Set horizontal tab positions
ASCII ESC D [n] k NUL
Hexadecimal 1B 44 [n] k 00
Decimal
27 68 [n] k 0
Value of n: Column number for tab minus one.
(n is always less than or equal to the
current selected column width)
Value of k: 0–32 (decimal)
Default: Every 8 characters from column
1 (9, 17, 25, etc.) for normal print.
Sets up to 32 horizontal tab positions n columns from
column one, but does not move the print position. See the
horizontal tab command (09).
The tab positions remain unchanged if the character widths
are changed after the tabs are set. The command ends with
hexadecimal 00; hexadecimal 1B 44 00 clears all tabs.
Tabs assumed to be in strictly ascending order. A tab out of
order terminates the command string as if it were 00, and
remaining tab values are taken as normal data.
Formulas
Set the tab positions in ascending order and put Hex 00 at
the end.
Hex 1B 44 00 (number of tabs not specified) clears all tab
positions.
Exceptions
The tabs cannot be set higher than the column width of the
current pitch.
