[Name] Set horizontal tab positions
[Format] ASCII ESC D n …nk NUL
Hex 1B 44 n1…nk 0
Decimal 27 68 n1…nk 0
[Range] 1 ≤ n ≤ 255
0 ≤ k ≤ 32
[Default] n = 8,16,24,32 (Every eight characters for the default font set by ESC ! or ESC M)
[Description] Sets a horizontal tab to n columns from the beginning of the line. k indicates the number of
horizontal tab positions to be set.
[Notes]
The horizontal tab position is stored as a value of [character width x n] measured from
the beginning of the line. The character width includes the right-side character spacing,
and double-width characters are selected with twice the width of the normal characters.
The character width should be set before using this command. Settings of character
fonts, space width and enlargement affect the setting of character width.
A maximum of 32 horizontal tab positions can be set. Data exceeding 32 horizontal tab
positions is processed as normal data.
This command cancels any previous horizontal tab settings.
Transmit [n]k in ascending order and place a NULL code at the end. ESC D Null
cancels all horizontal tab positions.
