Unfortunately, the law does not explicitly require a "paper record of each individual vote as cast." You're welcome to interpret the "manual audit capacity" requirement as logically entailing a paper record of each individual vote, but that doesn't mean you would win in court.

As I'm sure you're aware, this is not a fresh topic that you discovered in the last few days. This page might help. Note what John Ensign said about his amendment at the time (upper left), which seems to agree with your interpretation. (I haven't double-checked each of the citations on this page.) Now notice what he says here. Note also what Rush Holt says here.
