OPERATION
This section discusses basic o eration of the XF 1R2 , such as ower, status indicators, charging and
changing a er. Readers of this document should be familiar with their mobile device and Android
a lication, and how they interact with the XF 1R2 .
Power
The mobile device draws ower from its internal battery when not su lied with ower from the XF 1R2 .
The XF 1R2 contains a removable lithium ion battery that su lies ower to its electronics, and
connected eri herals (such as the rinter). It also su lements ower to the mobile device. You can
“hot-swa ” the removable battery with another to extend the o erating time of the system indefinitely
without interru tion.
The XF 1R2 electronics consists of the rinter's ower and control system, and a Power Management
System (PMS). The PMS controls the routing and utilization of ower within the XF 1R2 , and determines
when ower from a charging source can recharge one or both batteries. It also determines when to
transfer ower from the su lemental battery to the mobile device to recharge or su ort its battery.
The battery status and charge indicators along with the battery status icon on the enclosed mobile
device rovide the user with the status of ower system.
It is always a good idea to kee the unit in XF DOCK when it is not in use to assure that both batteries
are fully charged and you will be able to realize the maximum o erating time from the unit.
Power On
To turn the device on, ress and hold the Power button until the device begins to boot. Once the boot
rocess begins, release the Power button and wait for the boot rocess to com lete.
Power Off
To turn the device off, ress and hold the Power button until the device dis lays its ower o tions, then
select Power Off. When the unit turns off, it disconnects all wireless connections and terminates all
rocessing. Under this condition, the su lemental battery continues to su ly ower to the mobile
device’s battery.
Suspend
To sus end your mobile device, briefly ress and release the Power button. The screen then turns off
and enters a low ower consum tion state. While sus ended, the device maintains wireless connections
and erforms background rocessing.
Resume
To can resume a sus ended mobile device, briefly ress and release the Power button.

XF1R2 Integration & User Guide

Volume Buttons
The XF 1R2 extends the volume control buttons of the mobile device to the outside of the enclosure. Use
these buttons to raise or lower the audio volume. Additionally, an a lication can utilize these buttons
to erform other functions, such as triggering the bar code scanner.
LED Indicators
This section describes the three LED indicators found on the front of the XF 1R2 . One indicates the
charging state, the second indicates the battery status, and the third, configurable through an Android
a that uses the XF SDK, is multi- ur ose. For exam le, it can indicate a rint error or a successful scan.
Charge Indicator
The charge indicator dis lays the charging state of the XF 1R2 su lemental battery that su lies owers
the XF 1R2 electronics and connected eri herals. It does not indicate the charge status for the battery
contained within the mobile device.
State Description
Flashing Green Indicates the battery is charging. There are two different indications that rovide
feedback on the charge status. The LED will flash at a 50% duty cycle to indicate
that the battery is charging. When the battery attains a charge of a roximately
85% of its ca acity, the LED will flash at 75% duty cycle
Solid Green Indicates the battery charge cycle is com lete. The battery charge cycle ty ically
requires three to four hours.
Batter Status Indicator
The battery status indicator rovides an estimate of the level of charge remaining in the su lemental
("hot swa ") battery. This battery owers the XF 1R2 rinter, enclosure electronics and su lements the
mobile device’s ower. It does not indicate the level of charge remaining in the mobile device battery.
State Description
Solid Green When discharging, battery ca acity is greater than 55%.
When charging, battery ca acity is greater than 85%.
Flashing Green The su lemental battery is transferring ower to the mobile device’s internal
battery.
Solid Amber When discharging, battery ca acity is between 55% and 16%.
When charging, battery ca acity is between 26% and 84%.
Solid Red When discharging, battery ca acity is between 15% and 0%. Since no ower
transfer can occur in this state, it cannot roduce the required eak current to
o erate the rinter. You should recharge the su lemental battery or re lace it
with a fresh battery.
When charging, battery ca acity is between 1% and 25%

Operation
19
State Description
Off The battery has com letely de leted or been removed. In this state, the unit
cannot rint, scan, read cards or rovide su lemental ower to the mobile
device.
Note: When charging the device and both the Charge and Battery LEDs are red, either the su lemental
battery is not resent, or the gas gauge for the mobile device’s battery is not available.
Fig re 2-1: S pplemental Battery Capacity
User Defined Indicator
This seven-color multi- ur ose LED is configurable through an Android a that uses the XF SDK. For
exam le, it can indicate a rint error or a successful scan.
C arging
You can recharge the XF 1R2 through its USB connection or by lacing it in the XF DOCK. The mobile
device and the su lemental battery charge inde endently but at the same time. A com lete charge
requires u to four hours.
An icon at the to of the mobile device’s dis lay (ty ical a battery with a lightning bolt) indicates that
the mobile device’s battery is charging. The charge Indicator on front of the XF 1R2 indicates that the
su lemental battery is charging.
The XF 1R2 can advantage of mobile devices with Fast Charge 9V ca ability to maximize the amount of
ower transferred during any allowable eriod.
Notes: Partially discharged batteries or leaving the charger connected for extended eriods will not
adversely affect battery life or erformance. However for o timum battery erformance, you should
occasionally discharge both batteries to a low ercentage.
C anging t e Battery
You can “hot swa ” (re lace) the su lemental battery at any time without interru ting running
a lications, rocessing or wireless connections. If you re lace the su lemental battery with a fully
charged battery before the mobile device’s battery de letes, the XF 1R2 can run indefinitely.
Note: The rinter will not function if you remove the su lemental battery. The rinter will become
functional again when you re lace the battery.

Power Management
The fundamental o erating scheme of some mobile devices may im ose a limitation whereby the device
will not allow “Host Mode” USB communications to occur while the unit is being charged. To circumvent
this limitation, the Power Management System (PMS) in the XF 1R2 rovides the following o tions
o timize ower consum tion for a variety of use cases to tailor the way ower transfers from the
su lemental battery to the mobile device battery.
You can:
• Configure ower transfer settings to schedule ower transfers to eliminate ower transfers at
inconvenient times.
• Configure the amount of time a ower transfer occurs during eriods of detected inactivity.
• Select o tions to o timize load-leveling use, or maintain a settable amount of reserve ower in
the mobile device.
• Select o tions to terminate ower transfer, including orientation sensor.
The XF 1R2 incor orates changes within the USB subsystem that allow the ower down of additional
circuits when various eri herals shut down.
The charging circuit for the su lemental battery now su orts the detection and charging of future,
higher ca acity battery acks.
During charging, the XF 1R2 can connect to a deskto com uter, as the XF 1R2 assumes the “Client” role in
this scenario, but cannot rint or access other internal eri herals, such as the barcode scanner (if
equi ed).
USB Port
The XF 1R2 rovides an OTG micro USB connector that su orts both client and host mode o eration.
When connected to a client device, such as a storage device, the XF 1R2 acts as a host. The o erating
system mounts the USB storage device and it becomes accessible for reading and storing files.
When connected as a client to a host PC, the XF 1R2 becomes accessible to the host as a USB storage
device or camera. In this mode, the rinter is disabled.
