Default wheel alignment

i just got new tires in and a alignment with it. when i left i noticed that when i hold the steering wheel straight it fades to the left a little. i got warranty on my alignment. i'm planning to bring it back to get it fix. i found alignment spec on spec not sure which one i should follow for my 92 sc300. should i follow these specs? or let the tech do it?
i'm looking at the print out of my alignment they didn't have ne thing for the front caster and doesn't show a thing for the king pin degree that they talk about on the website??

since i don't have access to a scanner i'll type out my results

left front 0.1 camber right front -0.0
left ront 0.09 toe right ront -0.00

Front

cross camber 0.1
total toe 0.09

left rear -1.4 camber right rear -1.5
left rear 0.18 toe right rear 0.14

Rear

total toe 0.32
thrust angle 0.02

i think alignment shops on the alignment machines they have the specs on the computer. They will adjust to bring it back to factory settings. I say leave it to the techs... best bet is to go with Hunter wheel alignment machines. They are supposed to be the best. Other than that i found sears do a good job with wheel alignment.
