(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.
