SYMPTOMS
========
If you print an Aldus Pagemaker for Macintosh document that contains embedded
graphics (such as TIFF images), to a Windows NT printer queue, the print job
fails.
CAUSE
=====
Pagemaker, by default, sends embedded graphics as binary, whether or not the
PostScript printer description (PPD) file supports it. Embedded binary data in a
PostScript job is protocol dependent. This problem occurs if a Windows NT print
server forwards a binary PostScript print job from a Macintosh client to a
non-AppleTalk print device.
RESOLUTION
==========
To correct this problem:
1. In Pagemaker, select Print from the File menu.
2. Choose Options.
3. In the Send Data field, change the option to Normal (hex).
MORE INFORMATION
================
To verify if your printer queue supports binary print jobs, use the LaserWriter
8.x Chooser to view the printer information as follows:
1. Select Printer Info from Setup to view the Windows NT printer queue.
2. View one of the entries in the information window for binary communication
support.
Pagemaker is manufactured by Aldus, a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no

reliability.
