Specifying horizontal tab positions/ESC D

[ASCII]
[Decimal]
[Hexadecimal]
[Parameter]
[Description]
● Sets horizontal tab positions.
● 'n' indicates the number of columns from the left margin. 'k' indicates the number of horizontal tab positions. Up to 32
positions can be set.
● Horizontal tabs are set as an absolute position of (Current character width) × (Number of columns). Therefore, even
when the character width is changed, the horizontal tab position does not change. The character width at the time of
setting includes the value of character-to-character space rate. When 10CPI, 12CPI, 15CPI, reduced printing, or double-
wide enlarged printing is specified, data are processed in units of the character width specified.
● NUL code indicates the termination of setting.
● Set horizontal tab positions in ascending order. When a smaller value is set after a larger value, the setting
is terminated at that point.
● Immediately after power-ON, horizontal tab positions of a size equivalent to 10CPI are set every 8
columns. All horizontal tab positions are canceled by ESC D NUL code without a parameter.
●The tab position that exceeds right margin is not available. The disabled tab position is enabled when the tab position is
set within the print area by resetting the margin.
● The setting is initialized by ESC @ Initialize command.
