[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Tabbing on Diconix 150P

d85-kai@nada.kth.se (Kai-Mikael J{{-Aro) (10/26/88)

In the family we have a Diconix 150P inkjet-printer connected to a
Toshiba 1200, and have ran into some problems with the tab stops.

1. If command sequences are inserted into the text, the parameters are
apparently subtracted from some kind of tab move counter, so that tab
stops move leftwards if depending on the number of control sequences
on the line. (Which is kind of embarrassing when setting certain words
in bold, or italic.)

2. It seems impossible to set tab stops other than the default
8-spaces separation.  (I.e. it doesn't seem to make any difference
whether I have a tab definition command or not.)

Anyone have any experiences and/or remedies?

Please mail me, as I don't normally read this newsgroup.
