I'm a little confused why it's not just easier to sit in front of a tuner and play the instrument and look for any out of tune notes. It's a good idea to do this anyway as it will tell you which notes have a tendency to be out of tune so you can compensate accordingly. Even if someone else has the same instrument there is no guarantee it is set up the same way with the same pad openings. On my Yamaha Advantage (same design as the 250) I have to use a 67mm barrel to play in tune, but apparently this is uncommon. With the stock barrel I have to pull out quite a bit, to the point where it creates problems. However other people don't have problems with the stock barrel which goes to show that each player/instrument is different.
If you don't already have a tuner you can get a tuner app on your phone. I found this super useful for checking my intonation. If you want to be super detailed you can even make an Excel sheet detailing how in tune every note is, although for a casual player this might be overkill.
