This command allows setting of up to 32 horizontal tabs, which
are entered as
nl,
n2,
n3,
etc. (from l-255) with the 0 character
terminating the command. The tab settings must be entered in
ascending order. ESC D 0 clears all tabs. The settings on power
up or after an ESC @ command are every eight characters. The
tab settings do not change if the character pitch is changed, and
for proportional printing the size of 10 pitch characters
determines the tab positions.
