If static doesn't work and grayscale doesn't work, then it probably won't scan.
There are some things that just don't scan well. If you try Optimize, see if
having it check the resolution as well as the options mentioned above help any.
You can leave the 300 dpi alone as long as you're pretty sure the print is
normal size. Check the different kinds of threshholding to see which one
optimize picks. If you're not sure if it's the book, try a more typical book
so you can see how things work. Hope this helps.

I was referring to I was asking about the kurzweil 1000
I was trying to scan a book and I am visually impaired and the background is
green and it is having trouble recognizing the text so I was wondering if
anybody had any ideas on how to get this way to recognize the text properly

given that you do not need something that is accessible with a screen
reader, have you considered the package OCR for Linux? It offers a
Linux command line interface using the FineReader OCR engine. A free
trial is offered.
