Horizontal Positioning Commands
The horizontal positioning commands control the horizontal print positions of
characters on the receipt.
The commands describe operation for 80 mm paper. If the printer supports 82.5 mm
paper, the dot spacing is the same but there are 640 printable dots rather 576 printable
dots on the 80 mm paper.
Horizontal Tab
ASCII HT
Hexadecimal 09
Decimal 9
Moves the print position to the next tab position set by the Set Horizontal Tab Positions
(1B 44 n1 n2 ... 00) command. The print position is reset to column one after each line.
Tab treats the left margin as column one, therefore changes to the left margin will move
the tab positions.
When no tabs are defined to the right of the current position, or if the next tab is past the
right margin, Line Feed is executed. HT has no effect in Page Mode.
Print initialization sets 32 tabs at column 9, 17, 25…

Prints the first character of the next print line in column n. It must be sent for each line
not printed at column one. The value of n is set to one after each line.
