Epson FX Printer Emulation Mode 8-19
Set Horizontal Tab Stops
Escape sequence: ESC D n1...n32 NUL
Hexadecimal: 1B 44 n1...n32 00
This command clears all previously set horizontal tab stops and sets
a new tab stop at each of the columns specified by the variables
n1...n32. Each of the variables n1 and n2 can be any value in the
range of 1 through 127 for a 7-bit character set and 1 through 232 for
an 8-bit character set. These variables must be listed in ascending
order; that is, the value of each variable must be greater than the one
preceding it. Any n value of 0 or less than that of the one preceding it
terminates the command.
At power-up or upon receiving the Initialize Printer command, the
printer automatically sets a horizontal tab stop at every eighth
column. These are the default positions.
