Patent ID: 7837096

Claim:
Apparatus comprising: a card reader operative to read data from a data carrying user card; an automated banking machine adapted to allow operation thereof by a user to carry out at least one transaction responsive to a computer determined comparison of data read from a user card by the card reader and identification information corresponding to at least one authorized user; a housing; at least one input device in operative supported connection with the housing, wherein the at least one input device is operative to receive inputs from users of the machine, wherein the at least one input device includes the card reader and wherein the inputs are usable to identify at least one of a respective user and a respective user's financial account; at least one output device in operative supported connection with the housing, wherein the at least one output device is operative to provide outputs including instructions concerning machine usage; at least one cash dispenser device in operative supported connection with the housing, wherein the at least one cash dispenser device is operative to cause cash to be dispensed from the machine; at least one deposit accepting device in operative supported connection with the housing, wherein the at least one deposit accepting device is operative to read indicia on sheets received from machine users; at least one processor in the housing, wherein the at least one processor is in operative connection with the at least one input device, the at least one output device, the at least one cash dispenser device, and the at least one deposit accepting device; wherein the at least one deposit accepting device includes: a sheet path therein, wherein sheets move along the sheet path; a first magnetic read head operative to read magnetic indicia on checks in the sheet path; a second magnetic read head operative to read magnetic indicia on checks in the sheet path; a mount, wherein the mount is in operative connection with at least one of the first magnetic read head and the second magnetic read head, wherein the mount is movably mounted transversely relative to the sheet path; a positioning device in operative connection with the mount; at least one sensor in the sheet path, wherein the at least one processor is operative responsive to the at least one sensor sensing a check in the sheet path, to cause the positioning device to move at least one of the first magnetic read head and the second magnetic read head, wherein at least one of the first magnetic read head and the second magnetic read head is operative to read magnetic indicia on the check.
