ESC D [ n ] k NUL
[Function] Setting Horizontal Tab Position
[Code] <1B>H<44>H [ <n> ] k<00>H
[Range] {0 =< n =< FF(Hex)}
{0 =< k =< 20(Hex)}
[Outline] Specifying a horizontal tab position.
• “n” indicates the no. of columns from the beginning to the horizontal tab position.
At this time, n= set position – 1 is to be specified. 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 position where it is “character width × n” from the line
beginning. The character width, at this time, includes the rightward space amount.
In double wide characters, it is made double of the ordinary case.
•Tab positions can be specified are maximum 32. Specifying exceeding this is
ignored. <n> k, which denotes a setting position, is input in the increasing order
and ends at <00> H.
• ESC D NUL clears all the set tab positions. Following clearing, 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, assuming “Set digit position = Maximum print digits + 1.”
The horizontal tab position does not change even if the character width is altered
after setting the horizontal tab position.
[Default] Initial value is specified every eight characters (9th, 17th, 25th, and on) of Font A.
