USE OF TABULATOR KEY

When the tabulator key is operated, the carriage moves quickly to any predetermined position. 

The tabulator key can be set by hand at required positions on the rack. On modern machines, it can be set by a special key provided for that purpose. When a tabulator bar is depressed, the carriage moves to the position for which the stop is set. In order to set the tabulator at 15, the space bar should be tapped five times from the left margin when this is 10, and stop set at this point. If the tabular stop is set wrongly or is no longer required, the setting can be cleared by using the clearing key or level provided.

Evaluation: Describe the use of tabulator key.
