ESC D n1...nk NUL sets the horizontal tab positions. n specifies the column number (counted from
the beginning of the line) for setting a horizontal tab position. This command deletes any previously
set horizontal tab positions. Up to 32 tab positions can be set.
The default tab positions are at intervals of 8 characters (columns 9, 17, 25, etc.) for the 7 × 9 font.
These commands are valid only when the reception buffer capacity is 40 bytes (when DIP switch 1-2
is on).
