Is this even legal? I think I could have truncated without downloading this new software. Any one else furious over these charges?

You should probably inform your customer to be careful with their receipt, but there are no formal, or legal requirements for manually processing. It has been considered, but it is more dificult than most people would think to make a manual imprinter than only imprints the number on one copy of the receipt. I would imagine that it is something that will be required in the future, but not in the near future. As long as you are using a manual imprinter, then you don’t need to truncate.
