ESC "D" [n]k NUL
[Function] Setting the Horizontal tab position
[Code] <1B>H <44>H [n]k <00>H
[Range] 1 £ n £ 255
0 £ k £ 32
[Outline] This command sets the horizontal tab position. n denotes the number of
columns from the head of the line to the horizontal tab setting position and
equals the set column position - 1. k denotes the number of horizontal tab
positions to be set. The tab position is set at the character width ´ n from the
head of the line. The character width at this time includes the space to the right
of the character; it will be double the normal character width if the double width
characters are selected.
The data <n>k denoting the set position is entered in the ascending order and
ends with <00>H. ESC D NUL clears all the set tab positions. HT is ignored
after clearing.
[Caution] If the data <n>k is equal to or smaller than the preceding data <n>k - 1, it is
assumed that horizontal tab setting has been completed. If this is the case, the
subsequent data will be processed as normal data.
Up to 16 horizontal tabs can be set. The data beyond this limit are processed as
normal ones. If the data <n>k exceeds the one-line print range, set the "set
column position = maximum print columns + 1."
Even if the character width is changed after setting the horizontal tab position,
the latter will not change.
[Default] 7´9 font, every 8 characters (9th, 17th, 25th column, and so on)
