Data correlated to the light reflectance of a maximum toned area and a minimum toned area is recorded to establish standards for monitoring and controlling subsequent copier operation. A test pattern is imaged onto the photoconductor by controlled illumination levels in a series of steps with the detection of light reflectance from that test pattern being subsequently compared to establish the maximum black and maximum white criteria for storage. Light reflected from cleaned photoconductor areas and subsequently established toner patches then are used to compare against the original test pattern reflectance data. Toner replenishment, controls and machine function monitoring (e.g.: white copy background, developer operation, etc.) are based on these recorded standards from the test pattern.
