I'm running a Ricoh 9100 and have a perfect bound book job coming up that calls for a slip sheet between each set. I know if I use a paper different than what the pages are on it will adjust fuser temperature even though the slip sheet is blank. To try to get around this I made the slip sheet identical to the paper the sheets are on. In this case it's 70# gloss text, so I duplicated that definition, renamed it 70# slipsheet and tried it. The actual slip sheet is a canary 50# text. It's definitely quicker this way than telling the press that the slip sheet is a different sheet than the pages, but it's still a lot slower than just manually inserting this slip sheet. The way I set up the slip sheet is by going to the "finishing" tab and enabling pad printing. Then I check the box where it says add pad back cover, and then I force it to the drawer I have the slip sheet paper in. Anybody come up with a better way to do this without the press losing so much time switching drawers? I thought about just adding another spread to this file and just printing it right with the file. If I understand the click charge, anything that goes through the fuser is a click, weather it's blank or not. Thanks.

Not sure how you do your workflow, but we 2 up if it's a letter size book and then split the stack on the cutter. In this case you could print a slip sheet with solid coverage. You should be able to get it to register as a 1 click for billing. You probably pay less for b/w if it really has that much impact.

Mixed media has always been a struggle for Ricoh. If everything matches in the paper catalog you shouldn't see much of a slowdown. Make sure to check the fuser temp setting for the paper. The best mixed media I've seen is on our xerox versant. You can mix anything together with no slowdown at all. Other than that I prefer our Ricohs for most things.

Thanks everyone for the responses, got some new things to think about and check out. Since I duplicated the paper definition I just assumed all of the advanced settings but now I want to see if fuser temp settings are the same. Let's forget about it for 2 days (if only it were that easy!) and enjoy the holiday weekend.Tom M Ricoh ProC9100

I put my canary 20 slip sheet paper in tray 4 and loaded tray 1 and 2 with the 70# gloss text. I set it up as a pad job in "finshing" forcing it to pull the slip sheet from tray#4 and it works pretty well. No hesitation at all to apply the slip sheet and about a 4-5 second delay while it switches back to the 70# gloss text.Warning I am a Ricoh tech.

If you insert blank after last page using the exact same paper settings there should be no noticeable slowdown at all as gregbatch mentioned above. I only want to hang myself when truly running mixed media on the 9100, its like watching paint dry
