title: PyUSB Stop Dymo scales from shutting down automatically
body: <p>I am using a Dymo USB scale with PyUSB and everything is really great apart from the scale's automatic shutdown after three minutes. I would like to keep it running as long as my python program is running. Is there any way to do this using python?</p>
  
  <p>I am new to PyUSB and have followed this tutorial successfully so far: <a href="http://steventsnyder.com/reading-a-dymo-usb-scale-using-python/" rel="nofollow">http://steventsnyder.com/reading-a-dymo-usb-scale-using-python/</a>.</p>
  
  <p>The auto shutdown can be disabled manually as said here:

  but this must be performed every single time which is a problem.</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks in advance for any suggestions!</p>
