TAB
The DEC TAB key advances the printer to the next tab position
and aligns alpha or numeric characters to the left of that tab
position. It aligns a period (decimal point) or comma on the
tab stop and places the characters following the period or comma
to the right of the tab position.
Because DEC TAB aligns all characters before a period or a
comma to the left of the tab position, it is ideal for whole
numbers or characters that require a flush right appearance. For
statistical typing, DEC TAB simplifies the tedious task of manually
aligning a column of numbers.
For statistical typing in foreign countries, numbers are aligned
at the comma position instead of the decimal point. If this is
required, you may change the alignment character by accessing
the default settings menu (see page 37).
