Zcalibrate
This panel supports various modes of operation to assist in the calibration of the Z axis of the machine. It's strongly suggested to read Klipper documentation about Bed level
Buttons
- "Start" will initiate the only method available, or ask the user if multiple methods are available.
!!! note
KlipperScreen will automatically Home(
G28) if needed - The raise(+) and lower(-) buttons send
TESTZ Z=distancewhere distance is selected in the bottom row. - Accept will send
ACCEPT - Abort will send

Calibration methods
Probe (PROBE_CALIBRATE)
Available when a probe is defined. (BL-Touch is a probe)
KlipperScreen will try to position the probe in the correct place before sendind a PROBE_CALIBRATE
??? info "Search order to select location"
1. `calibrate_x_position` and `calibrate_y_position` in [KlipperScreen.conf](https://klipperscreen.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Configuration/#printer-options)
Both need to be configured, probe offsets are not applied. This is considered an override
2. Probe at the [zero reference position of the mesh](https://www.klipper3d.org/Bed_Mesh.html#configuring-the-zero-reference-position)
3. If `[safe_z_home]` is defined, those values are used. Unless `Z_ENDSTOP_CALIBRATE` is available.
In other words, only use `[safe_z_home]` if `z_virtual_endstop` is used
4. If the kinematics are `delta` probe is placed at 0, 0
5. Probe at the center of the `bed_mesh`
6. Probe at the center of the axes (`position_max` / 2)

Endstop (Z_ENDSTOP_CALIBRATE)
Available when a physical endstop is defined for [stepper_z]
Klipper documentation: Calibrating a Z endstop
Bed mesh (BED_MESH_CALIBRATE)
Available when a probe is not defined and [bed_mesh] is defined
this mode lets you create a mesh leveling bed using the paper test in various points.
!!! warning DO NOT adjust the bed screws while using this mode.
Adjust the screws using the [bed screws](Screws.md) panel before running this tool.
Delta Automatic/Manual (DELTA_CALIBRATE)
Available when the kinematics are defined as delta.
