Ht Perform Horizontal Tab - Brother RJ-4030 Software Manual

HT Perform horizontal tab
ASCII: HT
Decimal: 9
Hexadecimal: 09
Parameters
None
Description
Moves the horizontal print position to the nearest horizontal tab position to the right of the input position.
If there is no horizontal tab position to the right of the input position, or if the next horizontal tab position is
beyond the right margin, the HT command is ignored.
If underlining is specified, the space between the current position and the next horizontal tab position is not
underlined.
When the printer is turned on, a horizontal tab position is specified every 8 columns at 10 cpi.
Even if the character width is changed before the horizontal tab positions have been specified, the
horizontal tab positions do not change.
This command is available only with left alignment.
Example
To specify horizontal tabs at Column 4, Column 8, and Column 12, and perform horizontal tabs:
Code: ESC D 04h 08h 0Ch 00h
123456789012 CR A HT B HT C HT D FF
