Folding and booklet making on machine

Wasn't an easy way to explain the title so here it is. I've read some people on here will print a project, trim, ect, and then stick it back in the machine (digital obviously) and have it make the booklet or fold and eat the B&W click cost. Our folder was down today so I tried this. Printed a job 2 up, trimmed, put back in to be folded. Set a blank document to do it and bam, easy as that. Looked at my usage numbers afterwards, and wasn't charged a thing. I'm not sure if xerox did anything special to my machine, or forgot to, but I didn't register a single click through 250 pages. Maybe I got lucky, but those of you with digital machines might want to it keep in mind if your ever in a tight spot and need a job out quick. Might not cost you a thing except time.
 
I have done that quite a bit with pretty good success. I run them on the D95 so we only get charge .0033 per click which is next to nothing on most booklets.
 
Does anyone have experience trying to move the staples in a booklet on a Xerox J75? I have a similar project to what AP90 says, except the booklet is 3.5 x 5" when folded from 5 x 7", so the staples need to be about 2" away from each other.
 
I've done that also. Back when my booklet maker was a Xerox Workcentre 7775 I had a job for 32# linen books. That machine couldn't print on the heavier textured stock worth a darn so I printed on another machine and ran it back through the 7775 for fold and stitch. I was pretty proud of myself at the time :-D

I may have been charged for the B&W clicks (don't recall), but the job got out on time an everyone was happy!
