The Book says to adjust idle screw to within specs, then adjust mixture screw to highest RPM. Back off the idle screw if the idle is above specs, then repeat the "highest RPM mixture screw" procedure.
Repeat this until your mixture screw adjustment results in the correct RPM spec.
Note: I have paraphrased the wording of The Book for ease of understanding (for me anyway).
