     TECHNICAL FIELD 
       [0002]    This invention relates to automated banking machines that operate responsive to data read from user cards and which may be classified in U.S. Class 235, Subclass 379. 
       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0003]    Automated banking machines may include a card reader that operates to read data from a bearer record such as a user card. Automated banking machines may operate to cause the data read from the card to be compared with other computer stored data related to the bearer or their financial accounts. The machine operates at least in part in response to the comparison determining that the bearer record corresponds to an authorized user and/or an authorized financial account, to carry out at least one transaction which may be operative to transfer value to or from at least one financial account. A record of the transaction is often printed through operation of the automated banking machine and provided to the user. Automated banking machines may be used to carry out transactions such as dispensing cash, the making of deposits, the transfer of funds between accounts and account balance inquiries. The types of banking transactions that may be carried out are determined by the capabilities of the particular banking machine and system, as well as the programming of the institution operating the machine. 
         [0004]    Other types of automated banking machines may be operated by merchants to carry out commercial transactions. These transactions may include, for example, the acceptance of deposit bags, the receipt of checks or other financial instruments, the dispensing of rolled coin, or other transactions required by merchants. Still other types of automated banking machines may be used by service providers in a transaction environment such as at a bank to carry out financial transactions. Such transactions may include for example, the counting and storage of currency notes or other financial instrument sheets, and other types of transactions. For purposes of this disclosure an automated banking machine, automated transaction machine or an automated teller machine (ATM) shall be deemed to include any machine that may be used to automatically carry out transactions involving transfers of value. 
         [0005]    Automated banking machines may benefit from improvements.

         [0089]    As illustrated in  FIG. 1 , in the operative condition of machine  10 , the rollout tray  80  is retracted into the interior area  20  of the housing  12 . Upper fascia  86  operates to close front opening  22  and provide an attractive appearance for machine  10 , while allowing a customer to input information and receive outputs from machine  10 . 
         [0090]    With reference to  FIG. 6 , in this exemplary embodiment, the forward-most parts of side walls  14  and  16  and top wall  18  of housing  12  define a forward region  94 , shown in dashed lines, bounding the front opening  22 . In this exemplary embodiment, upper fascia  86  includes a rearwardly extending portion  98 , also shown in dashed lines. Rearwardly extending portion  98  is dimensioned to overlie in generally surrounding relation, the forward region  94  when rollout tray  80  is retracted and upper fascia  86  is in the first position. In some embodiments the rearwardly extending portion may be contoured or tapered so as to extend further inwardly with increasing proximity to the front of the fascia. Such tapered control may engage and help to close and/or align the fascia and the top housing  12 . 
         [0091]    With reference to  FIG. 7 , when machine  10  is viewed from the rear, there may be a first gap  100  separating the rearwardly extending portion  98  of upper fascia  86  from the top housing  12 . In some embodiments it may be desirable that first gap  100  be minimal to prevent unauthorized access to interior area  20 . First gap  100  in the exemplary embodiment is not visible when machine  10  is viewed from the front. 
         [0092]    In this exemplary embodiment, the upper fascia  86  is formed of a plastic material and the top housing  12  is formed of sheet metal. Alternately, the extending portion  98  or forward portion  94  shown in  FIG. 6 , or both, may include resilient materials to provide for engagement and sealing of the housing and the fascia in the closed position. However, other materials may be chosen, and these approaches are exemplary. 
         [0093]    With reference to  FIGS. 1, 4 and 5 , the exemplary embodiment further includes a lower fascia  110  moveably mounted on the chest housing  44 . In this exemplary embodiment, lower fascia  110  is operable to move between a covering position as illustrated in  FIG. 1 , and an accessible position as illustrated in  FIGS. 4-5 . In other applications, it may be preferable to provide a selectively removable lower fascia, or other approaches to supporting the lower fascia on the chest portion. 
         [0094]    The exemplary lower fascia  110  operates to cover the chest  40  to thereby provide a more attractive appearance to machine  10 . In the exemplary embodiment, lower fascia  110  includes a front face  112  and first and second side extensions  114 ,  116 , respectively. 
         [0095]    In the exemplary embodiment, illustrated in  FIGS. 5 and 7 , chest housing  44  includes first and second side walls  120 ,  122 , respectively. First side wall  120  includes a forward portion  124  and second side wall includes a forward portion  126  (shown in phantom in  FIG. 7 ). When the chest door  50  is in the closed position and the lower fascia  110  is in the covering position, the first and second side extensions  114 ,  116 , respectively, overlie forward portions  124 ,  126 . 
         [0096]    Thus, when machine  10  is viewed from the front (see  FIG. 1 ), the lower fascia  110  covers the chest  40  from side to side. When machine  10  is viewed from the rear (see  FIG. 7 ), a lower gap (not shown) between the first side extension  114  and the first side wall  120  of the chest housing  44  and a lower gap  130  between the second side extension and  116  the second side wall  122  may be visible, although such lower gaps are not viewable from the front of machine  10 . In some applications, it may be desirable to minimize the lower gaps  130 . 
         [0097]    As best illustrated in  FIG. 8 , in the exemplary embodiment, the rearwardly extending portion  98  of upper fascia  86  includes a rearward facing end edge  134 . Also, in the exemplary embodiment, first side extension  114  of lower fascia  110  includes rearward facing end edge  138 . When viewed from the first side of machine  10 , in the exemplary embodiment, end edge  134  of upper fascia  86  and end edge  138  of lower fascia  110  are substantially vertically aligned along a first side of machine  10  when the upper fascia  86  is in the first position and the lower fascia  110  is in the covering position. 
         [0098]    With continued reference to  FIG. 8 , in the exemplary embodiment, upper fascia  86  is bounded by a lower surface  140 . Lower fascia  110  is bounded by an upper surface  142 . In the exemplary embodiment, lower surface  140  is adapted for substantial parallel horizontal alignment with upper surface  142  when the upper fascia  86  is in the first position and the lower fascia  110  is in the covering position. The alignment of the fascia surfaces presents an attractive appearance to machine  10 . 
         [0099]    In this exemplary embodiment, the rearwardly extending portion  98  further operates to simplify the manufacture and assembly of the machine  10 . In some previous machines, it was necessary to more precisely control the alignment of the walls of the upper fascia  86  with the perimeter of the front opening. However, in this disclosed exemplary embodiment, because the rearwardly extending portion  98  overlies the forward region  94 , the required precision is lessened. Further, in those embodiments which include a tapered engagement, alignment of the top housing  12  and upper fascia  86  is facilitated. 
         [0100]    With particular reference to  FIG. 5 , lower fascia  110  may include an access opening  118  therein. In this exemplary embodiment, access opening  118  in the lower fascia  110  is adapted to be substantially aligned with first device opening  56  in chest door  50  when chest door is closed and lower fascia  110  is in the covering position. In this exemplary embodiment, when the chest door  50  is closed and lower fascia  110  is in the covering position, at least an end portion of sheet delivery mechanism  74  extends in the first device opening  56  in chest door  50  and access opening  118  in lower fascia  110 . 
         [0101]    As illustrated in  FIGS. 1 and 2 , in this exemplary embodiment, machine  10  includes a first locking mechanism  146  for selectively retaining the rollout tray  80  in the retracted position when upper fascia  86  covers the front opening  22 . The first locking mechanism may be of the type described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,082,616 the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. 
         [0102]    In the exemplary embodiment, machine  10  also includes a second locking mechanism  148  for selectively securing lower fascia  110  in the covering position. 
         [0103]    With particular reference to  FIGS. 4, 5 and 9 , in another exemplary embodiment machine  10  may include a top housing  12  as previously described. Machine  10  further includes chest  40  having chest door  50  mounted to the housing  44  by one or more chest door hinge assemblies  152 . Lower fascia  110  is moveably mounted to chest housing  44  by one or mo.re fascia hinges  154 . In this exemplary embodiment, fascia hinge  154  and chest door hinge assembly  152  are situated on the same side of the chest housing  44  so that lower fascia  110  and chest door  50  pivot generally in the same direction relative to the chest. 
         [0104]    From time to time, the banking machine components enclosed within secure enclosure  42  must be accessed for replenishment or other servicing activity. Thus, lower fascia  110  may be selectively moved from a covering position into an accessible position to allow access to chest door  50 . Chest door  50  may then be selectively opened. 
         [0105]    In this exemplary embodiment, as best seen in  FIG. 9 , lower fascia  110  is operable to engage the open chest door  50  to prevent its movement back to a closed position. In this exemplary embodiment, lower fascia  110  includes an inwardly directed flange  156  carried on an inner surface at a side opposite the fascia hinge  154 . Inwardly directed flange  156  is dimensioned to engage at least a portion of chest door  50  when the lower fascia  110  is in the accessible position and the chest door  50  is in the open position. In the exemplary embodiment, lower fascia  110  is adapted to pivot away from the chest door  50  to at least an extent where the chest door may be disengaged from inwardly directed flange  156 . Exemplary embodiments may include features of the type discussed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,159,767; 7,152,784; 7,000,830; and 6,871,602 the disclosures of each of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. 
         [0106]    An exemplary embodiment includes a method for accessing the contents of the secure area for servicing components housed therein or to replenish currency sheets. The method includes placing the lower fascia into an accessible position from a covering position to uncover the chest door; opening the chest door to provide access to the secure area through an opening in the chest housing; and engaging the chest door and the lower fascia to hold the chest door in an open condition. Thus a currency dispenser mechanism or other components may be accessed. Servicing the currency dispenser may include adding or removing currency sheets from operative engagement with the currency dispenser mechanism. 
         [0107]    The method may further include engaging the chest door with an inwardly directed flange that is mounted in supporting connection with the lower fascia. 
         [0108]    To return the machine to an operational condition, the method includes moving the lower fascia outwardly relative to the engaged chest door to disengage the chest door; closing the chest door, and repositioning the lower fascia into the covering position. 
         [0109]    Repositioning the lower fascia into the covering position includes overlying a first forward portion of the chest housing with a first side extension of the lower fascia and overlying a second forward portion of the chest housing with a second side extension of the lower fascia. 
         [0110]    Prior to placing the lower fascia into the accessible position, the method includes unlocking a first locking mechanism operable to selectively retain the lower fascia in a covering position. 
         [0111]    Some machines may be equipped with another exemplary embodiment of a chest or safe  160 , as best seen in  FIGS. 10-11 . Chest  160  includes a chest housing  162  having a first end  164  defining a first opening  166  therein and a second end  168  defining a second opening  170  therein. The chest of this exemplary embodiment is particularly adapted for applications wherein a common chest housing can be utilized in either “front-load” machines or “rear-load” machines. By “front-load” machine it is meant that access to a secure area  174  in an operable machine may be selectively attained from the front of the machine, which is the same side that customers use to provide input to the machine. By “rear-load” machine it is meant that access to the secure area  174  in an operable machine may be selectively attained from the rear of the machine while customer inputs are provided at the front of the machine. 
         [0112]    In this exemplary embodiment, chest  160  includes a first chest door  178  moveably mounted adjacent a first end  164  of chest housing  162  to selectively close the first opening  166 . Chest  160  further includes a second chest door  180  moveably mounted adjacent the second end  168  to selectively close the second opening  170 . 
         [0113]    In the exemplary embodiment illustrated in  FIG. 10 , chest  160  is adapted for use in a front load machine wherein under usual operating conditions, first chest door  178  is selectively movable to open or close first opening  166  to allow access to secure area  174 . In this exemplary embodiment, second chest door  180  is adapted to remain closed during usual operation of the machine, including those times when access to secure area  174  is desired. For purposes of this disclosure, the term “semi-permanently” closed is used to describe a condition of a chest door that closes an opening in the chest housing in a manner that does not readily permit access to the secure area. In this way, a “semi-permanently” closed chest door is not used as the primary means for accessing the chest interior. However, under appropriate conditions the semi-permanently closed chest door can be opened. 
         [0114]    In this exemplary embodiment, first chest door  178  is the operable door and second chest door  180  is adapted to be semi-permanently closed. In other embodiments, for instance in rear-load machines, it may be desirable to utilize chest  160  as illustrated in  FIG. 11  where the second chest door  180  is the operable door while first chest door  178  is adapted to be semi-permanently closed. 
         [0115]    With particular reference to  FIGS. 10 and 12 , in the exemplary embodiment, the first chest door  178  is equipped with a suitable locking bolt mechanism generally denoted  186 . Locking bolt mechanism  186  is operative to selectively enable securing first chest door  178  in a locked condition. Locking bolt mechanism  186  may be of the type described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,089,168 which is incorporated by reference in its entirety as if fully rewritten herein. Of course, other suitable bolt works can be utilized to accomplish the objectives. 
         [0116]    Locking bolt mechanism  186  of the exemplary embodiment includes a locking bolt  188  which includes a plurality of locking bolt projections  190 . Locking bolt  188  is mounted in operatively supported connection with an interior surface of first chest door  178  so as to be slideably movable between an extended position and a retracted position. 
         [0117]    First chest door  178  also has a lock  192  mounted thereto. Lock  192  cooperates with locking bolt mechanism  186  so that first chest door  178  is enabled to be changed from a locked condition to an unlocked condition. As shown in  FIG. 10 , the chest housing  162  includes a plurality of vertically spaced locking bolt apertures  194  which are sized and positioned for accepting the locking bolt projections  190 . 
         [0118]    It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the locking bolt mechanism because it provides multiple places for engagement with the chest housing, achieves more secure locking of the door in the closed position than a locking bolt mechanism providing a single place for engagement with the chest housing. 
         [0119]    In the exemplary embodiment, first chest door  178  includes a plurality of dead bolt projections  196  extending on a hinge side of the door. These dead bolt projections  196  are preferably positioned and sized to be accepted in the dead bolt apertures  198  in housing  162 . As will be appreciated, the acceptance of the dead bolt projections  196  into the dead bolt apertures  198  provides enhanced security. In an exemplary embodiment, the dead bolt apertures and the locking bolt apertures are covered by trim pieces  200  (shown in  FIG. 9 ) that extend on the outside of the housing. 
         [0120]    With reference to  FIG. 10 , in the exemplary embodiment, the first chest door  178  is operably connected to the chest housing via one or more first chest hinge assemblies  202 . The exemplary chest hinge assembly  202  may be of the type described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,089,168 and/or 7,156,297, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein in their entirety. It will be readily understood that other hinge constructions may be used in other embodiments. 
         [0121]    In the exemplary embodiment, the second chest door  180  may be secured in a closed position by a securing mechanism that generally mirrors the locking bolt mechanism  186  and lock  192 . Alternately, as illustrated in  FIG. 10 , second chest door  180  may be “semi-permanently” secured by an alternate securing mechanism  204 . The alternate securing mechanism  204  may include a bolt member  206  or other mechanism that is less complex than the locking bolt mechanism and lock previously described. In this exemplary embodiment, routine access to the secure area  174  via second chest door  180  is not necessary during normal operation of the machine. Thus, the alternate securing mechanism  204  is operable to “semi-permanently” engage the chest door  180 . This may be done, for example, by securing the bolt with fasteners or other devices that are only accessible from within the interior of the chest portion. Of course, in some alternative embodiments both chest doors may be equipped with operational locking bolt mechanisms and locks. 
         [0122]    The manufacture of an exemplary machine may be simplified by use of chest  160 . A common chest housing may be utilized in applications requiring a front-load machine or a rear-load machine. After the housing has been assembled, the positioning of a locking bolt mechanism may be chosen according to the configuration of the chest. Additionally, at a subsequent time, the operational features may be changed so that the initial operational chest door becomes the non-operational door and vice versa. Thus, the manufacturing process is simplified by the versatility of the chest housing. 
         [0123]    of course it will be readily appreciated that machines incorporating this exemplary embodiment of chest  160  may include any of the other features described elsewhere. 
         [0124]    An exemplary embodiment includes a method for utilizing a machine that is equipped with a chest having two opposed openings. The chest housing includes a first opening at a first end thereof and a second opening at a second opposed end. The first door is moveably mounted in supporting connection with the chest housing so that the first chest door is operative to selectively close the first opening. A second chest door is moveably mounted in supporting connection with the chest housing so that the second door is operative to semi-permanently close the second opening. At least one lower banking machine component is mounted in supporting connection with the chest housing in the secure area. 
         [0125]    In the exemplary method, a first locking bolt mechanism in supporting connection with the first chest door is operated to selectively securely engage the first chest door with the chest housing. A first securing mechanism in supporting connection with the second chest door is operated to semi-permanently securely engage the second chest door with the chest housing. 
         [0126]    The method includes accessing at least one lower banking machine component of an machine through a first opening in a chest housing bounding a secure area; and preventing access to the at least one lower banking machine component through the second opening. 
         [0127]    The method further includes replacing the first locking bolt mechanism with a second securing mechanism in supporting connection with the first chest door, wherein the second securing mechanism is operative to semi-permanently securely engage the first chest door with the chest housing; and replacing the first securing mechanism with a second locking bolt mechanism in supporting connection with the second chest door, wherein the second locking bolt mechanism is operative to selectively securely engage the second chest door with the chest housing. Thus, the door chosen as the operative door can be selected and changed. 
         [0128]    The exemplary machine may include a lower fascia that is mounted in supporting connection with the chest housing, wherein the lower fascia is selectively movable between a covering position and an accessible position. The exemplary method may include moving the lower fascia from the covering position to the accessible position prior to accessing the lower banking machine component. Further, the method may include engaging the first chest door with the lower fascia to hold the first door in the open condition. 
         [0129]    The at least one lower banking machine component may comprise a currency dispenser mechanism. The exemplary method includes servicing the currency dispenser mechanism after the at least one lower banking machine component is accessed. This may include for example features included in U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,195,237 and/or 7,111,776 the disclosures of each of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. 
         [0130]    The at least one lower banking machine component may comprise a currency stacker. The exemplary method includes servicing the currency stacker. 
         [0131]    Yet another exemplary embodiment of a machine  210  is illustrated in  FIGS. 13-15 . Machine  210  includes a top housing cover  212  including first and second side walls  214 ,  216 , top wall  218 , and rear wall  219 . Top housing cover  212  defines a front opening  222  and a bottom opening  224 . In a first (operable) position, top housing cover  212  covers an interior area in which various upper banking machine components such as a display, a receipt printer, a card reader, input keys, a controller, communication device, and others may be disposed. 
         [0132]    In this exemplary embodiment, machine  210  further includes a chest  240  bounding a secure area in a manner similar to that previously described. Chest  240  includes a housing  244  having a top wall  248 . Top housing cover  212  is adapted for rearward slideable movement relative to top wall  248  to a second position for service. 
         [0133]    In this exemplary embodiment, a first upwardly extending flange member  254  is mounted in supporting connection with top wall  248  along a first side thereof. A second upwardly extending flange member  256  (not shown in this view) is mounted in supporting connection with top wall  248  along a second side thereof. 
         [0134]    Supported on the first side wall  214  of top housing cover  212  is a first cooperating channel member  260  having a pair of spaced downwardly extending projections  262  defining a first channel  264  therebetween. Likewise, on the second side wall  216  of top housing cover  212  there is supported a second cooperating channel member  268  having a pair of spaced downwardly extending projections  270  defining a second channel  272  therebetween. 
         [0135]    Top housing cover  212  is adapted for slideable movement relative to the top wall  248  by the slideable engagement of the first flange member  254  within first channel  264  and the slideable engagement of the second flange member  256  within second channel  272 . 
         [0136]    In this exemplary embodiment, machine  210  includes an upper fascia  276  operable to selectively cover the front opening  222 . The top housing cover  212  is adapted for rearward movement relative to the top wall  248  in the direction of arrow A such that rearward displacement of the top housing cover  212  allows access to the upper banking machine components in the interior area, for example, for servicing. 
         [0137]    It is contemplated that in exemplary embodiments the positioning of the flange members  254 ,  256  and the channels  264 ,  272  be reversed. For example, the top housing cover  212  may support flange members and the mounting tray may support cooperating channel members to accomplish a similar slideable relationship therebetween. 
         [0138]      FIG. 14  illustrates an exemplary embodiment wherein the flange members  254 ,  256  are incorporated into a mounting tray  274  which is operable to receive and support one or more upper banking machine components, which for ease of illustration are not shown in this view. 
         [0139]    This embodiment allows for ease of assembly of the exemplary machine  210 . The applicable upper banking machine components can be readily mounted onto mounting tray  274 , which is mounted in supporting connection with top wall  248  of chest housing  244 . Top housing cover  212  may thereafter be positioned by slideable movement of flange members  254 ,  256  in respective channels  264 ,  272 . 
         [0140]    In an alternate exemplary embodiment, illustrated in  FIG. 15 , machine  210  may include a rollout tray  275  similar to rollout tray  80  as previously described. Flange members  254 , 256  may be mounted in supporting connection with rollout tray  275 . Thus, upper banking machine components may be accessed by rearwardly sliding the top housing cover  212 , extending the rollout tray  275 , or a combination of both. 
         [0141]    Machine  210  may further include at least one removable fastener  280  for selectively engaging the top housing cover  212  with at least one flange member  254 ,  256  to prevent relative slideable movement therebetween. In the exemplary embodiment, first and second fasteners  280  are used to secure the top housing cover  212 . 
         [0142]    Machine  210  may further include a first locking mechanism  282  to secure the top housing cover to upper fascia  276 . In this exemplary embodiment, the locking mechanism is operable in response to a key  284 . In the exemplary embodiment illustrated in  FIG. 15  it is contemplated that fasteners  280  are covered by a rearwardly extending portion of upper fascia similar to portion  98  shown in  FIG. 6 . Thus, fasteners  280  are not accessible from outside the machine until first locking mechanism  282  has been operated to release upper fascia  276  so that the upper fascia  276  can be moved away from top housing cover  212 . 
         [0143]    In the exemplary embodiment, machine  210  may include a lower fascia  288  with features similar to a lower fascia previously described. Lower fascia  288  may be secured in the covering position by a second locking mechanism  290 . 
         [0144]    This exemplary embodiment provides ready access to the upper banking machine components, for example, for servicing or replacing. To access the upper banking machine components, fasteners  280  are removed. It is contemplated that in an exemplary embodiment, the fasteners may not be accessible until after the first locking mechanism  282  is unlocked and the upper fascia is displaced slightly to uncover fasteners  280 . In other embodiments, the fasteners may be directly accessed. 
         [0145]    The top housing cover  212  may then be moved rearwardly, away from upper fascia  276  so that the interior area is accessible. During servicing, the top housing cover  212  may be selectively positioned so that some portion or none of the upwardly extending flanges  254 ,  256  remain engaged with the channel members  260 ,  268 , respectively. 
         [0146]    In one exemplary embodiment, a method is provided for accessing banking machine components. The exemplary method includes supporting the top housing cover in a slideable relationship with the top wall of the chest housing, wherein the top housing cover includes a front opening; selectively rearwardly sliding the top housing cover away from a first position in which an upper fascia covers the front opening; and accessing at least one upper banking machine component that is mounted in supporting connection with the top wall of the chest housing. 
         [0147]    The exemplary method further includes removing fasteners that may be used to selectively secure the top housing cover in the first position. 
         [0148]    The exemplary method further includes operating a locking mechanism to release the top housing cover and the upper fascia. 
         [0149]    The exemplary method further includes accessing an upper banking machine component for servicing. The at least one upper banking machine component may be a display that is accessed for servicing. 
         [0150]    In one embodiment the machine includes side flange members mounted in supporting connection with a top wall of a chest housing and cooperative channel members mounted in supporting connection with the top housing cover. In this exemplary embodiment, the method further includes slideably engaging a first flange member with a first channel of a first channel member. 
         [0151]    In another exemplary embodiment, illustrated in  FIGS. 16 and 17 , machine  310  may include a chest  312  having a chest housing  314  including top wall  316 . As in previously described embodiments, chest housing  314  bounds a secure area which holds lower banking machine components including a currency dispenser mechanism which may be similar to mechanism  64  shown in  FIG. 3 . Machine  310  further includes a top housing  320  (shown in phantom) bounding an interior area  322 . 
         [0152]    In this exemplary embodiment, machine  310  includes a processor case  324  that houses the primary machine processor or processors. The processor may be an Intel Pentium or Celeron processor. Of course, in some embodiments the case may house multiple processors or no processors at all. The processor causes operation of the various devices and mechanisms in the machine. 
         [0153]    In this exemplary embodiment, processor case  324  is in supporting connection with top wall  316  of chest housing  314 . Processor case  324  includes a first functional side  326  that is operable to establish connections, such as through cable  327 , from the various banking machine components. Other processor components, including but not limited to circuit cards having various functions, additional processors, drives (CD, DVD, floppy), power supplies, memory, or encryption cards, may be carried on or within processor case  324 . Such components may also be accessed, removed and/or replaced and routine maintenance performed through access to the functional side of the process or case. 
         [0154]    In order to minimize the space occupied by machine  310 , it is advantageous to orient processor case  324  of the exemplary embodiment so that the first functional side  326  is substantially parallel to a first side wall  328  (shown in phantom) of top housing  320 . However, in order to easily access first functional side  326  for servicing or connecting cables, it is advantageous to orient processor case  324  so that the first functional side  326  is substantially perpendicular to the first side wall  328 , facing the front opening of the machine. In order to accomplish both these purposes, the processor case  324  of the exemplary embodiment is rotationally supported in connection with the top wall  316  of the chest housing  314 . The processor case  324  is selectively rotationally movable between an operational position, shown in  FIG. 17 , wherein the first functional side  326  is substantially parallel to the first side wall  328 , and a service position, shown in  FIG. 16 , wherein the first functional side  326  is substantially perpendicular to the first side wall  328 . 
         [0155]    In this exemplary embodiment, a rollout tray  330  is supported on the top wall  316  of the chest housing  314 . As in earlier described exemplary embodiments, the rollout tray  330  is selectively movable between a retracted position wherein the rollout tray  330  is within the interior area  322 , and an extended position wherein the rollout tray  330  extends outwardly from the interior area through a front opening in the top housing  320 . In the exemplary embodiment, various upper banking machine components such as display  332 , receipt printer  334 , and card reader  336  are supported on rollout tray  330 . Also, an upper fascia  340  may be mounted in supporting connection with rollout tray  330 . As in other described embodiments, when the rollout tray is in the retracted position, the upper fascia  340  covers the front opening in the top housing. 
         [0156]    In the exemplary embodiment, when rollout tray  330  is in the retracted position, as illustrated in  FIG. 16 , the processor case  324  is prevented from rotating from the operational position to the service position. When the rollout tray  330  is in the extended position, as illustrated in  FIG. 17 , there is enough clearance in the interior area  322  to permit the processor case  324  to be rotated into the service position. Thus, when the rollout tray  330  is in the extended position, the upper banking machine components supported thereon are readily accessible for service. Likewise, the cable connections and any processor components carried on the processor case are accessible for service. 
         [0157]    In a method for servicing banking machine components of a machine, a rollout tray  80  mounted in supporting connection with a top housing  320  is extended from a retracted position so that the rollout tray extends through a front opening in the top housing  320 . The method includes disengaging any locking mechanisms that operate to retain the rollout tray  80  in the retracted position. 
         [0158]    A processor case  324  disposed in an interior area  322  bounded by the top housing  320  may be rotated from an operational position to a service position. At least one processor component mounted in supporting connection with the processor case  324  may be accessed for servicing. After servicing of the processor component is complete, the processor case  324  may be rotationally returned to the operational position from the service position. Thereafter, the rollout tray  80  may be repositioned into the retracted position. 
         [0159]    The step of servicing the processor component may include connecting or disconnecting cables or connections, adding or replacing components such as circuit cards, performing diagnostic tests and other functions to facilitate operation of the machine. 
         [0160]    Prior to repositioning the rollout tray  80 , other banking machine components may be serviced while the rollout tray is extended. For example, a display, card reader, and receipt printer assembly are readily accessible for service. The service can include routine maintenance, replacement of non-working components, addition of other banking machine components, and the like. Connections with the processor can be readily made while the rollout tray is in the extended position and the processor case is in the service position. 
         [0161]    The machine may include a slideable top housing cover  212  as earlier described. The service method includes the step of rearwardly sliding the top housing cover  212 . After the servicing of banking machine components is completed, the method includes returning the top housing cover  212  to an operational position. 
         [0162]    During servicing of the machine, the lower banking machine components may also be accessed for servicing. The service method includes disengaging any locking mechanisms that retain the lower fascia in a covering position. The lower fascia may thereafter be moved into the accessible position. The locking bolt mechanism that securely engages the chest door with the chest housing may be disengaged so that the chest door may be placed in the open position. 
         [0163]    An exemplary method further includes the step of engaging the chest door with the lower fascia when the chest door is in the open position and the lower fascia is in the accessible position in order to retain the door in the open position. 
         [0164]    The lower banking machine components, such as currency stacker, currency dispenser mechanism, and currency delivery mechanism (as shown in  FIG. 3 ). An exemplary service method includes performing routine maintenance, replenishing currency, removing sheets, disengaging sheets from the currency dispenser mechanism, replacing components and the like. 
         [0165]    The machine can include connections and/or cables that extend between the processor case and lower banking machine components that are generally housed within the secure chest. The chest housing may include various openings  350  through the walls to accommodate the connections and/or cables ( FIGS. 10-11 and 17 ). When the processor case is in the service position, the connections can be readily established, maintained and/or changed. 
         [0166]    An exemplary method of constructing a machine apparatus is described. The exemplary method includes mounting a top housing in supporting connection with a chest adapted for use in an automated banking machine apparatus. A first chest door is operable to selectively close a first opening in the chest housing. 
         [0167]    The method further includes mounting an upper fascia in supporting connection with the top housing and mounting a lower fascia in movable supporting connection with the chest housing. 
         [0168]    The upper fascia and the top housing are selectively positioned relative each other so that a front opening in the top housing is selectively covered by the upper fascia, and wherein a rearwardly extending portion of the upper fascia overlies a forward region of the top housing. 
         [0169]    The lower fascia is selectively positioned in a covering position relative a chest door wherein a first side extension of the lower fascia overlies a first forward portion of the chest housing and wherein a second side extension of the lower fascia overlies a second forward portion of the chest housing. 
         [0170]    In an exemplary method, a lower edge surface of the upper fascia is placed in substantially parallel alignment with an upper edge surface of the lower fascia and an end edge of a rearwardly extending portion of the upper fascia is substantially vertically aligned with an end edge of a first side extension of the lower fascia at a first side of the machine. 
         [0171]    In an exemplary method, a second chest door is moveably mounted in supporting connection with the chest housing to operably close a second opening in the chest housing. A first locking bolt mechanism may be mounted to the first chest door and an alternate securing mechanism may be mounted to the second chest door.

         [0209]    As previously mentioned, the rollout tray  80  is movably mounted in supporting connection with slides  84 . The rollout tray provides a device support for various types of transaction function devices. Rollout trays may have numerous different configurations and may vary with the size, type and operation of the device supported. In some embodiments the tray may include a support structure separable from the device. In other arrangements the tray (which is sometimes alternatively referred to as a device support) may include a frame or body of the device itself. The example slides  84  enable the device support to extend out of the housing opening  20  of the machine, such that components may be more readily serviced. Slides  84  may be held in engagement with vertically extending sidewalls  14 ,  16  of the housing  12  through fasteners. The process of fastening the slides in position to the walls via the fasteners can be time consuming during assembly. Removal and installation of the slides is also time consuming during servicing activities in which the slide needs to be removed for access to portions of the serviceable device. In addition, when assembling the machine, the slide has to be installed properly in that the slide can be extended in the desired direction. Also, slides may break and need to be replaced. Further, if a machine is going to be reconfigured with a device support that is moveable between a position substantially within the interior  20  of the housing  12  and a position wherein at least a portion of the device support is extended through a housing opening in the rear of the machine, the slides may need to be repositioned in the housing to accommodate the device support. 
         [0210]      FIGS. 35-52  illustrate an exemplary embodiment that overcomes the above-mentioned problems by providing an apparatus that allows for a quick and easy way to install and remove slides that support device supports. In addition, the apparatus includes first and second slides  1000 ,  1002  that can be engaged with the housing  12  through a set of slots to extend the device support through the front of the machine, or the same slides can be engaged with the same set of slots to extend the device support through the rear of the machine.

The second channel rail  1112  slideably receives a third channel rail  1114 . When the rollout tray  80  is in the retracted position as shown in  FIG. 1 , the channel rails  1110 ,  1112 , and  1114  are retracted in telescoping relation such that all of the channel rails are positioned within interior of the housing  12 . When the rollout tray  80  moves toward the extended position as shown in  FIG. 2 , the second channel rail  1112  first slides relative to the first channel rail  1110  in engagement therewith in the direction toward the extended position of the rollout tray  80  until it is fully extended relative to the first channel rail  1110 . Then, the third channel rail  1114  slides along the second channel rail  1112  in the direction toward the extended position of the rollout tray  80 . The third channel rail  1114  is fully extended from the second channel rail  1112  when the rollout tray  80  is in the extended position. 
         [0217]    Referring to  FIGS. 42 and 43 , the exemplary first channel rail  1110  has in operative fixed engagement therewith first and second mounting tabs  1116 ,  1118 . The exemplary tabs  1116 ,  1118  are made of generally rigid but deformable material such as sheet steel. As seen in  FIG. 43 , the exemplary first tab  1116  in the operative position extends generally vertically. That is, a lateral axis  1120  of the first tab  1116  is vertical. The first tab  1116  includes a proximal portion  1122  that extends outward relative to an outer side  1124  of the first channel rail  1110  in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis  1126  of the first slide  1000 . The exemplary first tab  1116  also includes a distal portion  1128  that extends from the proximal portion  1122  in a first direction. The first direction in the example embodiment is the same direction of movement as the rollout tray  80  moves from the extended position to the retracted position wherein the device is within the interior of the housing  12 . The exemplary distal portion  1128  terminates in an end portion  1130 . The end portion  1130  flares outwardly or angles away from the outer side  1124  of the first channel rail  1110  with increasing relative displacement in the first direction. The exemplary end portion  1130  allows the first tab  1116  to accommodate for acceptance in the gap bounded by the first tab, wall portions having somewhat different thicknesses. 
         [0218]    As seen in  FIG. 42 , the exemplary second tab  1118  in the operative position is oriented generally horizontally. That is, the lateral axis  1134  of the second tab  1118  is horizontal. The second tab  1118  includes a proximal portion  1136  that extends outward relative to the outer side  1124  of the first channel rail  1110  in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis  1126  of the first slide  1000 . The second tab  1118  also includes a distal portion  1140  that in the operative position extends downwardly from the proximal portion  1136 . The distal portion  1140  terminates at an end portion  1142 . The exemplary end portion  1142  flares outwardly with increasing relative downward displacement away from the outer side  1124  of the first channel rail  1110 . The end portion  1142  bounds a gap that also allows the second tab  1118  to accommodate wall portions having somewhat different thickness. 
         [0219]    Referring to  FIGS. 47 and 48 , the exemplary second slide  1002  includes a first channel rail  1144  that slideably receives a second channel rail  1146 . The second channel rail  1146  slideably receives a third channel rail  1148 . When the rollout tray  80  is in the retracted position as shown in  FIG. 2 , the channel rails  1144 ,  1146 , and  1148  are retracted in telescoping relation such that all of the rails are positioned within interior of the housing  12 . When the rollout tray  80  moves toward the extended position as shown in  FIGS. 47 and 48 . the second channel rail  1146  first slides along in supported connection with first channel rail  1144  in the direction toward the extended position of the rollout tray  80  until it is fully extended from the third channel rail  1148 . Then, the third channel rail  1148  slides along the second channel rail  1146  in the direction toward the extended position of the rollout tray  80 . The third channel rail  1148  is fully extended from the second channel rail  1146  when the rollout tray  80  is in the extended position. 
         [0220]    Referring to  FIGS. 44 and 45 , the exemplary first channel rail  1144  of the second slide  1002  is in operatively fixed engagement with first and second mounting tabs  1150 .  1152 . The tabs  1150 ,  1152  are made of generally rigid but deformable material such as sheet steel. Referring to the rear and left side isometric view of  FIG. 44 , the exemplary first tab  1150  is oriented generally vertically in the operative position. That is, the lateral axis  1154  of the first tab  1150  is vertical. The first tab  1150  includes a proximal portion  1156  that extends in a direction away from the outer side  1158  of the first channel rail  1144  in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis  1160  of the second slide  1002 . The exemplary first tab  1150  also includes a distal portion  1162  that extends from the proximal portion  1156  in a first direction and bounds a gap. The first direction is the same direction of movement of the rollout tray  80  from the extended position to the retracted position within the interior of the housing  12 . The distal portion  1162  terminates into an end portion  1164 . The exemplary end portion  1164  flares outwardly away from the outer side  1158  of the first channel rail  1144  with increasing distance in the first direction. The angled end portion  1164  allows the first tab  1150  to accommodate wall portions having different thicknesses. 
         [0221]    Referring to the rear and left side isometric view of  FIG. 45 , the exemplary second tab  1152  is oriented generally horizontally in the operative position. That is, the lateral axis  1166  of the second tab  1152  is horizontal. The second tab  1152  includes a proximal portion  1168  that extends outwardly away from the outer side  1158  of the first channel rail  1144  in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis  1160  of the second slide  1002 . The second tab  1152  also includes a distal portion  1170  that extends downwardly from the proximal portion  1168  in the operative position. The distal portion  1170  terminates in an end portion  1172 . The exemplary end portion  1172  flares outwardly and angles downwardly and away from the outer side  1158  of the first channel rail  1144 . The end portion  1172  allows the gap bounded by the second tab to accommodate wall portions having somewhat different thickness. 
         [0222]    The exemplary first slide  1000  is removably mounted to the right wall portion  1004 R in a front-load configuration of the machine  10  in which the rollout tray  80  and device supported thereby moves forwardly through the front opening  22  of the housing  12  from the retracted position to the extended position. As represented in  FIG. 43 , when the first slide  1000  is operatively engaged with the right wall portion  1004 R, the first tab  1116  extends in and engages the rear slot  1008 . The proximal portion  1122  of the first tab  1116  extends in the lower leg  1036  portion of the rear slot  1008  and the distal portion  1128  extends rearwardly beyond the rear end  1050  of the lower leg. The gap bounded by distal portion  1128  engages an outer side surface  1132  of the right wall portion  1004 R that underlies inner surface  1174  of the first tab  1116 . In this position, an outer side surface  1124  of the first channel rail  1110  engages an inner side surface  1176  of the right wall portion  1004 R. This arrangement provides firm yet releasable engagement of the slide and wall, and helps prevent horizontal movement transverse to the longitudinal axis  1126  of the first slide  1000 . Also, the rear end  1050  of the slot engages the inner surface  1174  of the first tab  1116  to help prevent the first slide  1000  from moving further rearwardly. Bottom end  1178  of the first tab  1116  engages the bottom end  1052  of the lower leg portion  1036  to help prevent the first slide  1000  from moving downwardly. Also, in this position, the horizontal step surface  1056  ( FIG. 39 ) of the step  1054  of the slot extends above top end  1180  of the first tab  1116 . The step  1054  of the slot may be configured to be in close proximity to the top end  1180  or alternatively engage the top end  1180  of the tab to prevent the first tab  1116  from moving upwardly and thus prevent the first slide  1000  when in engaged relation from moving vertically relative to the wall portion. This feature may be especially useful because the extension of the rollout tray  80  out of the machine  10  in some arrangements tends to cause the end of the first slide  1000  furthest away from the opening of the housing  12  through which the tray is extended to move upwardly. 
         [0223]    As seen in  FIG. 42 , in the example arrangement when the first slide  1000  is mounted in engaged relation with the right wall portion  1004 R, the second tab  1118  is in engaged relation with the front slot  1006 . In particular, the proximal portion  1136  of the second tab  1118  extends in the upper leg portion  1010  of the front slot  1006  and the distal portion  1140  of the second tab  1118  extends downwardly beyond the bottom end  1020  of the upper leg portion  1010 . The gap bounded by distal portion  1140  accepts and engages the outer side surface  1132  of the right side wall portion  1004 R at the inner surface  1182  of the second tab  1118 . The tab may be deformed from its original position so that spring force is applied by the tab to hold the slide in the operative position relative to the wall. An outer side  1124  surface operatively associated with the first channel rail  1110  engages the inner side  1176  of the right wall portion  1004 R. This arrangement helps prevent horizontal movement transverse to the longitudinal axis  1126  of the first slide  1000 . Also, part of the horizontal surface  1022  of the bottom end  1020  engages the inner surface  1182  of the second tab  1118  to help prevent the first slide  1000  from moving downwardly. The second tab  1118  is also spaced forwardly from the rear end  1016  of the upper leg portion  1010 , and spaced rearwardly from the front end  1024  of the lower leg  1012 . 
         [0224]    To install the exemplary first slide  1000  in engagement with to the right wall portion  1004 R, the first tab  1116  is inserted through the rear slot  1008  and the second tab  1118  is inserted through the upper leg portion  1010  of the front slot  1006 . The first slide  1000  is then moved downwardly until the second tab  1118  engages the horizontal surface  1022  of the bottom end  1020  of the upper leg portion  1010 . Then, the first slide  1000  is moved rearwardly until the first tab  1116  engages the rear end  1050  of the lower leg portion  1036  of the rear slot  1008 . This holds the slide in position where it is supported by bottom ends  1020  and  1052 . Step  1054  prevents the inner end of the slide from moving vertically when the tray is extended. The configuration of the exemplary spring-like tabs hold the slide firmly engaged with the wall. To remove the first slide  1000  from engagement with the right wall portion  1004 R, the first slide  1000  is moved forwardly until the step  1054  is not over the top end  1180  of the first tab  1116 . Then, the first slide  1116  is moved upwardly and away from the right bracket  1004 R to withdraw the tabs  1116 ,  1118  from their respective slots  1006 ,  1008 . 
         [0225]    The second slide  1002  is removably engaged with the left wall portion  1004 L of a front loaded machine ( FIG. 2 ) in which the rollout tray  80  moves forwardly through the front opening  22  of the housing  12  from the retracted position to the extended position. 
         [0226]    As seen in the rear and left side isometric view of  FIG. 44 , when the second slide  1002  is engaged with the left wall portion  1004 L, the first tab  1150  extends in and engages the rear slot  1060 . The proximal portion  1156  of the first tab extends through the lower leg portion  1088  of the rear slot  1060 , and the distal portion  1162  extends rearwardly beyond the rear end  1102  ( FIG. 40 ) of the lower leg portion  1088 . The distal portion  1162  accepts the wall portion adjacent the slot in the gap bounded thereby and engages the outer side surface  1196  of the left wall portion  1004 L at the inner surface  1188  of the first tab  1150 . The outer side surface  1196  operatively connected to the first channel rail  1144  engages the inner side  1190  of the left wall portion  1004 L. This arrangement helps prevent horizontal movement transverse to the longitudinal axis  1160  of the second slide  1002 . Also, the rear end  1102  engages the inner surface  1188  of the first tab  1150  to prevent the second slide  1002  from moving rearwardly. Bottom end  1192  of the first tab  1150  engages the bottom end  1104  of the lower leg portion  1088  to help prevent the second slide  1002  from moving downwardly. Also, in this position, the horizontal surface  1108  of the step  1106  extends over top end  1194  of the first tab  1150 . This step  1106  may be in close proximity to the top end  1194  or alternatively engage the top end  1194  to prevent the first tab  1150  from moving upwardly and thus prevent the second slide  1002  from moving upwardly. This feature may be useful because the extension of the rollout tray  80  out of the machine  10  tends to cause the end of the second slide portion  1002  furthest away from the opening to the interior of the housing  12 , to move upwardly. 
         [0227]    As seen in  FIG. 45 , when the second slide  1002  is mounted to the left wall portion  1004 L, the second tab  1152  extends in the front slot  1058 . The proximal portion  1168  of the second tab  1152  extends through the upper leg portion  1062  of the front slot  1058  and the distal portion  1170  of the second tab  1152  extends downwardly beyond the bottom end  1072  of the upper leg portion  1062 . The distal portion  1170  accepts a portion of the wall adjacent the slot into the gap and engages the outer side surface  1196  of the left wall portion  1004 L at the inner surface  1198  of the second tab  1152 . The outer side surface  1158  in operative connection with the first channel rail  1144 , engages the inner side surface  1190  of the left wall portion  1004 L. This arrangement helps prevent horizontal movement transverse to the longitudinal axis of the second slide  1002 . Also, part of the horizontal surface  1074  of the bottom end  1072  engages the second tab  1152  to help prevent the second slide  1002  from moving downwardly. The second tab  1152  is also spaced forwardly from the rear end  1068  of the upper leg  1062 , and spaced rearwardly from the front end  1076  of the lower leg  1064 . 
         [0228]    To install the second slide  1002  in engagement with the left wall portion  1004 L, the first tab  1150  is extended in the rear slot  1060  and the second tab  1152  is extended in the upper leg portion  1062  of the front slot  1058 . The second slide  1002  is the moved downwardly until the inner surface  1198  of second tab  1152  engages the horizontal surface  1074  of the bottom end  1072  of the upper leg portion  1062 . Then, the second slide  1002  is moved rearwardly until the second tab  1152  engages the rear end  1102  of the lower leg portion  1088  of the rear slot  1060 . The second slide is held in firm fixed releasable engagement with the wall portion. To remove the second slide  1002  from engagement with the left wall portion  1004 L, the second slide  1002  is moved forwardly until the step  1106  is not over the top end  1194  of the first tab  1150 . Then, the second slide  1002  is moved upwardly and away from the left wall portion  1004 L to withdraw the tabs  1150 ,  1152  from their respective slots  1060 ,  1058 . The second slide  1002  is removably mounted to the right wall portion  1004 R (as best depicted in  FIGS. 47 and 48 ) in a rear load configuration of the machine or a machine in which the rollout tray  80  moves rearwardly through a rear opening  1195  of the housing  12  from the retracted position to the extended position as represented in  FIG. 46 . As shown in  FIG. 49 , when the second slide  1002  is mounted to the right wall portion  1004 R, the first tab  1150  engages the front slot  1006 . In particular, the proximal portion  1156  of the first tab  1150  extends in the lower leg portion  1012  of the front slot  1006  and the distal portion  1162  extends forwardly beyond the front end  1024  of the lower leg portion  1012  such that the wall portion adjacent the slot extends in the gap bounded by the tab. The distal portion  1162  engages the outer side surface  1132  of the right wall portion  1004 R at the inner surface  1188  of the first tab  1150 , and the outer side  1158  of the first channel rail  1144  engages the inner side  1176  ( FIG. 47 ) of the right wall portion  1004 R. This arrangement helps prevent horizontal movement transverse to the longitudinal axis  1160  of the second slide  1002 . Also, the front end  1024  engages the inner surface  1188  of the first tab  1150  to help prevent the second slide  1002  from moving forward relative to the wall portion. The bottom end  1192  of the first tab  1150  engages the bottom end  1028  of the lower leg portion  1012  to help prevent the second slide  1002  from moving downwardly. Also, in this position, the horizontal step surface  1032  of the step  1030  extends over the top end  1194  of the first tab  1150 . This step  1030  may be in close proximity to the top end  1194  or alternatively may engage the top end  1194  to prevent the first tab  1150  from moving upwardly and thus prevent the second slide  1002  from moving vertically. This feature is especially useful because the extension of the rollout tray  80  out of the machine tends to cause the end of the second slide  1002  furthest away from the opening to the interior of the housing  12  through which the tray is extended to move upwardly. 
         [0229]    As seen in  FIG. 50 , when the second slide  1002  is mounted to the right wall portion  1004 R, the second tab  1152  engages the rear slot  1008 . In particular, the proximal portion  1168  of the second tab  1152  extends through the upper leg portion  1034  of the rear slot  1008  and the distal portion  1170  of the second tab  1152  extends downwardly beyond the bottom end  1044  of the upper leg portion  1034  such that the wall portion adjacent the slot extends in the gap bounded by the tab. The distal portion  1170  engages the outer side surface  1132  of the right wall portion  1004 R at the inner surface  1198  of the second tab  1152 , and the outer side surface  1158  in operative connection with the first channel rail  1144  engages the inner side  1176  ( FIG. 47 ) of the right wall portion  1004 R. This exemplary arrangement helps prevent horizontal movement transverse to the longitudinal axis  1160  of the second slide  1002 . Also, part of the horizontal surface  1046  of the bottom end  1044  engages the inside surface of the second tab  1152  to help prevent the second slide  1002  from moving downwardly. The exemplary second tab  1152  is also spaced forwardly from the front end  1038  of the upper leg portion  1034 , and spaced rearwardly from the rear end  1050  of the lower leg portion  1036 . 
         [0230]    To engage the second slide  1002  to the right wall portion  1004 R, the first tab  1150  is extended through the front slot  1006  and the second tab  1152  is extended through the upper leg portion  1034  of the rear slot  1008 . The second slide  1002  is then moved downwardly until the second tab  1152  engages the horizontal surface  1046  of the bottom end  1044  of the upper leg portion  1034 . Then, in the exemplary method the second slide  1002  is moved forwardly until the first tab  1150  engages the front end  1024  of the lower leg portion  1012  of the front slot  1006 . The slide is thus held in engaged relation with the wall portion. To remove the second slide  1002  from engagement with the right wall portion  1004 R, the second slide  1002  is moved rearwardly until the step  1030  is not in overlying relation to the top end  1194  of the first tab  1150 . Then, the second slide  1002  is moved upwardly and away from the right wall portion  1004 R to withdraw the tabs  1150 ,  1152  from their respective slots  1006 ,  1008 . 
         [0231]    The first slide  1000  is removably mounted to the left wall portion  1004 L of a rear load machine or in configuration of the machine  10  in which the rollout tray  80  moves outwardly through the rear opening  1195  of the housing  12  from the retracted position to the extended position ( FIG. 46 ). As seen in the rear and left side isometric view of  FIG. 52 , when the first slide  1000  is mounted on the left wall portion  1004 L, the first tab  1116  extends in the front slot  1058 . In particular, the proximal portion  1122  of the first tab  1116  extends through the lower leg portion  1064  of the front slot  1058  and the distal portion  1128  extends forwardly beyond the front end  1076  of the lower leg portion  1064  such that the wall adjacent the slot extends in the gap bounded by the tab. The distal portion  1128  engages the outer side surface  1196  of the left wall portion  1004 L at the inner surface  1174  of the first tab  1116 , and the outer side surface  1124  in operative connection with first channel rail  1110  engages the inner side  1190  of the left wall portion  1004 L. This arrangement helps prevent horizontal movement transverse to the longitudinal axis  1126  of the first slide  1000 . Also, the front end  1076  engages the inner surface  1174  of the first tab  1116  to help prevent the first slide  1000  from moving forwardly. The bottom end  1178  of the first tab  1116  engages the bottom end  1179  of the lower leg portion  1064  to help prevent the first slide  1000  from moving downwardly. Also, in this position, the horizontal step surface  1082  of the step  1080  extends in overlying relation of the top end  1180  of the first tab  1116 . The step  1080  may be in close proximity to the top end  1180  or alternatively may engage the top end  1180  to prevent the first tab  1116  from moving upwardly and thus prevent the first slide  1000  from moving vertically. This feature is useful because the extension of the rollout tray  80  out of the machine tends to cause the end of the first slide  1000  furthest away from the opening of the housing  12  through which the tray is extended to move upwardly. 
         [0232]    As seen in the rear and left side isometric view of  FIG. 51 , when the first slide  1000  is engaged with the left wall portion  1004 L, the second tab  1118  extends in the rear slot  1060 . In particular, the proximal portion  1136  of the second tab  1118  extends through the upper leg portion  1086  of the rear slot  1060  and the distal portion  1140  of the second tab  1118  extends downwardly beyond the bottom end  1096  of the upper leg portion  1086  so as to hold an area of the wall adjacent the slot in the gap bounded by the tab. The distal portion  1140  engages the outer side surface  1196  of the left wall portion  1004 L at the inner surface  1182  of the second tab  1118 , and the outer side surface  1124  in operative connection with the first channel rail  1110  engages the inner side surface  1190  of the left bracket  1004 L. This arrangement helps prevent horizontal movement transverse to the longitudinal axis  1126  of the first slide  1000 . Also, part of the horizontal surface  1098  of the bottom end  1096  engages the inner surface  1182  of the second tab  1118  to help prevent the first slide  1000  from moving downwardly. The second tab  1118  is also spaced rearwardly from the front end  1090  of the upper leg portion  1086 , and spaced forwardly from the rear end  1102  of the lower leg portion  1088 . 
         [0233]    To engage the first exemplary slide  1000  and the left wall portion  1004 L, the first tab  1116  is extended in the front slot  1058  and the second tab  1118  is extended in the upper leg portion  1086  of the rear slot  1060 . In an exemplary method, the first slide  1000  is moved downwardly until the second tab  1118  engages the horizontal surface  1098  of the bottom end  1096  of the upper leg portion  1086 . Then the first slide  1000  is moved forwardly until the first tab  1116  engages the front end  1076  of the lower leg portion  1064  of the front slot  1058 . The first slide is thus held inoperative engagement with the wall through the action of the tabs. To remove the first slide  1000  from the left wall portion  1004 L. The first slide  1000  is moved rearwardly until the step  1080  is not in overlying relation of the top end  1180  of the first tab  1116 . Then, the first slide  1000  is moved upwardly and away from the left wall portion  1004 L to withdraw the tabs  1116 ,  1118  from their respective slots  1058 ,  1060 . The exemplary tabs  1116 ,  1118 ,  1150 . and  1152  are configured such that the gaps bounded thereby are in close tolerance with the thickness of their associated wall portions, and once engaged the exemplary tabs utilize the resilient properties of the exemplary material to provide a spring type clamping force on the area of the wall in the gap which tends to hold the associated slide in engagement with the bracket. 
         [0234]    Alternatively, the first slide may be configured to be removably mounted to the right wall portion and the second slide may be removably mounted to the left wall portion in both the front load and rear load configurations. In this arrangement, the first slide may include first and second tabs that engage rear and front slots, respectively, of the right wall portion in the front load configuration. In the rear load configuration, the first and second tabs of the first slide engage the front and rear slots, respectively, of the right wall portion. In this arrangement, the second slide may include first and second tabs that engage rear and front slots, respectively, of the left wall portion in the front load configuration. In the rear loaded configuration the first and second tabs of the second slide engage the front and rear slots, respectively, of the left wall portion. 
         [0235]    In the exemplary embodiment, the slots are configured to be generally mirror images of one another. This facilitates the configuration of the automated banking machine such that the slides and the device supporting rollout tray which is attached thereto can be readily configured such that the tray can be extended from an opening at the front of the housing or alternatively from the rear of the housing. However, it should be understood that in other example embodiments the principles discussed herein may be applied to slots that are not mirror image or symmetric configurations. In addition, in the exemplary embodiment the slots are formed in the wall portions, while the tabs are in operatively fixed connection with the slides. In other exemplary embodiments, this configuration may be changed. For example, in some example embodiments the slots may in operatively fixed connection with the slides, and the tabs may be in operatively fixed connection with the wall portions. Alternatively in other embodiments, a tab and slot may be associated with a single slide, while an engagingly configured slot and tab may be in operatively fixed connection with the adjacent wall portion. Further, it should be understood that while in the exemplary embodiment each slide includes two contact points, including interengaging tabs and slots which hold the respective slide in engagement with a wall portion, in other embodiments other arrangements may be used. This may include for example a single interengaging tab and slot for each slide. This might be used for example where the tray or slide structure is supported within the machine by other structures. This might include for example a bracket which supports the slides in an area away from the interengaging tab and slots. Similarly in other alternative embodiments, each slide may include more than two interengaging tab and slot arrangements. As can be appreciated, numerous configurations may be achieved using the principles described herein. 
         [0236]    Further, while the exemplary embodiment has discussed the use of two slides disposed from one another that support a tray that can be extended from the machine, other embodiments may use other configurations. This might include for example a single slide which is sufficient to hold a tray which can be extended out of the machine. Further in other embodiments, trays may include two or more vertically disposed slides engaged with a wall portion. A tray operative to hold a transaction function device may be engaged with both of the vertically disposed slides which are attached to generally the same wall. This will enable the tray and the associated device to be extended out of an opening from the machine. 
         [0237]    In the exemplary embodiment described, the configuration of the tabs and slots are such that the slides may be attached to the wall portions by engaging the tabs in the slots and moving the slide so as to position the tabs in the desired position relative to the slots. Because of the engaging force of the exemplary tabs holding the wall portion adjacent to the slots in the gap formed by the tabs, there may be no need to have any additional fasteners or other devices for holding the tabs in engagement with the wall portion. However, in some embodiments it may be desirable to have such fasteners. Such fasteners may have various forms. For example in some embodiments a surface associated with a slide may include an aperture which can accept a fastener so as to engage the respective slide in engagement with the side wall. One or more such fasteners may prevent the slide from moving relative to the side wall, so as to prevent disengagement of the slide and tray therefrom. Alternatively in some embodiments, a spring loaded plunger type structure may be used to engage an aperture either in the slide or the side wall. Engagement of a plunger in the aperture may likewise prevent relative movement of the slide unless the plunger has been retracted from engagement with the aperture. Alternatively and/or in addition, projections in operative connection with either the slide or side wall may engage corresponding openings or apertures in the opposite structure in a manner that prevents relative movement of the slide so as to cause the slide to disengage. Again in this case, the projection may be movable so as to disengage and allow the slide to be moved. Numerous different releasable fastening arrangements may be applied, holding the slides in engagement with the walls in various embodiments. 
         [0238]    Of course it should be understood that while in the exemplary embodiments the slide and tray structures discussed have been used in connection with supporting devices from vertically extending side walls, the principles described herein may also be utilized in connection with supporting structures from horizontally or other types of walls within an automated banking machine. For example, one or more slides may be utilized to support a tray structure associated with a device in operatively supported connection with a horizontally extending top wall of the chest. This might include for example a processor or other device which is positioned within an upper portion of the housing. Alternatively and/or in addition, one or more such structures may be utilized in connection with supporting a device in movably mounted connection with a horizontal structure at the top, bottom or intermediate portion of the housing. In addition it should be understood that while exemplary structures have a generally fixed base of a slide structure in connection with a wall of a machine other arrangements may associate the base of the slide structure with the tray or device housing so that the base of the slide is movable with the tray and the device. Further it should be understood that while movable tray structures and supporting devices may be often used in an upper housing portion of an automated banking machine, such structures may also be utilized within the chest portion of a machine. 
         [0239]    As can be appreciated, an advantage of exemplary embodiments may include the ability to use a common housing structure for both front load and rear load automated banking machines. This may facilitate assembly in a factory environment, such that assembly line workers may engage the slides in connection with the slots and position the slides appropriately so as to firmly hold the slides in engagement with the walls or other supporting structures. The trays supporting the devices can then be engaged with the slides so as to facilitate extending the devices outward through an opening from the housing as is appropriate from the machine. For example, in the front load machine the slides individually or as part of a tray assembly may be moved to extend tabs into the slots in the manner previously described, with the tabs positioned relative to the slots so as to achieve a firm engagement between the tabs, the slides, and the walls of the enclosure. In exemplary embodiments the symmetrical configuration will enable construction of the machine so as to allow the tray to be extended from either an opening on the front of the housing or an opening on the back of the housing, as may be appropriate for the particular machine. In some situations, housing might have openings at both the front and the back. As can be appreciated for example, a similar housing may be used for a front load machine where a fascia associated with the user interface is movably mounted relative to the machine. One or more trays to support devices within the machine may be movably mounted so as to extend through the front opening of the housing. Likewise, a rear load machine may include a fascia that is infixed relation to the front of the housing. The housing may include a door controlled by a lock. The door may be opened from the rear of the housing. In such a rear load configuration, trays can be extended through the rear opening of the housing when the access door is open. Instill other embodiments, the fascia may be movable away from the housing, for example supported on tray structures like those described in the exemplary embodiment. The rear of the housing may also have a door which can be opened. In such configurations, trays may be configured to be extendable from either the front opening or the rear opening. Of course these approaches are exemplary, and in other embodiments other approaches may be used. 
         [0240]    Also, sometimes after a machine has been deployed, it may be desirable to change devices that are utilized in the machine. This may include for example adding devices to the machine that were not originally included at the time of manufacture. This might include for example adding a device that can accept and image checks. It may alternatively include for example adding a device that can both accept and dispense currency bills. Alternatively, a change in devices may include adding a coin dispenser. a passbook printer, or other devices not originally present in the machine. Alternatively, such modifications may involve removing a device that was installed at the time of manufacture, and replacing it with a different device. 
         [0241]    The principles described may be applied in such circumstances to facilitate the reconfiguration of such machines in the field. This may be done by including slot structures in the wall portions at appropriate positions for many different types of configurations of devices that might be possible for a given housing structure. For example, although the machine may not be originally manufactured to include a check acceptor, slots may be included in the wall portions to support slides which support a check acceptor should one need to be installed in the future. By anticipating the range of different devices that may be installed within the machine, a field service technician may readily move existing slide and tray structures which support different types of devices, and relocate and install different ones as appropriate. Thus the time and effort associated with installing new devices and/or reconfiguring the machine to remove and include different devices may be reduced. Numerous different approaches and benefits may be achieved using the principles described herein. 
         [0242]    Thus the automated banking machines and systems of the exemplary embodiments may achieve one or more of the above stated objectives, eliminate difficulties encountered in the use of prior devices and systems, solve problems and attain the desirable results described herein.
