Drawing Rectangles

You can draw a rectangle by outlining (edging) the defined area using the Edge Rectangle Absolute (EA) or Edge Rectangle Relative (ER) commands.

To draw a rectangle, the printer uses the current pen location for one corner; you give the coordinates for the diagonally opposite corner. The printer draws the rectangle defined by these two points. The following simple command sequence uses EA to draw a rectangle.
