EPSON V800/850 LED LIGHT SOURCE (slightly higher dMax) set the scanner to professional mode
EPSON V700/750 Cold cathode fluorescent light source
Epsonscan is the same for V500, V550, V600, V700, V800.
I run the first and 4th of these.
First off set the software to Professional Mode

click on the No Color Correction, close the box, and scan the negative, edit in post processing for the best looking image.
The histogram adjustments will be negated if the Continuous Auto Exposure is not deselected with Color Control selected.

Information in the negative will be the vertical rise above the base line.
The White triangle is the highlights, the black one the blacks, the grey one the gamma or mid tones.
Set each the black and white to the point where the information for the darkest black and brightest white start to rise above the baseline, then slide the grey one to give the desired mid tones, toward white darkens, toward black lightens, very slight movement is needed or necessary.

are going to be doing a very large number of images you might consider a Vuescan license, if only because it can be rigged up for one-button scanning to help with workflows. Unfortunately it's got a learning curve that makes Epson Scan look positively easy. And it looks like you're already behind on understanding of scanning jargon. But if you are going to find yourself scanning some gigantic archive building a workflow might be worth learning.
