You can use any name, but for compatibility with the HP-41C the name length must be at least 7 characters. That is a HP-41C will not be able to FINDID a device with an ID$ shorter than 7 characters.

The printer device of ILPer has an ID$="DISPLAY" although it has a AID class of a printer (this ID$ comes from my Emu41/Emu71 emulations where it was a true display emulation) .
For the reason Christoph explained, the HP-71B command PRINTER IS DISPLAY doesn't work ("Device Not Found"). But PRINTER IS PRINTER, or DISPLAY IS PRINTER works!
