The spacing is always constant if the
TAB function is used.
When the TAB function is used, the display positions will not vary depending on
the display contents as with when ";" or "," is used.
(2) SPC Function
When the SPC function is used, a number of blank spaces can be displayed from
the last displayed character position. Use ";" (semicolon) as a separator for the
SPC function. When the SPC function is used, the number of spaces will not vary
depending on the display contents as with when ";" or "," is used.
