ESC D [ n ] k NUL
[Function] Setting Horizontal Tab Position
[Code] <1B>H<44>H [ <n> ] k<00>H
[Range] {0
≤ n ≤ FFH}
{0
≤ k ≤ 20H} Data is described in Hex code.
[Outline] Specifying a horizontal tab position.
• "n" indicates the no. of columns from the beginning to the horizontal tab position. At
this time, n= set position
− 1 is to be specified. For example, to set the position at 9th
column, n=8 is to be specified.
• k denotes the number of horizontal tab positions you want to set.
• The tab position is set at position where it is "character width x n" from the line
beginning. The character width, at this time, includes the rightward space amount.
In double wide characters, it is made double of the ordinary case.
• Tab positions can be specified are maximum 32.
Specifying exceeding this is ignored.
• <n> k, which denotes a setting position, is input in the increasing order and ends at
<00> H.
• ESC D NUL clears all the set tab positions.
Following clearing, horizontal tab command is ignored.
[Caution] When the data, <n> k, is equal to or smaller than its preceding data, <n>
k-1, it is assumed that tab setting is finished. If this is the case, the next data onward
will be processed as normal data.
When the data, <n> k, exceeds a 1-line print area, set the horizontal tab position,
assuming "Set digit position = Maximum print digits + 1." The horizontal tab
position does not change even if the character width is altered after setting the
horizontal tab position.
[Default]
• Initial value is specified for each eight characters (9 th
.17
th
.25
th
columns) of ANK
characters.
