-Important preferences to consider:  +Here is a description of what some of the most important preferences do:  
-  * Ensure the **Show direction entry in dispensary** box is ticked. +  * **Label printing** section: Define what is printed on dispensary labels (requires a label printer, see the [[dispensing:printer_setup]] page for details). 
-  * Specify what information will be printed on **dispensing labels**. +  * **Show direction entry in dispensary** checkbox: if this is ticked, a user can enter directions for how dispensed items are to be used (e.g. "Take one twice a day with food"). These directions are included in the information printed on dispensary labels. 
-  * Specify if you want a **receipt** to automatically print on labels. +  * **Print a receipt on labels by default** checkbox: if this is ticked, a receipt for the items on the prescription will also automatically be printed when dispensary labels are printed. 
-  * Specify if you want mSupply to **auto-generate patient codes** (alternatively, the user must enter a unique code for each patient). +  * **Auto-generate patient code** checkbox: if this is ticked then, when patients are created mSupply will automatically generate a unique code for them (the next number in a numeric sequence). If this is not ticked then the user must enter a new patient's code manually (for example when a national ID is used for the patient's code). 
-  * Specify if a **prescriber** must be entered for each prescription. +  * **Prescriber must be entered** checkbox: if this is ticked users must enter a prescriber (clinician) on the prescription. If it is not ticked, it is optional. 
-  * Specify if you want to be able to **receive payments** from the prescription window.+  * **Dispensing directions must be entered** checkbox: . 
 +  * **Show 'Hold' checkbox on prescriptions** checkbox: if ticked then the **Hold** checkbox is displayed at the bottom of a prescription screen. This enables the user to prevent the prescription from being automatically confirmed (and therefore prevent stock being automatically removed from the store) when its window is closed. See the [[dispensing:prescription_entry|10.02. Prescription entry]] page for more details.  
 +  * **Receive payments from prescriptions window** checkbox: if ticked then the a patient's payment for the items on their prescription can be received on the prescription screen in mSupply.
