I would not set it higher than 16 microsteps. 2 microsteps is 1/2 step, 4 microsteps is 1/4 etc.

Steppers take 200 steps to go one time around, when you use microstepping in a drive you multiply the full steps by micro steps to get the number of steps it takes to go one user unit. Say it takes 3 revolutions to move an axis 1" and your microsteps is set to 50 (which is way too much) then your scale for that axis is 200 x 3 x 50 = 30,000 step pulses to move 1". In the Stepconf Wizard you can play with the combinations and see the result.

this page is the set up directions for my KL5056 driver, currently the drivers are set for 1/4 micro stepping, and according to this the motor steps per revolution should be set at 800, is this correct. any input

you don't say what machine your fitting out , however i would leave it at 1/4 step as you have it ( 800 steps per rev )
also beware the higher the microstepping the less torque you will have , a lot of people think microstepping is for resolution
it is not , it is mostly for overcoming resonance , fine for use on small motors such as used on 3d printers for resolution , but for any serious work , keep the microstepping to 1/2 ( 400 ) or 1/4 (800) , is more than ample for all jobs .
