General introduction
3605
A memory card is a plastic card, the size of a credit card, with an
electronic memory chip inside it. This memory card is capable of
storing 10 to 15 wash programs of normal size. If the programs are
mostly small ones, more of them can be stored, whereas larger
programs will reduce the number which can be held by the memory
card. Memory cards of this type can be used to:
• transferwashprogramsfromonemachinetoanother
• runwashprogramsstraightfromthememorycard
• transferwashprogramsfromaPCtoamemorycardandfrom
a memory card to a PC (these procedures, and how to write a
wash program on a PC, are described in the manual for "Wash
Program Manager" (WPM)).
A program stored on a memory card may be given restricted-use
status. This means that:
• Theprogramcannotbedeletedorcopiedtotheprogramcon-
trol unit of a machine.
• Youcannotaltertheprogramorinspectthewayitiswritten.
• Toruntheprogramyouhavetohavethememorycardandto

Note that "memory card" also can be called "smart card" or
"SMC".
