[Description]
・ The position of the horizontal tab is the character width * n (at the time that the
horizontal tab is set) from the left margin.
・ Enter n values in ascending order and end the setting with NUL.
・ If an n value is smaller than the previous one, the tab setting is finished.
・ Even if the character width is changed after the horizontal tab positions are set, those
horizontal tab setting positions do not change.
・ ESC D NUL deletes all horizontal tab positions.
・ If the left margin is moved, the horizontal tab positions are moved along with it.
・ Up to 32 horizontal tab positions can be set. However, horizontal tab positions beyond
the right margin are invalid and only become valid when a change in the right margin
setting or left margin setting moves the print area to those tab positions.
・ The character width at the time that the horizontal tabs are set includes the command
settings for specifying character spacing, full-width character spacing, or half-width
character spacing. In addition, when the 10 cpi, 12 cpi, or15 cpi pitch, reduced
characters, or double-width characters are specified, that character width is considered
the unit.
・ When proportional pitch is specified with ESC p, horizontal tab positions are set at 10
cpi.
・ When the unit is switched on, horizontal tab positions are set every 8 columns at 10 cpi.

Even if the character width is changed before the horizontal tab positions are set, the
horizontal tab positions do not change.
