imagesetters. Previously, these types of images appeared too dark
when printed on certain imagesetters.

* TrueType fonts sent to a printer as Type 3 (bitmap) fonts are
now sent at the actual resolution of the printer, so the printer
will have enough memory to print publications with Type 3
versions of TrueType fonts.

* PageMaker now automatically switches a printer to PostScript or
PCL mode, depending on the type of printer driver (PCL or
PostScript) selected for the target printer.

* PageMaker is now able to send publications to fax machines
using any supported fax driver.

* PageMaker now sends pages in discrete bands for non-PostScript
printers that support banding (such as the Hewlett-Packard
LaserJet II and III series and the Canon BubbleJet).

* Downloadable fonts now print for all pages in a publication,
regardless of the number of pages printed and the number of EPS
graphics in the publication. Previously, downloadable fonts in
publications that also contained EPS graphics with downloadable
fonts would sometimes stop printing after a certain number of
pages were printed.
