[Description]

Sets horizontal tab positions

• n specifies the column number for setting a horizontal tab position

calculated from the beginning of the

line.

• k indicates the total number of horizontal tab positions to be set.

[Notes]

• The horizontal tab position is stored as a value of [character width x n]

measured from the beginning of the

line. The character width includes the right-side character spacing and

double-width characters are set with

twice the width of normal characters.

• This command cancels previous tab settings.

• When setting n = 8, the print position is moved to column 9 sending $09.

• Up to 32 tab positions ( k = 32) can be set. Data exceeding 32 tab positions is

processed as normal data.

Send [ n ] k in ascending order and place a 0 NUL code at the end. When [ n ] k

is less than or equal to the

preceding value [ n ] k-1, the setting is complete and the data which follows is

processed as normal data.52

• $1B $44 00 cancels all horizontal tab positions.

• The previously specified horizontal tab position does not change, even if the

character width is modified.

[Default]

Default tab positions are set at intervals of 8 characters (columns12×24) for

Font A when the right-side character spacing is 0.
