    Question

    * Currently the loan receipt is printed on a small docket printer at the Service Point.
    * Is it possible to get ALEPH to e-mail the receipt to the patron instead?

    Answer

    Yes, this is possible:

    1. To configure that a printout should send by e-mail you need to make sure that the XML file of the printout contains the e-mail address to which it should be send.

    xxx01/form_eng/global.trn has:

    form-print-method EMAIL S

    (if there is no specific loan-receipt.trn translation file then the global.trn will be used)

    As a result, when printing a loan receipt, the XML file will contain a tag <email-address>:

    ## - XML_XSL
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <printout>
    <form-name>loan-receipt</form-name>
    <form-language>ENG</form-language>
    <form-format>00</form-format>
    <subject>Loan Receipt</subject>

    <email-address>sandra.balzer@exlibrisgroup.com</email-address> << see here
    <plain-html>P</plain-html>

    <section-01>
    <form-date>14/11/2012</form-date>
    ..


    Then, to configure that the GUI should send the receipt by e-mail to the specified address, set col. 4 in circ\tab\print.ini to "M" (= Mail) or "B" (= Both):

    LoanReceipt 00 Y M loanrcpt.prn
