Mode ASCII Decimal Hexadecimal
Both 1 <ESC> “D” nl n2 . <O > 27 68 nl n2... 0 1B 44 nl n2... 00
Cancels all current horizontal tab stops and sets new tab stops at columns
nl, n.2, etc. in the current character pitch (pica pitch if proportional spacing
is currently selected), where nl, n2, etc. are numbers between 1 and 255.
The maximum number of horizontal tab stops allowed is 32 in Standard
mode and 28 in IBM mode. The tab stops must be specified in ascending
order; any violation of ascending order terminates the tab stop list.
Standard termination is by the < 0 > control code. To clear all tab stops,
specify <ESC> “D” <O>.
