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

80 LPRINT CHR$(ll);"FIFTHHTAB."

NQWwhen 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 the printer - it advances the paper to the next tab position, which happens to be the first tab position on the next page.

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