been set.
nIf the next horizontal tab position exceeds the printing area, the printer
sets the printing position to [printing area width + 1].
nHorizontal tab positions are set with ESC D.

· This command cancels the previous horizontal tab settings.
· When setting n = 8, the print position is moved to column 9 by
sending HT.
· Up to 32 tab positions (k = 32) can be set. Data exceeding 32 tab
positions is processed as normal data.
· Transmit [n]k in ascending order and place a NUL code 0 at the end.
When [n]k is less than or equal to the preceding value [n]k-1, tab
setting is finished and the following data is processed as normal
data.
· ESC D NUL cancels all horizontal tab positions.
· The previously specified horizontal tab positions do not change, even
