[Description] Sets horizontal tab positions.
•
n
specifies the number of digits from the setting position to the left edge of the print area.
•
k
indicates the number of horizontal tab positions to be set.
[Notes]
■ The horizontal tab position is stored as a value of [character width ×
n
] measured from the beginning of
the line. The character width includes the right-side character spacing, and double-width characters are
selected with twice the width of normal characters.
■ The character width should be set before using this command. Settings of character fonts, space width,
and enlargement affect the setting of character width.
■ A maximum of 32 horizontal tab positions can be set. Data exceeding 32 horizontal tab positions is
processed as normal data.
■ This command cancels any previous horizontal tab settings.
■ Transmit [
n
]
k
in ascending order and place a
NUL
code at the end. ESC D
NUL
cancels all horizontal tab
positions.
■ When [
n
] is less than or equal to the preceding value [
n
]
k
-1, horizontal tab setting is finished, and the
following data is processed as normal data.
■
k
is not transmission data to the printer.
■ Even if the character width is changed after setting the horizontal tab positions, the setting of the
horizontal tab positions will not be changed.
