X - left
Y - back. (assuming you have a standard reprap design with a moving bed. The head homes to the front of the bed)
Z - bottom.

Next time be a little more specific though. We dont even know what machine you're building.

it's actually configurable in firmware. I recommend you to learn how to configure and flash one if you dunno yet. (you probably need to tune step per mm anyway)
