[Function] Setting horizontal tab position
[Code] <1B>H<44>H[<n>]k<00>H
[Range] 1≦n≦255
0≦k≦32
[Outline] [The specification which is common to the model]
Specifying a horizontal tab position.
• “n” indicates the number of columns from the beginning to the horizontal tab position. Note,
however, that “n = set position – 1”. 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 a position where it is “character width ×n” from the beginning of a line.
The character width, at this time, includes the space on the right. In double width characters, it is
made double the ordinary case.
• Tab positions that can be specified are maximum 32. Specifying tab positions exceeding this limit
is ignored.
• <n> k, which denotes a setting position, is input in the increasing order and ends at <00> H.
• ESC D <NULL> clears all the set tab positions. Following clearing, the 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, as “Set column
position = Maximum print columns + 1”.
• The horizontal tab position does not change even if the character width is altered after setting the
horizontal tab position.
[Default] At the selection of font A, tabs are set every 8 characters (at 9th, 17th, 25th, ...) with right space
amount of a character set at 0 and horizontal enlargement rate of a character set at 1.
