A stepper will draw whatever the stepper driver is set to.
The usual recommendation is set the current to the lower option, and see how hot the steppers get. If the remain cool to touch after being run for a while (1hr+), you may want to try the higher option, but monitor the motor temperature closely. Steppers should never get any hotter than what you can comfortably hold with your hand.
