brake bleeding help - (but I bought a Power Bleeder!) 700

I did read the FAQ but here is my situation in particular: I installed a new caliper on the LF and most of the brake fluid leaked out (into a bottle) in the time it took me to install the new caliper.

So, since I'm now missing nearly half of the fluid in the reservoir, do I go about the usual sequence of bleeding or do I do the LF caliper first after refilling the reservoir. And, how should I refill the reservoir?

And, since life is just too short, I popped for the $50 and bought a Power Bleeder. It will get plenty of use (hopefully).

Thanks.
