Abstract:
Apparatus in an automated banking machine comprising:a sheet path, wherein sheets move in generally a first direction in the sheet path; a first sheet sensor and a second sheet sensor adjacent the sheet path, wherein the first and second sheet sensors are generally disposed from each other in a transverse direction relative to the first direction; a first sheet brake and a second sheet brake adjacent the sheet path, wherein the second sheet brake is generally transversely disposed from the first sheet brake, wherein each sheet brake is selectively operative to change relative speed of disposed areas of a sheet adjacent to the sheet brakes as the sheet moves adjacent to the sheet brakes in the sheet path; and a control system in operative connection with the first and second sheet sensors and the first and second sheet brakes, wherein the control system is operative responsive to sensing a sheet with the first and second sensors to selectively actuate the first and second sheet brakes to change the orientation of the sheet relative to the sheet path.
