Error Alias Contains Invalid Characters

Message

In the Printer Configuration Grid, I am trying to add a printer alias, and I keep getting the following message:

Alias Contains Invalid Characters

What are invalid characters in the Printer Configuration Grid?

Explanation

The following characters are not allowed when creating an alias name for a printer:

  • , (comma)
  • ! (exclamation)
  • * (asterisk)
  • " (quotation mark)
  • ; (semicolon)
  • < (less than)
  • > (greater than)

Note: Underscore ( _ ) may not be used to start the alias, but may be used after a character in the alias name.

Example
_Dock Printer = Not allowed
Dock_Printer = Allowed
