Z lifing too much when I click run job

Working on my first print. After I calibrated my z axis, I click on run job, everything moves to home position correctly.
Then, my Z lifts up to about 1-2" above my bed. I checked in the slicer config and lift is set to 0.
Any suggestions as to what could cause this?
Thank you.

I think I figured this out. I was trying to print the 5mm calibration cube from Thingiverse.
And I noticed that the Translation Z was set to 10, but it wouldn't let me change it without going below the print bed.
I loaded a different calibration cube and it settled on Z 0 with no problem.
maybe this will help someone else starting out with this.
Thanks.
