Description: Moves the printing position to the next horizontal tab.
Notes:
• This command is ignored unless the next horizontal tab position has
been set.
• Horizontal tab positions are set by ESC D.
• If the next horizontal tab position exceeds the printing area, the printer
sets the printing position to [Printing area width + 1].
• If this command is processed when the printing position is at [Printing
area width + 1], the printer executes print buffer-full printing of the
current line and horizontal tab processing from the beginning of the next
line. In this case, in page mode, the printer does not execute printing,
but the printing position is moved.
• When underline mode is turned on, the underline will not be printed
under the tab space skipped by this command.

• After printing, the printing position moves to the beginning of the line.
When a left margin is set in standard mode, the position of the left
margin is the beginning of the line.
• When this command is processed in page mode, only the printing
position moves, and the printer does not perform actual printing.
• When the origin of layout is selected to bottom of label or top of black
mark in standard mode and a paper feed amount that exceeds the
remaining printable area of the label is sent, the printer executes one of
the following:
- If the printer will print a line that is higher than the remaining printable
area of the label, the printer feeds the label to the next print starting
position and the printer executes this command.
