ESC D [ n ] k NUL
[Function] Setting horizontal tab position
[Code] <1B> H <44> H [<n>] k <00> H
[Range] 1 ≤ n ≤ 255
0 ≤ k ≤ 32
[Outline] Specifying a horizontal tab position.
• "n" indicates the number of columns from the beginning to the horizontal tab position. At
this time, "n= set position− 1" is to be specified. For example, to set the position at 9th
column, n=8 is to be specified.
• "k" denotes the number of horizontal tab positions you want to set.
• The tab position is set at position where it is "character width×n" from the line beginning.
The character width, at this time, includes the rightward space amount. In double wide
characters, it is made double of the ordinary case.
• Tab positions can be specified are maximum 32. Specifying exceeding this is ignored.
• <n> k, which denotes a setting position, is input in the increasing order and ends at <00> H.
• ESC D NUL clears all the set tab positions. Following clearing, horizontal tab command
is ignored.
[Caution] When the data, <n> k, is equal to or smaller than its preceding data, <n> k-1, it is assumed
that tab setting is finished. If this is the case, the next data onward will be processed as
normal data.
When the data, <n> k, exceeds a 1-line print area, set the horizontal tab position, assuming
"Set digit position = Maximum print digits + 1." The horizontal tab position does not
change even if the character width is altered after setting the horizontal tab position.
[Default] • Initial value is specified for each eight characters (9th., 17th., 25th. columns) of Font A.
