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

Moves logically the print carriage to the next horizontal tab stop.

This code moves logically the print carriage to the next horizontal tab stop as defined by ESC D.
Up to 28 (IBM mode) or 32 (EPSON mode) 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).

In EPSON mode, 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.

In IBM mode, the tab stops, both, default and set by ESC,

are memorized as logical position in the page, so that are affected by changing the horizontal
spacing. The horizontal tab stops can be changed by the ESC D command.
