Optical resolution 4800 or 6400 for slideholder?

[NaturalEnquirer]

I want to scan mounted slides (using slideholder) at maximum optical resolution for V750. F5 key does say hardware resolution is 6400, but was wondering if I should set output to 4800 since I am using slideholder? I think Epson only uses 6400 lens for postives directly on scanner or is that just Epson software?

Also, saw on forum that someone advised changing Q factor to 1 instead of 1.5 if printing to an inkjet printer (I have Epson 2200.) Is that advice right or wrong?

Thanks.

Well, if you want to scan with the maximum optical resolution then you should pick 6400 in transparency mode. If you change to "transparency whole area" you can only use 4800 and the focusing point will be directly on the glass surface.
