RS-232 Syntax:

ESC a n or X'1B61;n'
n The type of alignment.
00 Align Left
01 Align Center
02 Align Right
04 Align Column Right
n = 00
v Values 00, 01, and 02 are only valid at the beginning of a line.
v Tabs are only valid when printing is aligned to the left. If tabs are used
when left alignment is not used, results can be unpredictable. (See "Tab
to next tab stop" on page 155.)
v Alignment is relative to the left margin.
v To use the Align Column Right command:
1. Send the characters that you want to be left aligned.
2. Send the Align Column Right command.
3. Send the characters that you want to be right aligned.
4. Send an end of line command, for example X'0A' or X'0D'.
The printer will return to left aligned after the line is printed.
v The command is only valid in the cash receipt station.
v This command is supported only for Models TI3, TI4, TI8, TG3, TG4,
TF6, and TM6.
v The command is ignored if the printer is not left aligned when the
command is received.
v If the Align Column Right command is received but the line is filled
before an EOL is received, the filled line is treated as an EOL. There are
usually a few dot positions available, but not enough for a full character.
The column alignment will occur on the few dot positions available.
ESC c 4 n or X'1B63;34;n'
n Selects the function.
