[Description]Movesthe print position tothe next horizontaltabposition.
[Details] § Thiscommand isignored unless the next horizontaltabposition hasbeen set.
§ Ifthe next horizontaltabposition exceedsthe printingarea, the printersetsthe
printingposition to[Printingarea width+1].
§ Horizontaltabpositionsareset with ESCD.
§ Ifthiscommand isreceived when theprintingposition isat[printingarea
width+1], the printerexecutesprint buffer-full printingofthe current line and
horizontaltabprocessingfromthe beginningofthe next line.
§ The default settingofthe horizontaltabposition forthe paperroll isfont A(12
24)every8character(column9, 17, 25, ...).
§ When the bufferisfull on current line, the printerwill do the following:
InStandardMode, print the current line and set the print position tonext line.
InPageMode, printerentersnewline and set the print position tonext line.

[Notes]§ Thiscommand isall characters(alphanumericand Kanji)effectiveexcept
forHRI characters.
§ Ifnisoutside ofthe defined range, thiscommand isignored.
§ Instandardmode, the verticaldirection isthe paperfeed direction, and the
horizontaldirection isperpendiculartothe paperfeed direction. However,
when characterorientation changesin90 clockwise-rotation mode, the
relationshipbetween verticaland horizontaldirectionsisreversed.
§ Inpagemode, verticaland horizontaldirectionsarebased on the character
orientation.
§ When charactersareenlarged withdifferent sizeson one line, all the
characterson the line arealigned at the baseline.
§ The ESC! command can alsoturndouble-widthand double-height modes
on oroff. However, the settingofthe last received command iseffective.
