ESC "D" [n] k NUL
[Function] Setting the horizontal tab position
[Code] <1B>H <44>H [n] k <00>H
[Range] 1 £ n £ Max. print columns – 1
1 £ k £ 16
[Outline] This command sets the horizontal tab positions. n indicates the number of lines
from the head of the line to the horizontal tab setting position; n equals the set
column position - 1." k indicates 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 right space of the character and will be
doubled if the double width characters are specified.
The data <n>k indicating the set position is entered in the ascending order and
ends with <00>H. ESC D NUL clears all the set tab positions. After clearing
the tab positions, HT will be ignored.
[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. In that case, the
subsequent data will be processed as regular one.
Up to 16 tab positions can be set. If the data exceeds this limit, it will be
processed as regular data. If the data <n>k exceeds the one-line print range,
the set column position will equal the maximum print columns + 1.
If the character width is changed after setting the horizontal tab positions, they
will not change.
