eMate 300 Update 2.1 (737246)

This document describes the product enhancements included in the system update 
file named "eMate 300 Update 2.1 (737246)." The eMate 300 Update 2.1 (737246) 
is for Apple eMate 300 customers in the United States.

This version will install over the following system software version for the eMate300:

* version 2.1 (737041)

Important  Before you install any system update, you should back up your Apple eMate300 
using the Newton Connection Utilities application or a PC storage card 
(also known as a PCMCIA card). For more information, see the documentation that came 
with the software or your eMate 300. Apple is not responsible for any lost data.

Checking battery status

* The battery level indicator in the Extras Drawer now accurately displays the amount 
of battery charge. The fix allows the eMate to get a full first charge cycle on new 
batteries and provides a normal battery run time.

Memory

* In earlier system software versions, the eMate may seem to not have enough memory 
when in fact it does. This problem is fixed.

Printing

* You can now print to a  StyleWriter 6500 printer over a LocalTalk network.  
This requires the 3.0 version of the StyleWriter 6500 printer driver as well 
as this system update.

* In earlier system software versions, if you printed ink text to a StyleWriter 
Printer 4500 or 6500 at 600DPI, your eMate would freeze. This problem is fixed 
so that when you print, the text gets truncated if there is a full text buffer. 
More text may be printed if the printer's DPI is set to 300.

* Flipped shapes are printed correctly to PostScript printers.  

Faxing

* Text on the cover page of a fax is now clear.

* You can drop or add fax numbers before faxing a document without 
getting an error message.

* You can access eMates on extended networks that previously appeared not 
to be visible.

Using PC cards 

* The eMate 300 can now recognize a greater variety of PC cards.

* In earlier system software versions, you might get the message 
"Newton still needs the card..." when certain communication cards are ejected. 
This problem is fixed.
