get some scrap and practice setting the machine or as someone said use the autotune (myself I probably wouldn't like what the machine came up with) set your voltage and adjust the wire speed to suit.
remember three things
1. travel speed of the gun
2. speed of the wire
3. voltage setting on the machine.
Most people make welding out to be one of the dark secrets, but its actually just some techniques,
and what works for one person may not work for you.

DA,
Thanks for the advise. From what I've read on the net, the Miller "autotune" works very well. Even pro welders that have tried it say it works surprisingly well.
