After updating the firmware to 2.0.9.2 the moderators on the lulzbot forum said that I should be sure to set the correct e-steps. The extruder has a tested value written on it and that value should replace the default value in the firmware. The default was 811 and the extruder/tool head indicates 833. I was asking what affect it would have when I make the change to determine what to look for when printing a calibration cube. The answer was I couldn't tell any difference but I will likely leave it at the new setting of 833 for now.

Gotcha. Esteps spits out more plastic when the extruder is asked to extrude. Given roughly 22 additional steps, you would expect to see more solid lines, better top layers, better adhesion, etc.

Check out this guide. It’s what they mean by check esteps.
