Abstract of the Disclosure An automatic background brightness control for document copiers of the type using automatic feeders for advancing original documents along a transport path to an imaging platen at which the documents are copied. As the feeder advances n document to the imaging platen, one or more light sources disposed at spaced locations across the transport path direct scanning beams onto the indicia-bearing side of the document. Photodetectors sense the light reflected from the scanned portions of the document to provide signals indicating the reflectance of the scanned portions, A signal- processing circuit responsive to the reflectance signals generates a background brightness control signal representing the maximum reflectance sensed by any of the detectors. The background brightness control signals regulates the intensity of the exposure lamp of the copier when the document reaches the imaging platen. In one alternative embodiment, the background brightness control signal regulates the width of an optical slit disposed adjacent to the photosensitive surface. In another alternative embodiment, the background brightness control signal regulates the effective aperture of the focusing lens.
