That's what I do. When you have a nice stream coming out of the tube, filling the jar, and no tiny air bubbles anywhere, then you just adjust the fork nut, as per the manual, and you're done. Now, once in a blue moon you can get an air pocket in the slave cylinder and you can burp it out by pushing the slave's plunger back in manually with your fingers a couple of times. What will tip you off that that's occurring is if you've apparently bled the system well, but you don't get a lot of plunger travel against the fork when you push the pedal after you've closed off the bleeder.
