[Outline] This command sets the horizontal tab position. n denotes the number of columns from the
head of the line to the horizontal tab setting position and equals the set column position - 1.
k denotes the number of horizontal tab positions to be set. The tab position is set at the
character width
×
n from the head of the line. The character width at this time includes the
space to the right of the character; it will be double the normal character width if the double
width characters are selected.
The data k denoting the set position is entered in the ascending order and ends with
<00>H. ESC D NUL clears all the set tab positions. HT is ignored after clearing.
[Caution] If the data k is equal to or smaller than the preceding data k - 1, it is assumed that
horizontal tab setting has been completed. If this is the case, the subsequent data will be
processed as normal data.
Up to 16 horizontal tabs can be set. The data beyond this limit are processed as normal
ones. If the data k exceeds the one-line print range, set the "set column position =
maximum print columns + 1."
Even if the character width is changed after setting the horizontal tab position, the latter will
not change.
