4.6 Box Field

A box is a hollow square or rectangle that can be rotated with an incre-
ment of 90° according to the print direction. If the line thickness is
suffi ciently large, the box will appear to be fi lled (another method is to
print an extremely thick short line).
In addition to the general formatting instructions
, a box fi eld is specifi ed by a single instruction.
