I'd guess that it's in the var file that is being read at startup. Could be a g92 or one of the coordinate offset systems. The var file contents are described in the user handbook in the coordinate systems chapter. I don't remember much about it but the AXIS interface system can also be setup to remember last position between runs for those who don't have home switches. I wouldn't think this would be the case but others would have to figure that out.
