The Z axis will slowly drop down until it makes contact with the puck, and then retract a short distance. Note that the distance that it retracts can be adjusted, but the default is 1.27mm. | The Z axis will slowly drop down until it makes contact with the puck, and then retract a short distance.

The Z axis should now have automatically been set to your work surface. All G-Code references should now use this height as | The Z axis should now have automatically been set to your work surface.
