumed to be in strictly ascending order. A tab out of order
terminates the command string as if it were 00, and remaining tab values are
taken as normal data.
Formulas:
Set the tab positions in ascending order and put Hex 00 at the end.
Hex 1B 44 00 (number of tabs not specified) clears all tab positions.
Exceptions:
The tabs cannot be set higher than the column width of the current pitch.

To Move the Relative Starting Position Left of the Current Position by

n
1 = Remainder after dividing (65,536-

The values for
n
1 and
n
2 are two bytes in low byte, high byte word orientation.
Moves the print starting position the specified number of dots either right (up to
the right margin) or left (up to the left margin) of the current position. The print
starting position is reset to the first column after each line.
