How do I Brand This Computer?

You must be at the console (sitting at) the computer you wish to brand.

Decide what terminal code you would like to use to Brand the computer you are currently sitting at and use the Navigation Toolbar to make that Terminal's Code active.

The Terminal Code changes when you click the Next or Previous icons.

When you click Brand This Computer the message next to the button changes to

"Computer branded as...".

Re-branding...

You can re-brand your computer at any time. This is sometimes done when computers are being replaced or stores are being rearranged. You can retire REG01 and brand a new machine as REG01, you can even change REG01 to REG02 and REG02 to REG01, just do not have two computers with the same brand at the same time.

Instead of REG01, REG02, etc. you may decide one day to changed the brands to East and West. This is fine. The brand should identify the computer to you and to Acme.
