The PANT command can be used to specify the PANTONE uncoated color by number or
name. (See http://www.pantone.com for details on Pantone Colors.)
The following should be noted when specifying a color by its PANTONE number.
• In PANTONE numbers, a C or U symbol is added after the number to distinguish
between coated and uncoated. These symbols are not necessary when a color is
specified using the PRESCRIBE command. In fact, the command becomes invalid if
one of these symbols is added to a number. If there is no color corresponding to the
number specified in the valid range, then the color black is specified.
The following should be noted when specifying a color by its PANTONE name.
• Always enclose character strings in single quotation marks or double quotation
marks. Character strings may be entered in either upper case or lower case.
• In names that contain a combination of words and numbers, such as Red 032 and
Cool Black 2, a space must be inserted between the words and number. If spaces are
not inserted, the words and numbers will be recognized as a different name, in which
case the color will not be specified correctly.
• If a nonexistent name is specified, the command is ignored.
When PANTONE is specified, a color space RGB palette is created, and a color
corresponding to the specified color number is assigned to the palette and selected. The
color is always assigned to index number 0.
Colors may be added to the palette or changed. However, when a color is assigned to
index number 0, the colors created with the PANT command are discarded.
The palette remains valid unless a new one is generated. Therefore, colors created with
the PANT command can be selected using SCOL 0;.
If the PANT command is issued multiple times (either in succession or not in
succession), the color which is valid is the color corresponding to the last entered
command. The colors corresponding to previously entered commands are deleted.
The palette ID number remains valid (active) and does not change.
A total of 45 colors can be specified by name (see list below). These colors must be
spelled as shown, although the letters may be in upper case or lower case.
