Either the author made a mistake or I am a complete idiot because of this:

07 GTO 58
08 1

I can perform step 07 just fine but when I immediately press the "1" key in step 08, I get "Error 4" on the LCD of the 12CP! That is basically what I was trying to convey in my earlier post. I am using a real 12CP but you can try it yourself on the 12CP Emulator here.

You told me to not press ENTER unless those program steps specifically call for pressing ENTER. For that reason, I am not pressing enter after "GTO 58" and so when I perform step 8, the end result is that I am actually pressing "GTO 581" which results in Error 4.

Can you please explain how I should type in steps 07 and 08?

Thank you.

It's quite simple. You're gettin Error 4 because you're trying to go to step 581, which doesn't exist. You need to do the following:

First, ensure that you're keying in the listed steps In Program mode, so that they get recorded as a program, not in Run mode which would execute them immediately and that wouldn't work at all. You must be in Program mode.

Second, every destination of a GTO must be a 3-digit number, like 007, 234 or 053. So, to key in GTO 58 you must key it in as GTO 058, to make it a 3-digit address.

That's all it takes: Program mode and 3-digit destinations such that GTO 47, say, is entered ad GTO 047.

Hope that helps.
