### Settings

#### Receipt Method

- **Email** - Send receipts to the patron's email address as shown on the [Patrons View](https://docs.surpass.cloud/v1/docs/patron) page.
  - **Automatically/Upon Request** - Determines whether the receipt is emailed automatically or upon request. If you select to email receipts automatically, a receipt is sent to the patron automatically when you start a transaction for a different patron or leave the [Circulation Transactions](/docs/circulation) page.
    - **Alert if no email for patron** - If you are sending receipts automatically, you can specify that you would like to be alerted when the patron does not have a valid email address on file. This lets you know that the patron will not get a receipt by email. You may want to take the opportunity to ask the patron for their email address and update your records.
- **Paper** - Print receipts on a connected receipt printer (see [Receipt Printers](https://docs.surpass.cloud/v1/docs/receipt-printers) for a list of compatible models) or on a standard plain paper printer.
  - **Automatically/Upon Request** - Determines whether the receipt is printed automatically or upon request. If you select to print receipts automatically, a receipt is printed when you start a transaction for a different patron or leave the [Circulation Transactions](/docs/circulation) page.

          Receipt Printing Requirements
