It's documented in updmap.cfg(5):
,----
| MixedMap
| Similar to Map. It should be used when there is Type1 and a
| bitmap implementation of the font (the latter mostly coming
| from MetaFont). These entries will not be used in the default
| map of dvips if dvipsPreferOutline is set to false. Usage:
| MixedMap filename.map
`----
If you use MixedMap, you can switch from using Type1 fonts to PK fonts,
either with "updmap --setoption dvipsPreverOutline=false", or by calling
dvips with "-u psfonts_pk" (I think). This might make sense if PK fonts
give better output on a particular printer.
