Abstract
A statement printer of an automated banking machine includes a lower roll shaft (118) having round paper engaging rolls (120) thereon. An upper roll shaft (122) has flat spot rolls (124, 125, 126, 127) thereon. The flat spot rolls are positioned in opposed relation with the round rolls. The round rolls are moved by a drive mechanism (128, 129). A paper sheet (130) is moved between the round rolls and the flat spot rolls. As the paper sheet is moved between the rolls lateral stresses in the paper are relieved and creases and puckers in the paper sheet are reduced.
