48, centering is selected when n=1 or 49, and right justification is selected when n=2 or 50. The default
setting is left justification (n=0). In standard mode, this command is enabled only when processed at
the beginning of a line. In page mode, an internal flag is activated and this command is enabled when
the printer returns to standard mode.

horizontal tab position has been set.
ESC D n1 ... nk NUL sets a horizontal tab position to n columns from the beginning of a line, with k
indicating the total number of horizontal tab positions to be set. When a left margin is set in standard

every eight characters for the font A (12 × 24).
