If you are using the Advanced Box, the Advanced Box of another machine on the network, or memory media, the setting for [Adjust] for <Background Density> is invalid when all of the conditions below are met. The setting is reflected in the image displayed for [Display Image], but not for the actual scanned image.

The resolution is set to 100 x 100 dpi, 150 x 150 dpi, or 200 x 100 dpi.
