6.6 Horizontal Positioning Commands
The horizontal positioning commands control the horizontal print positions of characters on the receipt.
H
ORIZONTAL TAB
Moves the print position to the next tab position set by the Set Horizontal Tab Positions (1B 44 n1 n2 ...
00) command. The print position is reset to column one after each line.
Tab treats the left margin as column one; therefore changes to the left margin will move the tab positions.
When no tabs are defined to the right of the current position, or if the next tab is past the right margin, Line
Feed is executed. HT has no effect in Page Mode.
Print initialization sets 32 tabs at column 9, 17, 25,

S
ET RIGHT-SIDE CHARACTER SPACING
Sets the right side character spacing to [n x horizontal or vertical motion units]. Values for this command
are set independently in standard and page mode.
The units of horizontal and vertical motion are specified by the Set Horizontal and Vertical Minimum
Motion Units (GS P) command. Changes in the horizontal or vertical units do not affect the current right-
side character spacing. When the horizontal or vertical motion unit is changed by the Set Horizontal and
Vertical Minimum Motion Units (GS P) command the value must be in even units and not less than the
minimum amount of horizontal movement.
In standard mode the horizontal motion unit is used.
In page mode the horizontal or vertical motion unit differs and depends on the starting position of the
printable area. When the starting printing position is the upper left or lower right of the printable area (set
by Select Print Direction in Page Mode, ESC T) the horizontal motion unit (x) is used. When the starting
printing position is the upper right or lower left of the printable area (set by Select Print Direction in Page
Mode, ESC T) the vertical motion unit (y) is used.
