Description:
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.
Remarks:
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.

Remarks:
Thermal POS Printer This command is adapted to print image data. pL, pH
specifies the number of bytes following pH using (pL + pH x 256). Since
frequent writing operation could cause the damage to the NV memory, it is
recommended to write only
when being required. While storing data by this command, the printer is in
BUSY state where receiving of data is not available.
Therefore, it is not recommended to send data during this process. The real
time commands and LSB operations are not allowed during NV memory operation
process.

the status change if ASB is enabled. Using this ASB function, the host can
check to see if the printer is running properly.
Once ASB has been enabled, the printer continues to transmit the current
printer status at the specified interval until ASB is disabled.
When n = 0, ASB is disabled. The printer stops transmitting the status. With
parallel and USB interface, the printer status is transmitted whenever the
host computer changes to the
reverse mode regardless of the printer status change. It is recommended that
the periodic time interval at which the host changes to reverse mode is more
than 500ms in order to receive the correct status. With serial interface, ASB
status is transmitted continuously at the interval of 1 sec even if the status
is not changed. The setting of this command remains effective until ESC @,

Remarks:
Thermal POS Printer In standard mode, this command is effective when the
printer buffer is empty and the printer is in the
beginning of the line. If the buffer is not empty, after processing m, the
printer treats the following data as normal data. In page mode, the bit image
is stored in the print buffer, not being printed. None of the print modes such
as emphasized, double-strike, etc, affects the printing of the bit image. The
default dot density set by GS L is applied to printing of the bit image.
