Sorry for the question above, but I think I'm OK now. I just noticed that there are Basic and an Advanced selection buttons on the Home page. I was on Basic. When I switched to Advanced, I found the selection for checking uniformity and can now follow along with your instructions.

My i1 Pro app has screens that differ from the ones you show. The first screen I get after selecting Display Profiling on home page looks like this:
If I hover over any element in the Display Settings panel (e.g. White Point, Luminance , or Gamma), so comments on suggested settings show up in the Help panel. Not sure what to do here for these settings.

In your instructions, you list color settings of Warm, Normal and Cool.
The first monitor I'm calibrating (a Dell) has color settings of Warm, Standard, Comfort View and Cool. Should I ignore Comfort View and use Standard in place of Normal?

I have my prints.

Have just ordered some prints (from mPix). Will take about a week to get.

Dell PremierColor was enabled. I've disabled it and am ready to start a recalibration. I have these display settings:
White Point: CIE Illuminant D65
Luminance: 80 cd/m2
Gamma Tone Response Curve: sRGB (I previously used Standard, with Gamma set to2.2)
Are these OK? What do you suggest for "Adjust for ambient light"?
Thanks.

First of all, I have a general problem in that I have two monitors that display colors differently, even after calibrating them both with the x-rite i1 pro. Monitor #1 is an integral part of my Dell Inspiron 5720 computer, and monitor #2 is a stand-alone Dell monitor. Both monitors are 27" (not sure that matters much), with maximum resolutions of 3840x2160 (monitor #1) and 1920x1080 (monitor #2). Here is how a particular photo appears on each of the monitors
Monitor #1
Monitor #2
As for printing, I have only used my in-home Epson ink-jet printer. Its color rendition is much closer to that of monitor #2, but with a somewhat darker overall appearance. I took a photo of the print in a well-lit room to give you an idea of the comparison.
I am printing on matte photo paper rather than glossy - not sure how much difference that makes.

I think I've answered my own question. I can re-open the image in Camera Raw and then use "toggle to default settings"

When I open an as-shot RAW image in Bridge, then edit it in Camera Raw, then return to Bridge, what I see is the edited image with some notation in the top right corner that (I think) is an indication that the image has been edited. See following example:
How can I find and view the original unedited image?

I see the instruction now to switch to Advanced.
I found the "warm" color setting on my monitor to give closest to 6500K (actually ranged from 6526-6769K). Process seemed to go smoothly, but not too sure of the end result - the "achieved" white point was 7442K. Maybe I did something wrong and should try again. The curves looked good in that there was no separation.
