narrow chassis 80 96 137 160
(e) Out of range:
• The command will be ignored.
(f) Logical limitations:
XmYmZm represents a 3 digit number where each consecutive XmYmZm number
must be greater than the previous one or else Xm Ym Zm is ignored.
X1 Y1 Z1 < X2 Y2 Z2 < ... < Xmax Ymax Zmax
(g) Details:
• Maximum of 16 HT stops maybe defined.
• Horizontal tab settings can be cleared by:
— ESC HT CR (defining no tabs)
— ESC HT 000 CR (defining no tabs)
— ESC HT 001 CR (defining no tabs)
Note: Tab position “0” and tab position “1” both represented the first column position
on the print line.
• X1 Y1 Z1 is a 3-digit ASCII numeric. A 2-digit or 1-digit X1Y1Z1 number can be
specified, however, by separating it from the subsequent parameters with a comma.
• Upon Power-Up and reset conditions, such as l-Prime, the default tabs are set at
character columns 9, 17, 25, 33 ... and every eight character columns after that.
• Horizontal Tab positions are relative to the character pitch. While in 10 cpi, a H-
tab of 10 characters will represent a physical distance of 1 (10/10th) inch. This
same 10 character H-tab in 12 cpi will represent a physical distance of 11/12th
of an inch.
• Refer to the Illustration attachments for further details.
