Background this value will be substituted in the grayscale (pre-thresholded) image for the color being removed. Therefore, this value should be higher than the threshold value selected on the Imaging tab for this pixel to become the background color. For example, if you are scanning a white document with a green form and you have selected a bi-tonal threshold value of 127, you should pick an electronic color drop-out background value greater than 127 so the substituted pixel will be white in the dropped-out image.
For iThresholding, the scanner will automatically determine the value for this. If the value the scanner determined is lower than the one you entered, that value will be used. Therefore, if using iThresholding, it is suggested that you leave the value at the default.
