[Description] Sets horizontal tab positions.
ù
n
specifies the number of columns present between the beginning of the line and the
position at which a horizontal table is to be set.
n
= tab column position - 1. If you want to set a tab at column 9, set
n
to 8.
ù
k
indicates the total number of horizontal tab positions to be set.
ù
A horizontal tab position is set to a position expressed by “character width
´
n
” from the
beginning of the line. The character width includes the right-side character spacing. In
double-width mode, the character width is twice the width of normal characters. In page
mode, the character width is also determined according to the double-width setting.
ù
[
n
]
k
, which indicates the set position, needs to be set in ascending order and <00>H
must be entered at the end.
ù ESC D
NUL
cancels all horizontal tab positions. An
HT
received after tabs are cleared
is ignored.
[Notes]
ù
When [
n
]
k
is less than or equal to the preceding value [
n
]
k
-1, horizontal tab setting is
considered to have been completed. In this case, the subsequent data is processed as
normal data.
ù
Up to 32 tab positions can be set. Data exceeding 32 tab positions is processed as
normal data.
ù
If an
HT
is executed, attempts to move to any tab position outside the printable area will
result in movement to a position only 1 dot outside the printable area.
ù
Once horizontal tab positions are specified, they do not change even if the character
width is changed.
ù
The right-side character spacing is set independently in page mode and in standard
mode. Therefore, the right-side character spacing is used to set horizontal tab
positions.
[Default] The default tab positions are at intervals of 8 characters
(columns 9, 17, 25, ...) for the 5
´
7 character font.
