Auto Mode

1. Auto mode can be initiated from either a command line in a batch file or a command line in the startup configuration file.  The format is as follows:

  A.  Batch File.    
	hmutility scriptFileName.txt

  B   Startup Configuration file:    
	Additions to startUp.ini:
	[OTHER]
	AUTOMODE= scriptfileName.txt
	[Communication]
	USB= PRINTER CLASS, ON
	
	Please Note:
	The desired communication must be set to on (enabled)
	the ' (apostrophe) designates a comment line in the StartUp.ini

2. Auto mode processes three file types:

  A.   BIN.  Flash files
  B.   PBT.  Boot file
  C.   TXT.  text files

No other file types are supported but txt file processing should allow all standard commands.  Avoid any command that requires resetting the printer.

3. Sample text file to download both flash and boot.
       
' Script to download new boot and flash
' Rev 01.  07/21/08
'
[UTILITY] SETU RHEX
[BOOT] a60BV122.pbt
[DELAY] 120
[FLASH] a60FV163.bin
[DELAY] 3

Notes. 

1.  Either flash or boot can be downloaded first.  There should be a 12 second delay between commands to allow the printer to reset.  The delay after the 2nd download should be no more than 3 seconds and there should be no processing after
that command.  Auto mode should exit before the printer resets.

2.  If both startup and a bath file define auto mode the batch file definition is used.

3.  The file path specification rules used in hmutility also apply to auto mode file path specification.
