Hi Luke

Heres a trick that works in 1.2.x releases I assume it will still work in
2.0.0.
When ur finished with a borrower, try just hitting the return key (on the
keyboard)
That should automatically start a new borrower.

If this works for you, it might negate the need to have the barcode signally
next borrower.
(Essentially a blank barcode signals next borrower to koha as it is)
