Purpose

Moves the logical printhead right to the next horizontal tab stop.

Comment

Power-on default horizontal tabs are set at every eighth character in the SeĆ

rial Matrix printer protocol. If there are no horizontal tabs set or the logical

printhead is located at the last character column, the code is ignored and no

movement occurs.

Horizontal tabs are stored as a relative position; therefore, character pitch

changes will change horizontal tab positions. Refer to the Horizontal Tab Set

control code to set new tab positions.
