There are *two* z-offsets you need to set:

- the probe's z-offset and
- the z-offset in relation to the z-endstop, which is the z-offset you already know from setting at the the stock firmware and which comes into account when printing the initial layer.
- the probe's z-offset (distance of the probe to the PEI plate) and
- the z-offset in relation to the z-endstop, which is the z-offset you already know from setting at the the stock firmware and **which comes into account when printing the initial layer**.

For doing so, you have to execute two different commands while you're proceeding the [configuration checks](https://www.klipper3d.org/Config_checks.html):

#### Endstop's Z-Offset
With [`Z_ENDSTOP_CALIBRATE` you set the z-offset of the nozzle to the bed in relation to the endstop](https://www.klipper3d.org/Manual_Level.html#calibrating-a-z-endstop), which is the one that comes into account when starting a print.

It tells your Klipper which distance needs to be between the nozzle and triggering the endstop for printing the initial layer.

***This*** **z-offset is the one which comes into account when printing the initial layer** - you know this one from using the stock firmware and setting the z-offset there.

??? warning "Wait For The Printhead Being Moved"

When executing the abovementioned commands, you need to move the *probe* to the center of the bed by typing in the specific X and Y coordinates. As an example, I have to move my head to X=72.5 and Y=106 for having the *probe* right above the center of the bed.

**BUT - and this is CRUCIAL! - the head will start to slowly move sidewards in this moment to position the nozzle right above the point where the probe has been located!** ***You need to WAIT for this movement to be done!*** **So inspect the head and wait until it doesn't move anymore before adjusting the actual height!**

*Once done, click on "ACCEPT" - and just to be on the safe side, send a `SAVE_CONFIG` command as well.*

!!! warning "Attention When Adjusting The Z-Offset On The Fly"

*If you adjust your z-offset on the fly while printing your ***initial layer***, you need to save that value to the ***endstop*** (not to the probe!) for having it applied the next times.*
