Horizontal Positioning Commands

The horizontal positioning commands control the horizontal print positions of characters
on the receipt and slip.
Horizontal Tab
Hexadecimal:
Moves the print position to the next tab position set by the Set Horizontal Tab Positions
(1B 44 n1 n2 ... 00) command. The print position is reset to column one after each line.
Tab treats the left margin as column one, therefore changes to the left margin will move
the tab positions.
When there are no tabs defined to the right of the current position, or if the next tab is past
the right margin, line feed is executed (both slip and receipt.) HT has no effect in page
mode. Printer initialization sets 32 tabs at column 9, 17, 25, ... (Every 8 characters)
Example:
MSComm1.Output = Chr$(&H09)
