Description:

■ This command sets the horizontal tab position.

• n defines the number of columns from the beginning of the line to the horizontal tab setting.

• k denotes the number of horizontal tab positions to be set.

• The horizontal tab position is stored as a value of [character width x n] measured form the beginning of the line.

Remarks:

■ The data [n]k signifying the set position is transmitted in the ascending order and ends with a NUL code.

■ ESC D NUL cancels all horizontal tab positions.

■ Tab position is set at the value of [character width x n] from the beginning of the line.

■ The character width includes the space to the right of the character, and it will be twice the normal character when the

double width characters are selected.

■ If the data [n]k is equal to or smaller than the preceding data [n]k-1, the horizontal tab setting has been completed.

■ Up to 32 horizontal tabs can be set, the data exceeding this limit is processed as normal ones.

■ Even if the character width is changed after setting the horizontal tab positions, the horizontal tab positions remain

unchanged.
