[Function] Setting Horizontal Tab Position
[Code] <1B>H<44>H [ <n> ] k<00>H
[Range] {0 n FFH}
{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 digit position = Maximum print digits + 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
columns) of ANK
characters.
