= SUMMARY =

If quotation marks do not print when using Mac Daisy Link, the “Smart” Quotes option may be enabled. Some daisy wheel printers have a separate pin for “smart” quotes; it is possible that the printer is trying to strike a pin that doesn’t exist.

To print the quotation marks, do the following:

  Choose Preferences from the Edit menu and deselect the “Smart” Quotes option.   Use the Change command under the Utilities menu to change all the “smart” quotes to normal format characters as described below:   From the Utilities menu, choose Change.   To change single open “smart” quotes, type ^212 in the Find What box and ^39 in the Change To box. Click the Change All button.   To change single closed “smart” quotes, type ^211 in the Find What box and ^39 in the Change To box. Click the Change All button.   To change double open “smart” quotes, type ^210 in the Find What box and ^34 in the Change To box. Click the Change All button.
