Set Multiple Print Positions
Moves the print position to the right or left, as an
absolute or relative print position.
pN=0 to 127
a1=0 (absolute print position)
a1=1 (relative print position)
a2=0 (move to the left (backward))
a2=1 (move to the right (forward))
The character pitch determines the distance
represented by the tab (distance from the center of
one dot to the center of the next dot).
Pitch
Shift Increment
10 cpi 1/120
12 cpi 1/144
15 cpi 1/360
17.1 cpi 1/411
20 cpi 1/480
The values for p1, p2, p3 and p4 must be entered as
four-digit ASCII numbers (use leading zeros if
necessary), separated by commas, and in
ascending order.
To calculate the value, multiply the position for
which you want to set a tab by the pitch increment
of shift, and then subtract one from the product.
For example, to set a tab for 2" from the left margin
using 12 cpi pitch, multiply 2 by 144, and then
subtract 1. The value would be 0287.
Maximum values are as follows:
Pitch
2480 2481
10 cpi 959 1631
12 cpi 1151 1956
15 cpi 1339 2447
17.1 cpi 1643 2795
20 cpi 1917 3261
