Abstract:
1. A method comprising: (a) sensing temperature with a temperature sensor within an automated banking machine, wherein the machine includes a cash dispenser, an inkjet printer, and at least one controller in operative connection with the sensor and the printer, wherein the inkjet printer comprises a plurality of nozzles, wherein the machine is enabled to carry out transactions, and the printer operates during at least some of the transactions to print indicia on items, (b) causing a difference in the temperature sensed in step (a) from a prior temperature to be detected; (c) responsive to step (b), determining a change to make in at least one of nozzle firing frequency and nozzle firing energy based on the temperature sensed in step (a), wherein the change includes a difference in at least one of nozzle firing frequency and nozzle firing energy associated with the prior temperature; and (d) operating the at least one controller to cause the inkjet printer to operate at one of the other times using a changed at least one of nozzle firing frequency and nozzle firing energy based on the determination in step (c).
