Ht Horizontal Tab; Esc 'D' [N]K Nul Set Horizontal Tab Position - Seiko RP-F10 Series Technical Reference

HT
Code 09H
Function Shifts the print position to the next horizontal tab position.
Notes This command is ignored when the next horizontal tab position is not set.
The print position is shifted to [print area width + 1] when the next horizontal tab position is
beyond the print area.
The horizontal tab position is set by the "Set Horizontal Tab Position" command (ESC 'D').
The default of the horizontal tab position is every 8 characters of the character font in the
initial state.
Upon reception of this command when the print position is at [print area width + 1] in the
standard mode, full print of the current line and horizontal tab processing from the beginning
of the next line are executed.
Upon reception of this command when the print position is at [print area width + 1] in the page
mode, full print processing of the current line and horizontal tab processing from the beginning
of the next line are executed.

Definition Range
Default Every 8 characters of the character font in the initial state
Function Sets the horizontal tab position.
n: Number of characters from the left margin or beginning of the line to the setting position
k: Number of horizontal tab positions to be set
Notes The horizontal tab position is set as [n × character width] from the left margin or beginning of
the line. The character width here means the entire character width including the right space
of the character, and when the double width is specified, this width is doubled.
This command cancels the horizontal tab positions already set.
When n = 8 is set as the horizontal tab position, the next print position shifts to the 9th
character by executing the "Horizontal Tab" command (HT).
Up to 32 horizontal tabs can be set (k = 32).
When the number of tabs exceeds this number, the subsequent data is processed as normal
data. Input n that specifies the setting position in ascending order and end with 00H. When n
is equal to or smaller than the preceding n, the setting process of horizontal tab position ends
at the moment that n is input, and the subsequent data is processed as normal data.
Canceling all horizontal tab positions is performed by the "Set Horizontal Tab Position"
command (ESC 'D' [n]k NUL).
When n exceeds the printable area of 1 line, the horizontal tab position is set at the number of
printable characters per line + 1.
Even when the character width is changed after setting the horizontal tab position, the set
horizontal tab position remains unchanged.
