A circuit that prevents optical scanning systems (200) from being pinned in an inoperative state under certain light conditions is disclosed. The invention accomplishes this by a circuit comprising a photodetector (214) for converting scattered light from a visual code (e.g., universal product code) into current, and a current limiting circuit (218) coupled to the photodetector for limiting the current capable of passing through the photodetector. <IMAGE> |
