Problem of C25 risograph cr 1610

My Risograph RZ990 master gets wrinkles at the end of the drum.
If your Risograph RZ990 master is getting wrinkles at the end on the drum, it can be a common issue with Risograph machines that may be caused by several factors. Here are some steps to help diagnose and potentially resolve the problem:
1. Master Roll Condition: Inspect the condition of the master roll itself. Wrinkles can occur if the master roll is damaged or has uneven tension. Ensure that the roll is loaded correctly and that it is not excessively loose or tight.
2. Master Roll Alignment: Make sure the master roll is properly aligned with the machine's drum. An improper alignment can lead to wrinkles during the printing process.
3. Drum Cleaning: Check the drum for any dirt, toner residue, or debris. A dirty drum can cause irregularities in the master's transfer, leading to wrinkles. Clean the drum gently with a lint-free cloth or an appropriate cleaning solution recommended by the manufacturer.
4. Drum Condition: Examine the condition of the drum itself. If the drum is scratched, worn, or damaged, it can affect the master's transfer quality. In such cases, the drum may need to be replaced or professionally serviced.
5. Master Roll Tension: Ensure that the tension of the master roll is correctly adjusted according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Incorrect tension can lead to wrinkles in the master.
6. Master Roll Quality: Check the quality of the master roll itself. If it's old or damaged, it may not feed smoothly, resulting in wrinkles. Consider replacing the master roll with a new one.
7. Temperature and Humidity: Environmental factors such as temperature and humidity can impact the performance of the master roll and the printing process. Ensure that the operating conditions are within the recommended range specified by the manufacturer.
8. Printer Settings: Verify that the printer settings, such as speed and pressure, are correctly configured for the type of master and paper you are using. Incorrect settings can lead to issues like wrinkles.
9. Maintenance Schedule: Follow the recommended maintenance schedule for your Risograph machine. Regular cleaning and maintenance can prevent issues like wrinkles and prolong the life of the equipment.
10. Professional Service: If the issue persists despite your efforts, it may be necessary to contact a professional technician who specializes in Risograph machines. They can diagnose and repair more complex issues and ensure that your machine operates smoothly.
Addressing wrinkles in the master of a Risograph RZ990 machine often involves a combination of proper maintenance, correct settings, and occasionally replacing damaged components. It's essential to follow the manufacturer's guidelines and consider seeking professional assistance if needed to resolve the issue effectively.

The C25 stores toner in a waste toner container. On the front of that container there is rectangular clear window that fits into a sensor when installed into machine. The sensor passes a beam of light through that window. When the bottle is full there is toner inside that clear plastic window which stops the light from making it through the window and the machine will tell you the waste toner is full. Just dumping the container out will not clear that window and by putting it back in the machine you will get the same toner full message. If you are going to try to reuse that container you will have remove the black plastic cover that is glued to the container above the clear plastic. Then use something like a Qtip to clean all the toner off of that clear window(much easier and faster to just replace in with a new container). if you still get the waste toner full message after you install it then remove it and wipe off the sensor that the clear window sits in. This will clear the message and you can continue your copy job.
