■ This command sets the horizontal tab position.
• n defines the number of columns from the beginning of the line to the horizontal tab setting.
• k denotes the number of horizontal tab positions to be set.
• The horizontal tab position is stored as a value of [character width x n] measured form the beginning of the line.
■ The data [n]k signifying the set position is transmitted in the ascending order and ends with a NUL code.
■ ESC D NUL cancels all horizontal tab positions.
■ Tab position is set at the value of [character width x n] from the beginning of the line.
■ The character width includes the space to the right of the character, and it will be twice the normal character when the
double width characters are selected.
■ If the data [n]k is equal to or smaller than the preceding data [n]k-1, the horizontal tab setting has been completed.
■ Up to 32 horizontal tabs can be set, the data exceeding this limit is processed as normal ones.
■ Even if the character width is changed after setting the horizontal tab positions, the horizontal tab positions remain
unchanged.
