Horizontal Motion Commands
The horizontal motion commands control the horizontal motion of
the printhead, including direction and distance of each movement.
The following paragraphs describe the horizontal motion commands.
Backspace
Control character: BS
Hexadecimal: 08
This command causes the printer to print the current print buffer
contents and then move the print position one character to the left.
This command is valid at any point to the right of the left margin, but
not at or to the left of the left margin. The printer ignores the Backspace
command if either full or right margin justification has been selected.
Tab Horizontally
Control character: HT
Hexadecimal: 09
This command moves the print position to the next horizontal tab
stop. These tab stops can be the ones set by the Set Horizontal Tab
Stops command or the ones set by the default horizontal tab stops.
The default tab stops are at 8-character intervals (in the default
character size) between the left and right margins.
Carriage Return
Control character: CR
Hexadecimal: 0D
This command causes the printer to print the contents of the current
print buffer and then return the printhead to the left margin. This
command may be accompanied by a Line Feed command to move
the printhead to the next print line position.
