Set Horizontal Tab Positions

Sets up to 32 horizontal tab positions n columns from column one, but does not move
the print position. See the Horizontal Tab command (09).

The tab positions remain unchanged if the character widths are changed after the tabs
are set. The command ends with hexadecimal 00; hexadecimal 1B 44 00 clears all tabs.
