My table is out of level on the X-axis by approximately 1/8th of an inch. I don't see anything in the very limited amout of manuals that show how to adjust or compensate to get the table level. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Loosen the gantry mounting screws to have them just snug, press the side frames of the gantry down. Re-check. You may have to equalize by bringing one side up and the other side down. When that's more or less level to the table check that the Z-axis is perpendicular to the table in both planes.
Minor discrepancies are usually taken up by using a sacrifice clamping board (MDF), which you surface with the router.

Han's last comment is the best, level the table by making a complete surface cut.
