Purpose

Moves the logical printhead right to the next horizontal tab stop.

Comment

Power–on default horizontal tabs are set at every eighth character in the Serial Ma-
trix printer protocol. If there are no horizontal tabs set or the logical printhead is lo-
cated at the last character column, the code is ignored and no movement occurs.

Horizontal tabs are stored as a relative position; therefore, character pitch changes
change horizontal tab positions. Refer to the Horizontal Tab Set control code to set
new tab positions.
