80 LPRINTCHR$(ll) ; “F’IFTHTAB.”
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 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.

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” O 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.
