Add one more line to the program to demonstrate one more feature of vertical tabs.

80 LPRINT CHR$(ll):"FIFTH TAB."

Now when you run the program the first page looks just like before, but line 80 sends one more <VT > than there are tabs. This doesn’t confuse your printer - it advances the paper to the next tab position which happens to be the first tab position on the next page. That’s nice, isn’t it?

There’s a one-time vertical tab command that works just like the one-time horizontal tab command. Try this program how these command work.

In this program, line 30 sends a one-time vertical tab with (ESC) “f” 1 command. Line 50 sends a one-time horizontal tab with (ESC) “f” 0 command. Finally, line 70 and line 80 send one-time vertical tab and one-time horizontal tab, so the line 90 prints text at the specified position.
