Abstract

An automated banking machine (10) operates responsive to data read from data bearing records to cause financial transfers. The machine includes a user interface (12) including an opening (20). Users of the machine deliver individual sheets and stacks of sheets to and from the machine through the opening. Stacks of sheets may include sheets such as notes, checks, or other documents. Stacks input to the machine may include mixtures of various types of sheets. The machine operates to receive notes, process checks, and perform other operations. Notes received in the machine may be recycled and dispensed to other users. Checks processed by the machine may be imaged by an imaging device, cancelled, and stored in the machine or alternatively returned to a user.
