in part 1 of this rulebook:
The Cardholder and Merchant receipts generated by all POS Terminals, whether
attended or unattended, must omit the Card expiration date. In addition,
the Cardholder receipt generated by all POS Terminals, whether attended or
unattended, must reflect only the last four (4) digits of the PAN or digits thirteen
(13) through sixteen (16) of a nineteen (19)-digit PAN. All other digits of the

only the last four (4) digits of the PAN or digits thirteen (13) through sixteen
