9–29Epson FX Emulation
Horizontal Tab Set/Release
ASCII Code ESC D n1 ... nk
HEX Code 1B 44 n1 ... nk
Purpose Sets up to 32 horizontal tab positions.
Expression CHR$(27);”D”;CHR$(n1);...CHR$(n32);CHR$(0);
where n1 through n32 specify the character column of the tab positions.
CHR$(0) is the sequence terminator.
n = 0 clears all tabs.
Comment The values of n must be listed in ascending order or they are ignored.
Tabs greater than 32 or those positioned beyond the right margin are
ignored. The physical tab position is the product of n and the current
cell width (1/pitch), excluding double wide.
After tabs are set, HT moves the simulated print head to the next tab
stop. Turning the printer off then on resets the tabs to every eighth
character column.
Example The following example illustrates how to set horizontal tabs.
