Checking out with no barcode opens a print dialog
Gentle Reader, We have noticed a strange behaviour in Koha 17.05 and 17.11 when checking books out. If you select a patron, then click "Check out" without entering an item barcode, a new window opens with a printer dialog to print a list of the books checked out. Is this considered a feature or a bug? It certainly took us by surprise! Best Regards, Chris Brown

It has definite logic. Everything in the world is not an academic library. ;-)
From the 3.14 release manager's update #2 :
Bug 7494: optional checkout-time fallback search for a book. This enhancement adds an option to perform a keyword search to look up an item during checkout if it is not found by barcode. This means that Koha will no longer require item barcodes for circulation to work — a feature that hopefully will be of use for special collections. hope this helps.

Hi Chris, this is a shortcut for faster slip printing - pressing enter after checkouts will bring up the slip print dialog. Take a look at the CircAutoPrintQuickSlip system preference in order to change the behaviour. Hope this helps, Katrin On 07.01.2018 08:58, Chris Brown wrote:
