EasyCoder E4 Direct Protocol v2.10 – Programmer's Reference Manual
A box is a hollow square or rectangle that can be rotated with
an increment 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 commands, PRPOS,
ALIGN, and DIR, a box fi eld is specifi ed by a single command.
