Parameters

Parameter	Meaning
`x1,y1`	Top-left corner, in dots
`t`	Line thickness in dots — in EPL the thickness sits BETWEEN the corners
`x2,y2`	Bottom-right corner, in dots

Common mistake

Assuming the TSPL/CPCL parameter order: in EPL the thickness is the third parameter (X40,40,4,760,400); written TSPL-style as X40,40,760,400,4 it asks for a 760-dot-thick box.
