Help please with Epson V550 Scans

If you use an Epson V550 Scanner, can you help me with settings. I did a whole bunch of scans a few years ago but now I'm confused. I want to scan 35mm color film negatives. I want to be able to print somewhere in the neighborhood of 8x10 (or is it 8x12) at 300 dpi. If someone could please take a screen cap of the appropriate Epson Scan settings box with the right info entered, that would be most helpful.

Thanks

If nobody responds quicker, I'll look at mine tomorrow when I'm near it.

I use a EPSON V550 however I use Paperport as an interface with diff. outlets usually with pics go to photo software eg one of Adobe's programs & print thru them.

Sorry RSORD, you're talking over my head. I need someone to explain exactly how to get a good scan. I know how to deal with the image once there is one. I use LightRoom and Photoshop. Often Paintshop Pro. But first I need a digital image.
