+# prusatool-rs
+
+`prusatool-rs` is a simple utility to print `.bgcode` files from the command line. 
+
+# Usage
+## Loading
+`prusatool --printer-config <CONFIG_FILE> load <.bgcode FILE> --print-immediately`
+
+The optional `--print-immediately` flag tells the printer to start printing the file immediately. 
+
+## Running
+If `--print-immediately` wasn't used, or you'd like to print a file that already exists on the printer's filesystem, you can print a file by using the `print` command, with the file's UUID:
+
+`prusatool --printer-config ~/printer_config_template.toml print <FILE UUID>`
