FIPS Mode
Parameter # F1h, E0h
The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 is a U.S. government computer security standard used
to accredit cryptographic modules. FIPS enabled MT20X0 scanners and cradles offer this secure mode of
operation.
To enable FIPS mode of operation (disabled by default), scan Enable FIPS Mode at any time. The scanner
attempts to establish a secure session with the cradle to which it is connected. On success, the scanner lights a
yellow LED on every trigger pull to signal that all data is transmitted over Bluetooth in a secure fashion. On failure,
the scanner sounds an audible transmission failure error message on every attempt to transmit data.
DPM Scanning (MT2070-DP only)
Parameter # F1h, 09h
Unlike bar codes that are typically printed on labels, a direct part mark (DPM) is a symbol that is marked directly on
an item’s surface for permanent identification. These symbols are marked using methods such as laser etching
and dot peening (see Figure 3-5 on page 3-6 for an example of a dot peen symbol). The MT2070-DP (DPM) reader
scans these types of symbols. DPM scanning is enabled by default. If you disabled DPM scanning, scan

NOTE When the MT2070-DP is DPM enabled, the scanner reads all symbols including DPM, 1D, PDF417, etc. If
you do not require DPM reading, scan Disable DPM Scanning to ensure optimum scanner performance.
If you enable DPM Scanning, disable Picklist Mode on page 5-16 when scanning a DPM bar code.
Picklist performance is not guaranteed for DPM bar codes.
