Grayscale and 400 dpi might be your best bet.
And it depends on how dark the red is, as opposed to how dark the text is.
It can be very problematic.
I have been able to get black text on yellow, green, light green, darker
green, darker blue, blue, sky blue, orange, and pink to scan.
I couldn't get it to recognize on dark blue, the color of a night sky, but
was able to get it on a stormy sky which was a bit lighter.
Hit and or miss. Luckily dust jackets aren't required, but it is nice when
one scans nice for you.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] scanning black text on a red background
Hi gang,
I'm trying to scann a book who's inside cover is black type on a red
backgroound. I've tried a lot of different settings but haven't been able
to get it to reade. I am using k1000 version 9, and an Epson scanner 1640
I believe it is. I'm also using windoweyes but I doubt if that enters into
the problem. Any ideas, is a red page bad news to the scanner or
what? White on black I can do fairly well, but black on red seems to throw
me. Thanks.
