09
Decimal
9
[Description]
Moves the print position to the next horizontal tab position.
[Notes]
This command is ignored unless the next horizontal tab position has been set.
If the next horizontal tab position exceeds the printing area, the printer sets the
printing position to [printing area width + 1].
Horizontal tab positions are set with ESC D
If this command is received when the printing position is at [printing area width+
1], the printer executes print buffer-full printing of the current line and
horizontal tab processing from the beginning of the next line.

Decimal
27 68 n1 Nk 0
[Range]
1 ≤ n ≤ 255
0 ≤ k ≤ 32
[Description]
Sets horizontal tab positions
• n specifies the column number for setting a horizontal tab position
calculated from the beginning of the
line.
• k indicates the total number of horizontal tab positions to be set.
[Notes]
• The horizontal tab position is stored as a value of [character width x n]
measured from the beginning of the
line. The character width includes the right-side character spacing and
double-width characters are set with
twice the width of normal characters.
• This command cancels previous tab settings.
• When setting n = 8, the print position is moved to column 9 sending $09.
• Up to 32 tab positions ( k = 32) can be set. Data exceeding 32 tab positions is
processed as normal data.
Send [ n ] k in ascending order and place a 0 NUL code at the end. When [ n ] k
is less than or equal to the
preceding value [ n ] k-1, the setting is complete and the data which follows is
processed as normal data.52
• $1B $44 00 cancels all horizontal tab positions.
• The previously specified horizontal tab position does not change, even if the
character width is modified.
[Default]
Default tab positions are set at intervals of 8 characters (columns12×24) for
Font A when the right-side character spacing is 0.

[Description]
Sets the distance from the beginning of the line to the position at which
subsequent characters are to be printed. The distance from the beginning of
the line to the print position is [(nL + nH × 256) × 0.125 mm].
[Notes]
Settings outside the specified printable area are ignored.
In standard mode, the horizontal motion unit (x) is used.
In page mode, horizontal or vertical motion units differ depending on the
starting position of the printable area, as follows:
➀When the starting position is set to the upper left or lower right of the
printable area using ESC T, the horizontal motion unit (x) is used.
➁When the starting position is set to the upper right or lower left of the
printable area using ESC T, the vertical motion unit (y) is used.

[Description]
Sets the relative horizontal print starting position from the current position.
This command sets the distance from the current position to
[(nL + nH ×256)×0.125 mm].
[Notes]
The printer ignores any setting that exceeds the print area.
When pitch N is specified for the movement to the right: nL+ nH × 256 = N.
Use the complement of N for setting N pitch movement to the left:
(nL + nH × 256) = 65536 – N.

■ If the print position is not set to the beginning of the line, when n
= 1, 49, this command functions the same as L F .
■ Setting values of each command, definitions, and receive buffer
content are not changed.
■ By processing this command, the print position moves to the left of
the print area. The printer will be in the beginning of the line and data
will not be in t h e print buf f e r .
■ When using commands that are enabled only at the beginning of the

(except for dxL= dxH=0 or dyL= dyH=0)
[Description]
Set the size and position of the printing area in page mode as follows:
Horizontal starting position: x0= [( xL + xH × 256) × 0.125mm]
Vertical starting position: y0 = [( yL + yH × 256) × 0.125mm]
Printing area width: dx = [ (dxL + dxH × 256) ×0.125mm]
Printing area height: dy = [ (dyL + dyH × 256) ×0.125mm]
[Notes]
•This command is processed in standard mode to set an activated internal
flag so that don't influence printing.
•The printer stop processing this command once horizontal starting position
or vertical starting position ran out of the printing area, the subsequent data
are processed as normal one.
•The printer stop processing this command once printing area width or height
was set to 0, the subsequent data are processed as normal one.
•This command confirms the current printing position with command ESC T.
•The default set of printing area width is horizontal printable width -
horizontal starting position if the value of horizontal starting position +
printing area width was beyond printable area.
•The default set of printing area height is vertical printable height - vertical
starting position if the value of vertical starting position + printing area height
was beyond printable area.
•The default settings of the horizontal and vertical motion units are
0.125mm.
•Assuming horizontal starting position, vertical starting position, printing area
width and printing area height X, Y, Dx, Dy, set the printing area as shown
below:
[Default]
xL = xH = yL = yH = 0
dxL, dxH, dyL and dyH decided by printer settings
