ESC D [ n ] k NUL
[Function] Setting Horizontal Tab Position
[Code] <1B>H<44>H [ <n> ] k<00>H
[Range] {0  n  FFH} Data is described in Hex code.
{0  k  20H} Data is described in Hex code.
[Outline] Specifying a horizontal tab position.
• "n" indicates the no. of columns from the beginning to the horizontal tab
position. At this time, n= set position– 1 is to be specified. For example,
to set the position at 9th column, n=8 is to be specified.
• k denotes the number of horizontal tab positions you want to set.
• The tab position is set at position where it is "character width x n" from
the line beginning. The character width, at this time, includes the
rightward space amount. In double wide characters, it is made double
of the ordinary case.
• Tab positions can be specified are maximum 32. Specifying exceeding
this is ignored.
• <n> k, which denotes a setting position, is input in the increasing order
and ends at <00> H.
• ESC D NUL clears all the set tab positions. Following clearing,
horizontal tab command is ignored.
[Caution] When the data, <n> k, is equal to or smaller than its preceding data, <n>
k-1, it is assumed that tab setting is finished. If this is the case, the next
data onward will be processed as normal data.
When the data, <n> k, exceeds a 1-line print area, set the horizontal tab
position, assuming "Set column position = Maximum print column + 1."
The horizontal tab position does not change even if the character width is
altered after setting the horizontal tab position.
[Default] • Initial value is specified for each eight characters(9
th
.17
th
.25
th
column)
of ANK characters.
