IA tip is optional, not a requirement. If the person doesn't know the procedure, they will find a way or tip you more next time. Your boss definitely is not making your job easy nor is he providing good customer service by making this difficult for the customer. Also, it's never good to bad-mouth the boss to the customer either. You NEVER ask for a tip nor mention that one needs to do so. IA tip is optional, not a requirement.

Also, it’s never good to bad-mouth the boss to the customer either.

They'll say on the card, and you can ask how much. Or you could say "How much tip would you like to leave on your card?" Say, "Would you like to enter a tip on your card, or on the table?"

You need to speak to your employer about the procedure of how to handle the tip. If your customers wish to give you a tip they will figure a way to do it. If not you get stiffed.

The client may think it will take extra long to run the card a second time, and go ahead and tell you to add the tip. That's a tough one. Any chance the owner might get the machine upgraded or modified? Sometimes just asking (the owner and the machine manufacturere) works wonders. You shouldn't have to ask for a tip every time!
