The Slant Tilt Adjustment on the STS XPD-924 ensures that the print head is perfectly aligned and level with the platen for consistent ink laydown and sharp, uniform prints. Over time, vibration or transport can cause minor shifts that affect color registration or nozzle accuracy.

To perform this adjustment, use the printer’s maintenance panel or MSM software to access the alignment controls, then carefully fine-tune the slant and tilt screws while performing a nozzle check between each change. Always work with the printer powered on and in maintenance mode to allow for real-time calibration feedback.

Regularly checking and adjusting slant tilt—especially after relocation or print head service—helps maintain optimal print quality, prevents banding, and prolongs print head life.
