This code is a terminator code, when received, causes all data in the
print buffer to be printed out. Then it advances the paper to the first
printable line of the next form. The line counter is set to the first line
value and the column counter is set to the left margin value. This
code cancels the double width printing set by SO code.
HT
Horizontal Tab. (IBM, EPSON)
ASCII Code
HT

This code moves logically the print carriage to the next horizontal tab
stop as defined by ESC D.
In IBM mode, up to 28 horizontal tab stops can be set. The HT code is
ignored if no tab stop has been set or if the current print carriage
position has moved past the last tab position or if the tab stop is on or
beyond the right margin. At power on, the tab stops are set every
eight columns (default). The horizontal tab stops can be changed by
the ESC D command.
In EPSON mode, up to 32 horizontal tab stops can be set. The default
tab stops are memorized as logical position in the page, so that are
affected by changing the horizontal spacing. The tab stop positions
set by ESC D are memorized as physical position in the page and
therefore they are not affected by changing the horizontal spacing.
When the double width printing is selected, the tab stop setting must
take account that each character occupies two columns. Character
scoring (underline, overscore and strikethrough) is not printed
between the current print position and the next tab when this
command is sent.
