Thermal inkjet print head MS-6902 is designed for
use as a printing unit in printers of the series
6312 for displaying alphanumeric and graphic information.
TSPGs come in the following modifications: MS-6902, MS-6902.01,
MS-6902.02, MS-6902.03.In addition to the internal differences between TSPG MS-6902 and the heads of the new

According to the geometric landing dimensions of TSPG MS-6902.01(02.03)
are designed similarly to the heads of the company "HEWLET PACKARD" N 51604A,
51605R(G,B), 51616A, 92261A, which allows the use of
The last ones in 6312 series printers if they have voltage
U=22 V.
TSPG MS-6902, MS-6902.01, MS-6902.02 are designed for working
voltage U=16.2-17.0 V, and MS-6903.03 - for voltage
U=22.2-23.0 V (complete analogue of HP heads).
Currently TSPG MS-6902, MS-6902.01 are out of production
removed due to the release of better modifications.
TSPG MS-6902.01(02.03) consists of a resistive matrix with ca-
measuring plate, body, cover, filler,
filter and mesh filter. Filler with filter and filter
mesh are located inside the body, which is permanently connected
with a lid using an adhesive seam. In the seat
the housing houses the resistive matrix assembly, fixed
naya and sealed with an adhesive joint. Ink is poured-
into the filler.
The formation of sign information occurs due to the choiceremoving microdroplets of ink from the nozzles of the chamber-forming plate
in a certain sequence onto the surface of the paper. Select
spreading of microdroplets of ink occurs due to heating
positive element of the matrix, boiling a portion of ink over it and
formation of excess pressure between the plate and the matrix.
To heat the resistive element, voltage pulses are applied.

░ TSPG FAULTS ░
░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
1. Mechanical damage to the TSPG body or chamber-

ceramic chamber-forming plate when installing TSPG in
carriage and pressing it excessively with the carriage lock.
2. Electrical damage to the resistive elements of the matrix.
This malfunction most often occurs as a result of feeding
on RNE of increased voltage, or due to technical
printer malfunction. The integrity of resistive elements can be
but check by measuring the resistance between the common terminal
buses and outputs of resistive elements.3. Depressurization of adhesive joints. Appears as
cracks in the adhesive joints of the TSPG: cover, chamber-forming
plates, resistive matrix.
4. Clogging of the resistive elements of the TSPG. Manifests in vi-

░ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON TSPG░
░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
The head uses special ink for thermal inknoah print. Using other ink when refilling,
different from those filled at the manufacturer, may
lead to print head failure. Warranty period

equal to 10 months from the month of its manufacture.

░ RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REFILLING ░
░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░
1. Ink intended for refilling must
The chemical composition corresponds to the factory ones. Application
old ink is undesirable. If sediment is detected in the ink
- do not stir, but rather filter, separating the sediment.
(Note: the manufacturer sells ink and reuse
does not refuel TSPG).
2. Refilling is done using a medical syringe
thus piercing the filler through the technological hole,
located in the TSPG cover. TSPG is not allowed when refueling
air bubbles getting inside along with ink.3. The best thing for TSPG is to periodically refill
filling, as used, without waiting for complete production

depending on print density.
4. The mass of the refilled head should be no more
over 15.5 g.
When conducting experiments on re-filling the TSPG
The following factors should be taken into account:
a) it is prohibited to clean the TSPG with alcohol, acetone,
various solvents, etc.
b) long-term use of TSPG with failure to print individual
RNE leads to their burning or burning out. Refueling in

c) with long-term use of TSPG, RHEs lose their quality

d) the use of other inks other than the factory ones, when
refueling TSPG can lead to its failure.
e) refueling old, long-inactive TSPGs containing
ink residues or completely empty may not result in half-
living result.
░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░

Store ink in a tightly closed container in a cool place.
Avoid direct exposure to sunlight when

Refilling should be done with a medical syringe with a diameter of
a fine needle of 0.4-0.6 mm and a volume of no more than 5 cm3.
Refilling process:
Take a syringe, remove the air from the syringe, draw a
of liquid into a syringe no more than 5 cm cube. Air does not get into the syringe

Place the TSPG over the pan, the lid with the filling hole
Let's go up.
Insert the syringe needle into the filling hole and pierce

Gently pressing on the syringe plunger, pump out the ink from

PUMPING FROM THE SYRINGE - STOP FILLING!
After filling, rinse the syringe with running water. Head temperature
Wipe the bridge with a damp and then dry calico napkin.
The head is ready for use.
The second method is slower, more labor-intensive, but better:
Pour ink into the tray.
Lower the thermal jet head with the working surface into the black

- unscrew the two nuts (on the right) securing the controller board

Historically, printer models developed as follows: MS-6312,
MS-6312 (alternative encoding with pseudographics, improvedprint quality, EPSON command system), MS-6312M Radii (with
DIP switches, different controller circuit, almost EPSON
FX-80 without RS-232 and without italics, two graphics standards are implemented
physical modes - EPSON FX-100 and Diconix-150 from KODAK,
large selection of fonts, NLQ).
Replacing the controller board in a printer is quite expensive.
goe. Upgrading the old model MS-6312 to "almost EPSON" MS-6312
with alternative encoding, with pseudo-graphics and improved quality
printing quality comes down to just replacing ROM 2764 with 27128
new program (changed character generator, motion algorithm
carriages and prints) and adjusting the voltage supplied to the printer
chat head.
The following is a description of the modification according to the MS-6312 scheme. Location

What is needed to install a new ROM (separated by commas)
Already existing connections are listed, do not touch them!):
1. Break ties:
K555ID7 (D4) 1---x---23 573RF4 (D6), 40 580VM80 (D3)
K555ID7 (D4) 2---x--- 2 573РФ4 (D6), 37 580ВМ80 (D3)
580VM80 (D3) 38---x---20 573RF4 (D6), 3 K555ID7 (D4)
- only three breaks, instead of 573RF4 set 27128.
2. Make connections:
580VM80 (D3) 39-----2 K555ID7 (D4)
580VM80 (D3) 38-----1 K555ID7 (D4) -----26 27128 (D6)
580VM80 (D3) 36-----3 K555ID7 (D4), 20 27128 (D6)
- only four connections.
After correct modification, the differences between the MS-6312 printer and
MS-6312:
1. The printer has a complete encoding table of 256 sim-
oxen (in MS-6312 -> 162).
2. Changed the shape of some lowercase letters and made them larger
height.
3. The carriage movement algorithm has been improved, as a result of which
the number of failures has decreased, positioning has become more accurate
carriage alignment.
4. The operating algorithm of the print head has been changed, which has led toto a clearer printing of vertical lines while simultaneously
new work of all categories.
