When you release the bed screws to level it, you'll notice that the bed will swivel not only left/right/forward /back but also up/down. That's on the Z axis. If you watch the bed as it's homing you'll see it touch down and stop but the housing (where the screws are, don't know it's official name) continues down then up again. This action allows you to install a flex plate without having to install washers or Z-axis adjusters like with the Mars series printers. They had no no Z movement, or so I've read on other sites.
