ESC D [ n ] k NUL
[Function] Setting Horizontal Tab Position
[Code] <1B>H<44>H [ ] k<00>H
[Range] {0 =< n =< FF(Hex)}
{0 =< k =< 20(Hex)}
[Outline] Specifying a horizontal tab position.
• “n” indicates the no. of columns from the beginning to the horizontal tab position.
At this time, n= set position – 1 is to be specified. For example, to set the position
at 9th column, n=8 is to be specified.
• k denotes the number of horizontal tab positions you want to set.
• The tab position is set at position where it is “character width × n” from the line
beginning. The character width, at this time, includes the rightward space amount.
In double wide characters, it is made double of the ordinary case.
• Tab positions can be specified are maximum 32. Specifying exceeding this is
ignored. k, which denotes a setting position, is input in the increasing order
and ends at <00> H.
• ESC D NUL clears all the set tab positions. Following clearing, horizontal tab
command is ignored.
[Caution] When the data, k, is equal to or smaller than its preceding data, k-1, it is
assumed that tab setting is finished. If this is the case, the next data onward will be
processed as normal data. When the data, k, exceeds a 1-line print area, set the
horizontal tab position, assuming “Set digit position = Maximum print digits + 1.”
The horizontal tab position does not change even if the character width is altered
after setting the horizontal tab position.
[Default] Initial value is specified every eight characters (9th, 17th, 25th, and on) of Font A.
