Default Crimping Molex pins

Just received my Molex pin crimper. Now to figure out how to properly crimp the pins. The markings on the crimper are: A, B, C, D, E. The A & B are on one jaw, and C, D, & E on the other. My best guess is to start the crimp with A or B according to the size of the wire/pin, then finish with the appropriate C, D, or E. Suggestions?

Thanks!

Mike
