DRAWING RECTANGLES USING EA

    
     The commands to draw rectangles in HP-GL/2 are EA ,
     Edge Rectangle Absolute , and ER , Edge Rectangle
     Relative. To use these commands, the printer uses the
     current pen location for one corner and you give the
     coordinates for the diagonally opposite corner. This
     example uses EA to draw the rectangle.  For more
     information see the PCL 5 Printer Language Technical
     Reference Manual.

                                   (black). Even though
                                   there is no physical pen,
                                   the SP command must be
                                   used to enable printing.

                                   current pen location,
                                   (10,10), and the upper
