Overview

If you are getting an error similar to the one below:

file name entered is not valid when attempting to print a sales acknowledgement

The cause of this is that Windows doesn't accept the '/' character, so you can't create a file using the '/' character, which is why the validation fails. You would have to alter the file name to remove the '/' from the name to an acceptable alternative or consider using an alternative character in their order numbers to avoid this issue in the future.
